Meet The Flyover Women Pop Culture
Ignores

Profound and beautifully expressed. Thank you.

This article is beautifully composed, and the message is exquisite. Please take the time to read it. Here's a sample: "..Fly-over women know feminist ideology is the weary set of ideas that led us to a country in which millions of women are desperately unhappy—and many are hard-pressed to actually define the word “woman.” There is no happiness in an ideology that foments narcissism, self-absorption, and isolation from the basic cell of civilization: the family. Only a deeply confused culture would seek to replace the word mother with “birthing person” or breastfeeding with “chest-feeding.” The fly-over woman understands her womanhood and motherhood deep in her bones and doesn’t see maleness as a goal to achieve or person to conquer. She knows she needs men. She knows, as women have for millennia, that being a woman is synonymous with carrying something. ...There are a lot of fly-over women out here. Many of us feel alone, overwhelmed, exhausted, and unseen. But we will continue to raise our families as best we can, however imperfectly, navigating the constant messaging and policies out of step with our own values and beliefs, because we know that without strong families, what’s left of civilization will collapse overnight.

Although this is in the first paragraph, it bears repeating; "Ironically, whether they know it or not, feminists’ unspoken premise insists men are superior to women and women must become like them in the pursuit of equality. Therefore, to be equal, women must be able to eliminate the consequences of sex, like men, and rid themselves of unborn children through unrestricted abortion." Misogyny is part and parcel of radical feminism. If it were not, NOW would leading women students marching across every college campus denouncing men who are appropriating their sex, in order to achieve status in sports and scholarships they cannot earn competing against other men. While blackface has been limited to entertainment and bad-taste costumes, "transsexuals" are stealing rights and honors due to womanhood and the meaning of being a woman. If blackface is offensive to bLACKS, when nothing is materially is taken from them, then how is a man pretending to be a women not also offensive when women are being materially hurt and damaged? Fifty years ago the radical feminists adopted the philosophy of a hedonistic man, Larry Lader, who promoted abortion because it freed men from their responsibilities. He seduced Betty Friedan (apologies for the mental image) into believing that abortion would be "empowering" for women. Betty packed the 2nd NOW convention with students from the eastern women's colleges and late one night brought forward the pro-abortion plank. The college vote overwhelmed the old-line feminists who were blindsided by the surprise. Over one-third walked out and away from NOW. Many of those women went on to found pro-life groups, such as the March for Life. For a fascinating history of how abortion was mainstreamed into America, including the background of the Roe decision, a must read is "Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women's Movement" by Sue Ellen Browder.

These women are The Normals. One of the great lines (of many) in the article..... "They carry children in their wombs, their arms, their hearts, their minds." Yes, and they love them, and don't murder them like the leftists do. That's a huge, immense difference. The difference between human and inhumane, normal and abnormal.

If you know of anything good about feminism, you my wish to to find a good psychologist.

The problem with pop culture, is pop culture. It's portrayed as mainstream, but it's has all the lasting effect of passing gas in the wind.

This made me tear up.

This article’s writer correctly describes flyover country as being between Hawaii and Maine. My children (and grandchldren and great-grandchildren) are the best things I’ve ever done. No other career than motherhood - and I was forced by circumstances to have a few - ever brought he pride, the joy, the contentment, the feeling of real accomplishment than those little (now big) people have brought over the years. So flyovr country women can be found in every state in our wonderful Union. It’s not the geography. It’s the values, the character.

The disorienting effects the Marxist movement had on the path to womanhood for women born in the 10 years after WWII was enormous. Good girls didn’t….but they were saps and everyone knew strong independent heroic women did. When a cute boy wanted it the bold self-actualized thing to do was go ahead despite the inner knowledge that it just wasn’t right. When a baby was conceived despite birth control the girl was alone except for her buddies at Planned Parenthood who never laid eyes on her before and wouldn’t again once the abortion was completed. She didn’t tell her mom or her friends because of the shame. She carried the pain alone. Women are still being pulled in all directions like rubber bands to be self-absorbed, hip, modern and licentious while feeling angry, lost and alone. Until the day comes that they realize they’ve been manipulated and angered over a dopey philosophy by a 19th century wastrel and ne’er-do-well who ignored and disdained his own wife and kids and left them for others to take care of.

Another great American stands up to be counted.

#9 The same goes for the Baby Boomer women who got pregnant and were forced to give their babies over for adoption. ("The Girls Who Went Away" by Ann Fessler." It is known as the Baby Scoop Era. Gen-X adoptees are just now coming to terms with that era and how it has affected them. Feminism has another dirty secret in that regard as well.

A perfect example of the condescending, self-righteous, ignorant and woke feminists is the D.C. public defender who graciously "educated" the D.C. protester grandmother who was the first to be sentenced for the crime of "parading" on the Capitol grounds. Didn't know that was a crime, since politicians and leftists are forever parading about on our Capitol grounds. Flyover women are not ignorant hillbillies waiting to be educated by the woke. Those of us who work for a living and have children know more about life than these liberal and woke morons ever will. Too bad we can't sentence them to live and work amonst us for a year or two, and see how most of America lives. I doubt, however, that we could put up with their insufferable arrogance and ignorance.
