My high school in Canada brought ZPG into our Grade 12 health class to urge us not to have children. They had an impact. I remained childless, but for stepdaughters who became immersed in popular culture, and without religious foundation. Madonna and the Kardashians were their role models. I watched in horror (and enforced silence) as they embraced the culture of promiscuity, self-absorption, and now in their middle age, dissatisfaction. The one bright spot is a granddaughter who has adopted traditional values and is now mother to five children. She and her husband are broke, but happy. They may never be able to afford a home unless "step-grandma" leaves them a sizable inheritance. I plan to do so, though it means very little remaining for the selfish mother and aunts -- relatives who offer the young family no support and are bitterly jealous of any that I provide. Let's hope that the pendulum will swing back with this younger generation who have watched their own mothers lead hollow lives of drunkenness, debauchery and despair.

You've made the right decision!

I remember, as a 20-year old in the very early '70s, a premonition that it would be a very long time until I'd be a mother. Which turned out to be true as I finally had my only child at 36, after a decade and a half of heartbreak and alienation.

I also had my kids late… and doubt I’ll ever be a grandmother. We were sold a lie. And especially as an intelligent girl who excelled academically of course I had to have a profession and by the time I did get married, the economy was tough and we needed 2 incomes. I worked part time and always felt that I did neither my job nor my family justice.

Elizabeth, do you know back in the 70’s when I was in high school and most of us were first generation children of European immigrants, the worst insult to a fellow girl was to call her conceited.

Here's an idea. Since you hate women, and women hate you. Do what all the misogynists have been doing: put on a dress, and change your name to Petra. All the feminists who once hated you will call you stunning and brave, and will fight to the death for you to shake your dick in other women and children's faces. Ain't life grand!!

Oh, yes...that situation is all too familiar. My friends adopted an Asian child, gave her everything. I mean EVERYTHING. After she graduated college, she announced to them that she had no place in her life for "white people" and they have not seen her for years. They're devastated. Very, very sad.

I'm reading more and more of parental estrangement😳, something maybe only ever seen with unusually abusive situations🤔 Seems many of the parents don't even know why they can't know their grandkids, or why their children refuse to communicate at all with them, these parents did everything thoughtfully and considerately to the best of their ability, were involved and are left bewildered and heartbroken

What I've witnessed are outside forces, such as universities and therapists, who convince the child that the relationship is "toxic" and not worth salvaging. The young woman in question was always very, very spoiled. I've noticed that my "problem step kids" have a very strange perspective on relationships. They demand that their parents agree with everything they do ("You're not being supportive! You're supposed to love me unconditionally!"), and that they demand "validation." When you start to unpack it, you discover that they don't just want your approval, but your admiration. This is baffling when they haven't done anything particularly admirable.

Bequeath in a 'Will' in stages. Give a certain amount, or a house, in Stage 1. Then set a bequest in a Stage 2, 10 years later. Then a Stage 3 bequest 20 years after that. Why? Because in Stage 1 the receiver is overjoyed, foolish, & wastes it. In Stage 2 he's smarter & uses it more proactively, & includes others. In Stage 3 it's 30% for himself, & the rest he uses for whatever community he feels an obligation to & desire to truly help. Leaving it all in one bequest mostly doesn't help the recipient much.

Yes. I'll be doing that. I expect to provide their downpayment, and then when I'm gone, their inheritance (iron clad!) should cover the rest. Right now, they're searching for something they can afford, assuming that I put a 20% downpayment on the place, but they simply don't earn enough. Life is going to be tough for them. But they're happy, love one another and their kids, and they're living the best lives they can.

You are making incorrect assumptions. All my stepchildren are female and I lament that they were raised by their mother to embrace values very different from my own. I did not interfere, as it was not my place to do so. Fortunately, I've had greater influence on my step-granddaughter who, after college, realized how much she wanted to be a traditional mother. (Until retirement, I had a career in high tech, a male dominated industry. I could hold my own with them, on their terms.)

In my school, we were not taught to hate men. We admired them. We competed with them academically, and in good spirits. We were their cheerleaders -- literally and figuratively.

I do agree that one false accusation by a woman can destroy a man's life. I have been vocal in demanding that any woman who falsely accuses a man of rape be required to serve the maximum sentence of the crime she accused an innocent person of committing. The most vile thing any person can do is make a false accusation.

Which brings us to you...

For you to think that all women are man-haters is misguided. Many of us have the greatest love and respect for men -- and we are not fat, ugly communists. Perhaps you have been so wrapped up in your own anger about your past that you haven't noticed. For that, I am sorry. I hope that you someday realize that there are good women out there who love and support their men. Maybe if you were less angry, one of them would be attracted to you.

Ben Wattenberg published The Birth Dearth in 1987. I read it in the early 90s because it seemed so counter-cultural. I resolved to have children, whom I then raised and educated myself (with grateful thanks to a hard-working husband). I informally named our homeschool Salmon Academy because it felt like continually swimming upstream against powerful cultural currents. As a Christian you might say I “died to self” daily. At times it was very lonely but also in the end supremely fulfilling. (I earned my gray hair teaching reading.) Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing and ponder sadly my college classmates who are now 60 and childless. I have my first grandchild and hope for many to come. There is no greater investment! The horrifying delusion and deliberate deception of our times, that our own descendants are worthless trash, needs to be broadcast far and wide. Thank you for sharing these video clips. So many have no idea how deep this betrayal goes.

We started homeschooling our children around 1987 when it was almost illegal. There were few homeschooler groups then but my wife found them and was our children’s teacher then. Our grandchildren are homeschooled now, and there are many excellent resources now that didn’t exist then.

I'm not a Christian — but I can connect the violent, hysterical cheering we saw by liberal women for Charlie Kirk's assassination to their worship of abortion. Duh. If you get can convince women that the greatest threat to them is taking away their right to kill the living being they've created — and kill it just because, hey, it's just not the right time to be a mom, then you are more effective at enlisting women than Charlie Manson.

Joanie Higgs's avatar

Here's the thing: that "not the right time to be a mom" wasn't our own idea; it was internalized through intentional social thought-seeding via cinema, pop music and the communistic treatises of Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, and Germaine Greer (Greer later saw the tragic error).

In other words, it wasn't individual selfishness, but fear of not living up to what we came to know was expected of us -- a shiny glass and concrete job. Not to mention the loneliness of a life of single-motherhood. When all we wanted deep down was to build a family like the one we'd been so lucky to have grown up in.

"the food system... engineered to reduce population." That is one facet of the end game -- toxic food that reduces fertility and messes with hormones (transgenderism), but also food control so they can starve who they will.

Your warnings sync tightly with Rod Dreher's book Living in Wonder, in which he interviews former Satanists who realized that the mystical forces that promised them power and pleasure ultimately sought to enslave, torture, and destroy them. I was raised secular but now I am a pastor -- the world is not what it seems. It is increasingly vulnerable to demonic spirits prowling like lions to devour. The more that Christianity has waned, the wider that door to Hell has been reopened.

We are in an eternal spiritual battle, not a one-lifetime materialist excursion before the lights go out. The lights go on forever -- either a white, infinite joy, or a red, endless torment. Must be Karma.

Tom Potts's avatar

People, especially young people who play with the occult, open their minds, hearts, and souls to demonic forces that desire to destroy them and others. Stay away from it. Surrender to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will seal your heart and soul for eternity. Then the demons can not enter you. They can still torment you but have no power to enter and control you.

Another brilliant piece, Elizabeth. Btw, your readers may not know that "Do what thou wilt," usually credited to Aleister Crowley, actually originated in the eighteenth century Hellfire Club, of which Benjamin Franklin was a prominent member. Orgies with prostitutes dressed as nuns was racy stuff in those days. And, as another example of how these evil things have a long shelf life, there is a Hellfire Club mentioned favorably on the popular Netflix series "Stranger Things." Darkness is always celebrated by our overlords. Thanks!

Yeah literally no one is following President Trump's lead when it comes to revival. He is providing the opportunity by acknowledging our Christian founding and his own humble faith journey. No one is pretending Scooter, and there is PLENTY of evidence to show President Trump is in tune with our culture, believes in God and the afterlife and is a warm and caring, intelligent person who thinks of others first not a "barbarian." Everyone who meets him says he's extremely intelligent, funny and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

Maybe turn off MSNBC, Jimmy Kimmel and the rest of the fake news which has fed your ego and TDS.

That said, I hope you end up discovering the beauty and wonder of God's gift and put the pursuit of a deep relationship with Christ at the center of your life. Nothing else compares to it. It's amazing.

God bless you and yours.

A well done broad and deep dive into the mystery of the meaning of life. I came to my own perspective at age 15 on top of crag with a great view which has been reinforced by my readings throughout my lifetime. The meaning of life came to me when I listened carefully and understood the enormity of life around me and my small part among the trees, plants, insects and animals that lived within the forest. I felt one with it all. The meaning of life is life. To live honesty as myself which I have come to understand more completely the past 80yrs. That understanding includes recognition that our DNA is our primary driver and the source of our seeking truth in our surroundings. DNA is where our 'truth meter' resides and the source of cooperative survival, market-driven exchange and the "Golden Rule". DNA also carries a form of memory as we activate genes in our life's experience and pass these on to our children. DNA is a fascinating library of life's adaption to circumstance.

Humans are truth-seekers as an act of survival and we share what we learn what works with the next generation. Each of us is part of human evolution and we have a personal responsibility to do good and do this as competently as possible self-checking along the way. The meaning of life is life. One needs to be present each moment and listen carefully to all our inputs, especially those from others and then make our own judgements for which we take responsibility. When we give our perspective to others, that is our contribution to making humanity better informed, better prepared to meet future challenges. The meaning of life is to come to know oneself and speak truthfully so others may benefit. I am still learning.

I chose not to have children (and never had a abortion), and while I don't sense these influences impacted me directly (but certainly see them playing out in younger women), my choice still likely was influenced by a culture of trauma that we swim in, and never feeling supported, nurtured and safe enough to bring young ones into it. These are very subtle forces.

Your writing is, as usual, incredible, and helped me acknowledge and accept that some of what I feel, is actually natural not odd, but I would never have learned what is natural. I will likely be writing my own essay, launched from your incredibly well articulated synopsis.

My heart is broken 💔 this problem is so profound, how will we ever fix it? We go back and forth from too many people, to not enough. In 75 yrs I won't be here, neither will my children, and none of my children, all in their 30s now, have children. Not because they dont want them, only one is married, his wife had her first miscarriage in May, they are still trying. The other 2 my middle son and youngest daughter are not even in relationships because of exactly what is described in this article. My son is 35, his sensitive heart cant handle the brutality of feminist women of today. He is constantly confused about what he should say or what is expected of him. My youngest daughter now 31 is in love with love...she falls so easily, and constantly gets her heart broken. I am in the middle, trying to balance the two opinions that both want to blame on the other sex. Its interesting because both are right, and wrong to some degree. Although I think my son has the harder journey because, well, hes up against 5th wave feminist that constantly eat him alive.

I recall fishing in Canada (western Ontario)- some great times with my sons. One lake we fished in- all we caught were crappies, no matter our bait or methods. When we moved to other lakes: bass, walleye, northern pike, lake trout. I would encourage your son to "find a different 'lake'". I do believe there are different 'populations' of women that aren't 5th wave feminists.

And I feel your pain; my 34 yr old son also not married [three younger siblings all are, with children]; his challenges might be a bid different than your son's, nevertheless . . .

A sad and necessary essay. The compound effect of “White priveledge” becoming extinct along with Christian values is the Muslim birth rates elevating to take over. And the satanic efforts to disperse these evil inbreeders into western society to provide slave labor to those few masters is an appalling failure of leadership. I fear Trump will stand alone in history as our last stand to protect culture and sanctity of family. Perhaps JD can carry on from there god willing.
