Gen-X, Gen-Y Women: The Liberators and Protectors of America and its Men

A 2nd Revolution is poised to sweep America. It can be the world's first 'silk' revolution for freedom, if today's young women answer the clarion call of its honory Founding Mother, Ayn Rand
by Emma Goldman
(Libertarian)
Thursday, July 24, 2008


Ever since the "women's suffrage movement" led to the birth of the first anti-American 'organization for women' - The League of Women Voters - the so-called 'women's suffrage movement', which was nothing but a Marxist-Leninist evaluation based on their revisionist history propaganda, has gradually led to increasing suffering of American men and women ever since.  Indeed, the world over!  But I'm not concerned with world revolution, merely a moral revolution in America that will once and for all liberate all of us Americans.  I'm now starting to see possibilities for achieving what is called a "silk revolution" : the world's first revolution for Individual Rights and genuine Liberty that will not need or use violence.  "Only in America, Only by Women", will be the new Liberty Maven's mantra.  How fitting is that acronym for my meditation: "OAOW"

Before you get bent out of shape, I am NOT disparaging today's LWV organization (although I must confess I'm beginning to think there's no use for it in its present form), because I know of many smart, hard working, family oriented women who are in the LWV, and I know that they are so ignorant of the true motives of those Founding Socialist Mothers of the LWV. So they are simply unwitting accomplices to the original "founding revolutionary principles".  But they shall not remain unwitting for long, because their dear friend Emma will rescue them from their state of mass manipulation.

Keep reading, my Dear Reader...

Today's women do yet not understand how the LWV (and organizations like it) in fact undermine both men and women's happiness in America, and have been "progressively" destroying marriages (and liberty) to increasing degrees since 1920s.

I'm not talking about women being barefoot and pregnant at the behest of their men.  Let's not deny though those women who enjoyed (and enjoy) being pregnant... it's likely your mom was one of them (mine was too).

I'm not talking about the home being "a woman's place."  Although that's a woman's personal option.

The OAOW Revolution will be poised to begin when 20% of American women understand its principles.  Before the OAOW principles can be released, I must precede them with the story of my enlightenment.

"The organizing principle of the LWV is that you (as a woman) don't have a brain, my dear," my friend (let's call her Susan) told me yesterday, while we were meeting for our morning conversation at our neighborhood Starbucks cafe.  "Do you see the ridiculous folly of having national organizations 'to lead' women?" she quoted with her fingers in the air, and biting sarcasm in her voice and her youthful, intelligent face, "And yet there is no League of Men Voters, or National Organization for Men!  The damned LWV should've dissolved soon after the successful passage of the Constitution's 19th Amendment, if it was indeed part of a 'suffrage movement' to garner voting rights. Did you know it was formed only six month's prior?  What a spectacularly successful organization that was... probably the most stupendously successful federal lobbying organization in American history."  Her voice pitched and loud, she threw a mockingly helpless glance skyward, as she raised her arms in the air, in the manner of a half-wit looking up to their "divine" savior.

"Hmm", my eyes narrowed in concentration, I considered her words for a moment, "You're essentially saying the LWV was formed to guide women as a group to vote as a monolithic block."

"Bingo!" Susan looked at me knowingly, over the tops of her horn-rimmed, red spectacles.  "Ever since I saw that Donahue interview Ayn Rand did, when Ayn was saying how condescending it was that N.O.W. was posing as the leader of women, as if women needed to be led as a group of sheep.  Now recently, since I've been thinking about the LWV crowd I hang around with at work, and what era the LWV's birth was in, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to burn my membership card, like you convinced me to do with the Sierra Club!"

"Interesting!  Too bad I'm not an LWV member; we could have a light-it-up party, true 21-ARA style!"  I went back to work, and later googled the LWV...

These excerpts from Wikipedia caught my eye:

"It began as a "mighty political experiment" aimed to help newly-enfranchised women exercise their responsibilities as voters."

MY COMMENT: Note that in 1920, women WERE NOT IN POLITICS... whose "political experiment" was it then, my Dear Reader??  A certain group of hidden MEN leading on a small cadrie of self-righteous, politically aspiring collectivist women.  What groups of hidden men were rising to political power after 1917??  That's right : Marxist-Leninists, my Dear Reader.

"The league works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and to influence public policy through education and advocacy, as well as through political lobbying of Congress." (italics mine).

MY COMMENT: My girl Susan was onto something.  Leading women indeed -- Ayn Rand was spot on (again).  "Bah bah you female sheep.  Can't think for yourself?  Join Us!  We will grant you your political voice!  We are the League of Women Voters!  Telling women what to do for 88 years now!  (I can see the Marxist-Leninist grins on those collectivist founding fathers and mothers of the LWV)"

Are you going to vote democrat all your life, simply because that's what your mommy and your LWV friends have always done?


The Silk Revolution is now declared:  The Mantra is "Only in America,  Only by Women"

The next step will be to publish the OAOW Silk Revolution Principles.

This story must be forwarded to every female you know, my Dear Reader.  We must achieve around 30 million women, who are willing to break away from their own women friends and family, regarding the status quo, socialist / fascist politics of today.  With so many hearts and minds for me to touch, I implore you, my Dear Reader, to consider my story above, and to circulate this initial idea far and wide:  "Dump the LWV (at least ideologically); either reform the LWV for Liberty, and for Individualist-Feminist rights (ala Wendy McElroy), or abolish it."

Sincerely,

Emma Goldman

21-ARA Founder

Silk Revolutionary Founding Mother
