HEADLINE: Advice to a Young Woman: Secrets That Feminists Don’t Want You to Know by Jennifer Bryson 

* God wants something from me.

* It has been a time of tremendous learning and prayer.

HEADLINE: Feminism and Marxism Were Spawned out of the Same Zeitgeist: An Interview with Jennifer Bryson 

* The four ‘waves’ of feminism—although some argue that there have been five or six at this point—are all just variations on the same idea with the same end. While each of these waves has distinct traits, I want to focus on the broader problems with feminism—found in all its iterations—by taking a closer look at its primary goal: to change the structure of society in order to improve the lot of women.

* Becoming what someone wants to be is in the hands of that human being.

* First came the normalization of single career-women. Then, the normalization of married women intentionally without children. Then normalization of lesbian women. Then normalization of women roaming in and out of various forms of relationships or even just hook-ups. These share two underlying shifts. First, a reconceptualization of what a woman is, now ever more distance from her capacity to bear new life with a man. Second, they share an assumption that what a woman is can change, even be helped along by rolls of the revolution along the path called “progress.” With change itself made normative, we should not be surprised that an attempted normalization of me...
