CFW - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) This page will provide some answers to the questions that are most
frequently asked of the CFW. When you study the answers, please study the
questions too, as they reveal the muddled thinking that is becoming more
prevalent in today's unbalanced society. Q. Is this an organisation for men only? Is this an organisation
for women only? A. No, our membership is composed of nearly equal numbers of men
and women. Q. You're too late, aren't you? Feminism is the order of the day
in the A. Firstly, the CFW, in its original incarnation as the Campaign
for the Feminine Woman, and subsequently as the charitable organisation
Concern for Family and Womanhood, has been broadcasting its message since
1979. Secondly, our studies have shown that feminism is supported only by a
minority in the Q. I'm a man,
feminism doesn't affect me, does it? A. Yes, it does. Your rights are gradually being whittled away
as the politicians give in time and again to the vociferous feminist
minority, and introduce measures to tax the working man more heavily and to use
those taxes to support more women. The typical married, working man in
today's society has significantly less earning power than before, making it
more difficult for him to support his family. In many cases, economic
circumstances now force women to go out to work even when this is against
their and their husband's wishes. This means that more people are competing
for the same job vacancies and the result is that unfortunately there are
families where no one has paid employment. A stable and prosperous society
such as the Q. Are you saying women shouldn't have an equal chance to get a
job? A. We don't think it is right that married women should be in
employment outside the home, when there is already a breadwinner, their
husband, in the family. Many women who are wives and mothers want to follow
their natural vocation and bring up their children as only a mother can, but
are (unfairly) being denied the opportunity to do so. Who cares about these
women? Not the government. Who will support them in achieving their aims? Not
the government. Who cares about the children, who are surely better off
spending their formative years with their natural mother if at all possible?
Not the government. The feminist element in society is pressurising women to
abandon their children during the day and to go out to work, as if a woman
were useless unless she was earning money. Even worse, this is what many of
our children are learning as a normal situation, which they will pass on to
their own children in time. Children are seeing less and less of a normal
(traditional) family life - the long term effect is that the family unit will
be severely weakened and we will become a nation of loners, out for
ourselves, without respect for other people (even our own family members!).
As for single women, we believe that they should have equal opportunity for
jobs, providing they can give equal performance. Q. I'm a woman,
surely it's my right to do what I want with my life? A. Oh, really? If you are married, you need to consider your duties and responsibilities to your family (even if you have no children). In a traditional, Christian marriage, the man accepts the position of head of the family and assumes the responsibilities for that position. This means that he is no longer free to do exactly what he likes because it is his duty to put consideration for his wife and family above his own personal wishes. A true husband does not behave as some sort of dictator, forcing his family to do what he wants all the time. A true husband has to perform a balancing act between the various, sometimes conflicting, wishes of each of the family members (himself included) and steer the family in the correct direction. Christian families receive this direction from God's word, their spiritual guide. The map that they follow is available now, in all good bookshops. It's called the Bible. It also explains that a woman who is married has responsibilities and duties too, which increase when children are added to the family. So you're not a free spirit. Sorry. |
