El ministerio de los hombres, el dinero de los hombres, los programas de construcci�n, de los hombres - estas fueron las �reas de importancia. Mary Pride The Way Home [1] The Way Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality by Mary Pride pg. xii � xiii� The sad truth is that the �traditional� role which feminists attacked in the fifties had already lost its scriptural fullness. Christian women were staying home out of habit, not out of conviction [this emphasis is mine]. Women had been robbed of their role, even thought they were �in their place.� And they were robbed by the church. The Christian churches in this country had actually paved the way for feminism to succeed, even as preachers orated about the sanctity of motherhood! Denominations endorsed family planning and �therapeutic abortion.� Church meetings were scheduled for every-night of the week, giving out a clear message that family life was unimportant. Ministry was considered more worthwhile than motherhood, as missionaries were expected to leave their children in boarding schools as a matter of course. Church life centered on the church building, not the home. �

6. La Maternidad es Tiempo Perdido �La idea de que el tiempo llevado con los ni�os es tiempo perdido est� grabado en piedra en el pensamiento econ�mico tradicional... Los talentos extraordinarios requeridos para hacer la obra a largo plazo de formar el car�cter humano y de infundir en los ni�os j�venes la habilidad y el deseo de aprender no tiene lugar dentro de los c�lculos de los economistas.
