Every feminist in America needs to go read Echidne's post on (ugh!) Quiverfull families. First, however, every feminist in America needs to have a good, stiff drink. I'm just saying.

Lots of interesting debate about what happens to the kids of fundamentalists. I'm living proof that not only can fundies not guarantee that their kids will follow them, raising an intelligent person of either gender (but most particularly female) fundamentalist is pretty much a lock to turn her liberal. You can only get so far as a person inclined to question things without realizing that very little of what's being fed to you makes any damn sense at all.
Okay, folks. Let's breed lots and lots of fundies. Because fundies are the only true believers of the only true religion and as such should control government on earth through their superior moral values.
Okay, folks. Let's breed lots and lots of blonde Aryans. Because Aryans are the Master Race and should control government on earth through their superior intelligence and values.
So the message is tweaked a little. Still sounds the same to me. Sig Heil!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
