Heartwarming story tweeted by a former 3rd wave feminist. Much of the progressive narrative is constructed in binaries because it is designed to divide.
“I used to hate all that made me a woman. I hated all traditional values. I wanted to get sterilized because I truly disliked children. I wanted to live for myself. I was depressed and so angry. I dressed very immodestly and had a very immodest atitude. I was abrasive and rude.
I remember the first time a friend of mine told me she was a feminist and I recall asking “what is a feminist?” This is where my journey into feminism and liberalism truly began.
I remember being told women were oppressed so I sat at home thinking of all the ways I had been oppressed for being a woman. I honestly couldn’t really think of one but I would have never admitted that. Feminism sounded good to me because I wanted to live for myself. My friends always joked that I was a “strong independent woman that don’t need no man” because that was my atitude, yet deep inside I wanted a man, I wanted to have that relationship and connection, but I constantly fought against it because I thought I was suppose to. Modern women don’t need men and jobs. Right?
Years of feminism did nothing but make me even more bitter and angry, this is what it does to vast majority of women.
I suppressed all the typical feminine things my very nature wanted to do because those things aren’t for the modern woman and would just make me miserable, or so I thought. All I cared about was having a big deal career and jobs. But nothing was ever enough. As soon as I got one thing I was working towards the happiness and fulfillment was short lived. I was already thinking about what I needed to do next. Always chancing the high to mask the emptiness inside.
I remember after I met my now husband and we were dating he was talking about us possibly getting married in the future, and I felt the weirdest of things, I had not thought in years that I could get married, that that could even be a possibility for me, and it made me feel happy, that was the moment the feminist frame of mind started breaking.
When my heart was finally opened to my true desires and nature that I had been denying for years I finally saw how wrong I had been the whole time.
My heart was softened and now looking back I see Gods work in my life for so very long…I thought feminism was setting me free but turns out all it was doing was leaving me shackle…”
