Why Are Leftist Ideas So Destructive?

            Leftists, as well as their ideas and policies, are destructive. It seems that everything they touch is destroyed. One example is the Boy Scouts of America. The BSA was good for boys and helped to turn them into honest, God-fearing men. My two sons are Eagle Scouts and are better men because they associated with other members of the BSA. Another example is the educational system from kindergarten through university. Other examples include sports, the arts, and science.

According to Dennis Prager, “nowhere is this damage more evident or tragic than with regard to women.” He then proceeded to give five examples where leftist ideology has destroyed the nature of women. 

Prager’s first example is a woman’s “desire to bond with a man.” Women from the time of Eve have desired to bond with men. Prager claimed that “it is a fact that women desiring a man was virtually universal” until modern left-wing feminism came along.

Prager’s second example is a woman’s “desire to marry.” He stated, “Along with wanting a man, the vast majority of women wanted to marry. It was assumed that wanting that public commitment to and from a man was part of female nature. Yet, the left has successfully undone that part of women’s nature, too.” He gave two reasons why a smaller percentage of women marrying causes a problem:    (1) "This has serious social consequences. We have long known that single men perpetrate most of the violent crime in society…. The most obvious problem is that women who have children without ever marrying their children’s father – or another man – produce a highly disproportionate percentage of social misfits.” (2) Another societal problem that is caused by women who never marry is that “They are more likely to be angry and to express that anger in support of radical causes that undermine society.”

Prager’s third example is a woman’s “desire to have children.” The desire to have children was considered to be part of a woman’s nature, possibly even stronger than the desires to bond with a man and to get married. “Yet, incredibly, leftist ideology is even succeeding in eliminating that part of women’s makeup. More women than ever before – abroad as well as in America – are choosing not to have children.”

Prager’s fourth example is a woman’s “desire to have sex with commitment.” The nature of women is to have sex with a man with whom she has emotional ties. “Left-wing feminist ideology has even been able to undermine that. Three generations of American women have been indoctrinated into believing that their sexual nature is the same as that of a man.” He continued his explanation: “Therefore, she can have ‘hookups,’ i.e., non-emotional, noncommittal sex, just like man can with no emotional fallout. And so, many young women do. But a far greater percentage of them experience regret or even depression than do young men who engage in ‘hookup’ sex, a form of sex that is indeed part of male nature.”

Prager’s last example is a woman’s “desire to protect children’s innocence.” “Perhaps the most amazing thing progressive ideology has done to women is to subvert the innate female desire to protect children; specifically, children’s sexual innocence.” He continued, “The movement to teach very young children about sex, about ‘gender fluidity,’ expose them to ‘Drag Queen Story Hours,’ etc., is overwhelmingly led by and composed of women…. One inevitable result is a generation of more depressed young women and more regretful middle-aged women than ever before in American history.”

            I have watched as the nature of women has changed, and I could not understand how women could change their natural desires to marry and have children. Prager’s explanations make it clear to my mind why women have changed and continue to change. Do you agree with Prager? Do you believe that these five changes in the nature of women come from the ideology of the progressive left? 

           It is my belief that the ideology of the progressive left is a tool in the hands of Satan who is seeking to destroy the natural family. The family is the basic unit of society, and its foundation is a marriage between a man and a woman. Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God for the eternal happiness of all His children. However, I agree with Prager in that the “left ruins everything it touches.”
