    Fathers and Mothers ..... Complementary Roles
    [feminist myths]

    God created mankind in His own image: "male and female He created them and blessed them and said to them 'be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth'".

    (False) assumptions: the first is that there are no mental or psychological differences between the sexes.

    The second feminist myth is that females are an oppressed or disadvantaged group.

    The feminist movement has launched a continuous attack on his work ("Maternal Care and Mental Health") - their objective is to somehow prove that infants do just as well when cared for by strangers in child care centres as do infants cared for by their mothers.

    The health benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and child are well known.

    The politically correct policy lobbied for by feminists and the social-sciences establishment and subsidized by western governments, is long day care where infants will be cared for by strangers while their mothers are in the paid workforce.

    Children also need their fathers.

      Silverstein's and Auerbach's attack on the traditional family...

    All the available hard statistical data in regard to emotional and social stability, and educational and employment outcomes, indicate that children do best in a married two-parent family, and that they are at risk in alternative settings, particularly in a household where the adult male is not their biological father.

    The androgynous view of humanity espoused by Silverstein and her colleagues is being implemented at the United Nations level through Treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which calls for the elimination of "stereotyped", i.e. the traditional roles of men and women, and demands that this be achieved through education and changes in textbooks.

    UN Conferences are currently dominated by groups opposed to faith and family.

    I'll conclude by showing a few overheads.
