When I look around at many of the female leaders or celebrities today, despite all the “advances” in women’s rights, education, and entry into the public sphere, they still somehow seem so much less than women from 100+ years ago.
What would our great or great-great grandmothers think of their selfies, social media posturing, cries of victim hood, unhinged rants in public, and so on? What would a woman on the frontier think, for example?
Would Ashley Judd’s speech at the women’s march seem self indulgent to a woman who had babies minus hospitals or doctors, who raised and preserved all her own and her family’s food, who lived without electricity or running water but did laundry and cooking anyway, who made all the clothing, and provided the family and livestock with medical care, a woman much too busy occupied with her family’s survival and well being to be self indulgent.
With all the things we women have today that she could only have dreamed of, I ask — can we be better women? Women that woman would celebrate and respect? Women who are thankful for the easy life they enjoy today, built upon the hardworking women of the generations before? Women worthy of that?
Certainly it is possible to rise and soar rather than to whine and complain, or be foul and base and loose, always wanting more, more, more while giving back less and less?
Be better. A worthy life goal. Do it for her. Do it for the women to come. It’s as simple and complicated as that.
Let those who have ears hear.
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
Odd that mention this you do.
Farm Boy has a related post ready for early next week he does
How can most women be better women when most women are so preoccupied with not being women at all? Or, better yet, how about all of the women who are preoccupied with being exactly like men?
As long as women fight their unique gender differences, and learn to be as responsible as men have to be, then they will always fail at being better women. Men also will want nothing to do with them. And until most of the women experience hardship, or even having to work like a man for most of their lives, the level of entitlement will remain through the roof. I’m getting that most men are getting really sick of it all. Marriage rates are declining, etc.
I thought that Ashley Judd’s speech was disgusting, frankly. Even her sister said that it was “toxic”.
Slight correction: “and FAIL to learn to be as responsible as men have to be”.
I don’t think women have changed much in the last 100 years. They were, after all, nagging and complaining about men drinking to the point that men actually voted for prohibition and then the gave women the right to vote.
That didn’t come out of nowhere. I think if anything women from that time looking forward to today would be disappointed that so many women have, through
blatant displays of narcissism, let the cat out of the bag.
As far as the average woman then being more stoic than today’s, well they were just as destructive of their marriages and families as any I have see today. Boy’s were neglected, shamed and beat down while daughters were sent away to be raised by others because momma couldn’t handle it anymore. (personal experience)
I do have one question though. Quantifiably speaking, what would make a women better today? Maybe some bullet points, not listed as what women shouldn’t be, but rather what they should be.
I think we can all agree that women shouldn’t dress like sluts, cuss like sailors and drink like fishes.
Here is Ashley Judd’s famous speech. It is worse than I remembered.
Feminism cannot raise the status of women to be goddesses while men are brought to slavery. It isn’t going to work.
I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but there is a Star Trek version of her speech that is absolutely hilarious.
“Fire Phasers” HAHAHAHAHA!
This one?
@ “Ashley Judd performs HER “nasty” poem … ”
For those who may not know – Ms. Judd did not write that poem. Someone gave it to her and asked her to read it.
Attempting to become entitled men they seem
Though men normally not entitled they are.
So unusual breed this would be
The original post talks about women changing across time. A responder says they see evidence that women in the past have been similar to what they are now.
That leads me to think that the emphasis is on the wrong thing. Instead of looking at whether women change across time, look at whether they change across social class.
If God created Eve to be a help, proper and suitable for Adam, if that is her reason for being – then what does Eve become if Adam doesn’t need her help and she has all this time on her hands?
The women of yesteryear described in the OP can still be found all over the globe in third-world economies. When you survive only on what you can scratch out of the ground, there is not much time for anything else. The leaders of the Women’s movements, way back when and now, are not wives of farmers who won’t have anything to eat next year if they don’t take care of business this year. They are women with time on their hands. With nothing better to do. And bright. And bored. The women who attend such gatherings might be the wives of farmers (but probably not), but the leaders certainly are not.
If Eve was made to be a help for Adam, what does she become if Adam doesn’t need her help and she has all this time on her hands?
Be a better woman?
Lets look at the idea of matriarch. A 50 year old from the 1970s versus today.
1970
Wife of 25+ years to one man
A man who would die defending her
A man who works a hard job 40+ hrs a week likely til he dies to provide for her
Homemaker who is proud of her neat, clean almost paid for home of the last 20 years.
A proud mother of the bride last year with an watchful eye on that groom
An awaiting grandmother to be to guide the next generation.
A respected member of the community, schools and charities.
A worshiping member of her faith.
Now
Unmarried but still waiting for her prince…any day now.
Supports herself cause shes as good as any man
Eggs in the freezer cause its still possiblecats and grand cats.

The idea to look if women have changed across social classes is a good one. Looking at it from that perspective I think women have changed. I definitely don’t think we would have found a millionaire’s wife dressing and acting publicly like she does today.
I suppose also, that if we look to how nun’s of old attired and carried themselves we would again see drastic differences.
As regards mgtowhorseman’s assessment, I never saw that, but that could be because of the particular lens through which I assess the world and my own history.
Cynic’s aren’t born, we’re made. Back in the 70’s I saw only sass, go gurrlll sluttery. the blame game coupled with a “why does this always happen TO me” level of self awareness.
Different strokes I guess.
Ashley Judd is a tranny. So is her so called sister and mom. Tranny families in the entertainment industry are more common than one would think.
for example, Demi Moore and her tranny clan;

I was thinking of my grandma who was 60 something in 1970 when I was 6.
She would have been born around 1910, raised in the depression and a young mother in the war years. I knew her as feminine, always put together but strong as a bull and devoted to husband, family and faith.
Basically the better woman RPG is talking about.
This remind me of her.
@mgtowH
Great that you have those kinds of memories.
My earliest memories are filled with nothing but cockroaches and excrement (literal human excrement).
What I wouldn’t pay for decent memories. (sigh).

Make Degoba seem good you do
“Make Degoba seem good you do”
Degoba probably smelled better for sure. 🙂
Though I never learned why, I think when we got evicted it was probably because the neighbors could no longer tolerate the stench. It was a row house right in the middle of the block.They actually had to remove the front stoop to make sure people understood the place was uninhabitable.
I don’t blame the neighbors, we should have been kicked out, but it just amazes me that children services wasn’t called in. I think my mom knew people at CPS and sweet talked her way out of any trouble.
When I finally left home a 19, I could not believe how good the world could be. I remember the town around my first duty station, no row houses, I was astonished by the seeming luxury of it all.
Roman … glad you made it out alive. To discover life, reality, truth. Few do. Glad you made it … congrats !
@mega
Thanks.
I almost can’t believe I survived it myself. There are any number of times I think I should have died.
Roman,
That is not good. I will take Yoda’s word for it being worse than Degoba.
Maybe it is time to get back to the original post. To all the women lurking, if you want to be ahead of the curve, it will be best to see men not as competitors but as teammates. To see them “the enemy” will lead to fear and holding them in contempt which will force you to go through life on your own.
