Thoughts of a Regular Guy: "Feminism Has Much To Answer For"

I read the article attached to this, and it is powerful!

How my mother's fanatical views tore us apart

By Rebecca Walker

She's revered as a trail-blazing feminist and author Alice Walker touched the lives of a generation of women. A champion of women's rights, she has always argued that motherhood is a form of servitude. But one woman didn't buy in to Alice's beliefs - her daughter, Rebecca, 38.

Here the writer describes what it was like to grow up as the daughter of a cultural icon, and why she feels so blessed to be the sort of woman 64-year-old Alice despises - a mother.

Read the entire article here (and should it disappear, I have saved it)....

God bless!
