Nigel Farage’s checkered past in British politics likely reflects shifting sentiments in the population as voters “grow older and wiser” rather than changes in his core beliefs and policies.
Feminism lied??? Oh, did it ever! My son said to me recently that his generation has been fed a MAJOR LIE all along. The pain and upset of the sexual revolution is one thing, but also the push towards finding fulfillment in careers, status and assets. Holding off marriage until your education is complete and you have traveled the world. It did sound like a recipe for success. We now seem to have a large number of well educated, well traveled and well off financially lonely and childless SUCCESS stories. My crime was to smooth the path for my sons too often, not allowing for the necessary struggle. I thought I was HELPING. I now am beginning to recognize it is in the struggle and pain that you find growth, maturity and beauty! I'm afraid in our CARING for our own children, or any so called disadvantaged group has convinced many they are helpless victims. It turns out the CARING classes (and parents) could very well be the problem causes, but wrap themselves in the CLOAK OF HELPING. And sadly, largely led by women.
You share the views of my wife, a former public school teacher, vice-principal and principal who says that the “Baby on Board” stickers seen on the cars of Boomers was the first sign that children were being raised by overly protective parents - especially those who had only one child. I am happy to have been raised by parents who had no money and five children. They had neither the time or money to coddle each of us leaving a family atmosphere that was relatively unstructured, and even chaotic at times. Each child had to become responsible for themselves and resourceful in the process.
