vox: shedding more light where it's needed

In recent months I haven't been very diligent in keeping up with Vox Day's articles. But judging from this one I need to start. Another great article...man, it sure is nice to have a columnist out there who's not only intelligent but unafraid to state the obvious and not hold back. Some quotes stood out to me...

When women began to enter the work force en masse in the latter half of the 20th century, the overall supply of labor increased, obviously. As per the iron law of supply and demand, over the last 60 years, this increase in supply has somewhat outstripped the growth in the economy and the attendant demand for labor, which is why real wages are still lower in 2005 than in 1973. Combined with the ever-increasing tax burden, this decline in real wages is why both husband and wife must now work when previously the husband's labor alone would have sufficed.

That's just obvious. Basic supply and demand says that an increase in the number of available workers implies a decrease in the wages paid to those workers. Holds for women entering the work force then, holds for uncontrolled immigration and cheap overseas labor today. So of course wages went down when the influx of women into the working world greatly increased the available labor supply. Duh...yet so many people will never understand or will refuse to admit this.

The women of America would do well to consider whether their much-cherished gains of the right to vote, work, murder and freely fornicate are worth destroying marriage, children, civilized Western society and little girls. They can at least console themselves with the thought that, in the long run, it doesn't matter what they do, because the women's-rights ideology is an evolutionary dead end, and it is increasingly apparent that societies embracing it will not survive.

In the end, it's not that hard to understand. A little girl who is not born will never vote, work or raise a little girl of her own.

Yup, it really is that simple. Methinks this is obvious and the problem is that people in general, both men and women, are too attached to the supposed freedom and liberation of the culture of death to do what they know (on some level) is best for them. It's much the same as us often refusing to acknowledge sin in our own lives and turn from the immoral behavior we love so much, just on a much greater scale. Scripture clearly states that if we continue in our own wicked ways we will die. Likewise for a society.

Preach on, brother Vox.

"Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." James 1:15
