Horror stories from Anthony Esolen at Mere Comments. He concludes:

A word to the Modern American Woman, if I may.  Do you think you might take a little time out from smashing The Citadel, emasculating the YMCA, preaching the damnable lie that kids without their fathers will be fine, just fine, holding your families hostage to your own fulfillment, infantilizing schools and churches and helping to pave (along with a road crew from Gehenna) that great broad highway that brings Washington right into every living room and kitchen in the country — do you think, I say, that you might take a break playing Evita Peron to teach your daughters to be decent women?  I can deal with the boys — if y’all would occasionally, just occasionally, clear out of the way.  You deal with the girls.  That, after all, is your business: "Older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the guidance of their husbands, that the word of God may not be discredited" (Tt. 2:3-5).  Could you kindly mind that business, so that before I die I may be able to read the love poetry of Spenser and Dante and not think that I have been deposited on the wrong planet?
