Dear Liberal Women:
I know you many of you feel devastated right now. Once you are done cutting your hair off, plotting your 4B movements, and catastrophizing your loss of rights, I hope you will take this letter in the spirit of sincerity with which I write it.
Do not blame men for the Harris / Walz loss. Do not blame the patriarchy. Do not blame Trump. Do not blame toxic masculinity, racism, sexism, or any other -ism or phobia.
Look in the mirror. It’s time to get very, very honest. Ask yourself what you really want out of life and if the choices you have made up until now have helped you achieve those things.
Are you fulfilled in your marriage or personal relationships? Do you value life and beauty over death and decay? You say you care and have compassion but do those feelings extend into action or are they simply something you project through a sign on a lawn or from behind a computer screen?
It’s time to stop this power struggle with men. They are not the enemy. When you stop trying to exert force and insisting the world would be better if women ran it (which is patently false), you will find that they want to protect you and take care of you. It is their greatest honor.
That is not a bad thing. Submission is not weakness; it is surrender of the heart that opens us up to love and tenderness. Have some men abused that? Of course. But how have we given them a green light to disrespect us with our “Sex and the City, I don’t need a man, I’m an empowered women” sexual freedom act? We started acting like men, so they started treating us like men.
Stop giving your body away like it’s a free car episode of Oprah and remember it is something divine and sacred and deservers to be treated as such, as does every life. It’s odd that it took a Trump victory for you to abstain from having sex with men who don’t respect you.
Furthermore, have you considered that maybe, just maybe, you have been lied to?
That Donald Trump is not Hitler? That he is neither a racist nor a rapist? Sure, he may not be the most polished, couth man, and his sexual dalliances are not to be praised, but he is definitely not who the media has portrayed him to be and millions - over half of the people you still share a country with – understood that. Maybe ask why you didn’t. Unless of course you are a celebrity who has promised to leave the country, in which case, bon voyage.
Women, you’ve been played. I started to figure that out about four years ago. That everything the progressive left and my “spiritually ascendant” tribe told me was bullshit.
I’ve been trying to sound the alarm and help you understand that you don’t need to hate men - even the off-color ones - to feel strong and capable. Your power lies in embracing being a woman and all that comes with it. We are not men and we should not want to be. Nor should you want your daughters to be them so enough with the transgender contagion. No one is born in the wrong body. It is a cry for help, so do what you can to properly guide them to truth.
Once you are done mourning, know that the world will indeed be safer for you and your daughters. WWIII will likely be staved off. More criminals will likely end up where they should - either behind bars or out of the country.
You will still be able to get abortions. You will still be able to vote. You can go to college, buy a house and a car, and, as I've seen some women flaunt, spend all the extra money you have from not having children on clothing and other luxury items.
No one is going to the gulags.
You are not oppressed. You can stop fighting. The battle has, for the most part, been won. (Congratulations to Susie Wiles, the first woman Chief of Staff!)
Turn your energy toward building a beautiful life for yourself and your family.
It is my fervent prayer that you start looking at the world – and this country – through a lens of gratitude and a spirit of curiosity. We are not perfect. No human is. But it is not the job of the government to take care of us and lift us up. It is our job and that of our communities. Seek to understand instead of blame.
As a former liberal woman, I promise you there is nothing more freeing than yoking yourself to God and allowing him to change your heart. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it.
With Love,
JG
