"It's all about you." "Macy's: more you." "Mervins starts with me." Slogans like these were created with one gender in mind: women. Few people use the word "vanity" any more. Women, specifically "soccer moms", have replaced it with "self esteem". Self esteem is a somewhat hidden form of power and domination. Perhaps the largest effect our modern Matriarchal society has had on our country is its effect on "children" (currently anyone under 18).

The book Keeping Kids Safe by K. L. Wheatley outlines ways to protect children from being abducted, touched inappropriately, learning about sex, etc. The book was written by a mother for mothers. If any man wants to understand how many women think, this is the book for him, as it conveys the way "soccer moms" think quite well. "Child Safety" is the reason mothers love SUVs. It's as much about the level of power and security the woman feels for herself as it is about protecting her offspring. It's all about her. Company slogans didn't create that idea. They merely reinforced it. Many women feel powerless, so they crave power. However, women are not like men with power. Most women lack reason and logic. It comes down to intuition and feelings, which inevitably leads to abuse of the power. "Women can do anything men can do, only better." Argue with that and you'll be charged with sexual harassment, even though that in itself is a show of female weakness and vulnerability. Yet, it's a false show because the process actually empowers women to dominate over men, their greatest rivals to power.

The majority of "soccer moms" in the US are white and the majority of white women are physically attracted to prepubescent children (a number vastly larger than that of men). Yet, these exact same women created the hysteria surrounding men with their same "mothering" and nurturing feelings. Once again, it has given women even greater power over men. However, men, because of emotional control, are able to deal with this. Yet, were restrictions to be placed on females as there are now on males, it would frustrate these women to no end. Many of them would undoubtedly end up killing children. They wouldn't tolerate it at all and would fight for their right to touch children. It's not just about "being around" children but liking how children look (being attracted to universal forms of "cuteness" and an arousal to beauty) and wanting to touch them, cuddle them, and comfort them. It's biology and to fight it would be futile. Yet, in the effort to keep children for themselves, women have required men to do just that.

Keeping Kids Safe teaches mothers: "Explain to your children that their bodies belong to them, and they have the right to say 'NO!'" In the illustration, the boy says, "I don't want my uncle to tickle me and kiss me anymore. It feels kind of creepy." Of course, if the child felt that way about his mother and vocalized his feelings, she would say, "but Mommy's touch is good." When she's talking with a counselor about what might be wrong with her child to make him feel this way, she would justify herself, saying, "I have every right to show him affection. He'll grow up to be cold and heartless. He's mine." Yet, "mine" implies ownership. It's very different from "my uncle" or "my brother". You don't own either of them. Yet, being a mother, she is endowed with a sacred (one way) "bond". It's not a matter of her feeling that she has earned this, but that the simple act of birthing the child bestows her with ownership. Now what if the child wanted the affection? The right to say "yes" is never once mentioned. It implies that adults will lather on unwanted affection until the child speaks up. It's because that's what mothers do and how they think. If a child shows someone else more affection than he does her, she will say, "My child is being too affectionate." Between her and her son, it "just feels right," but anyone else, "it makes me feel uncomfortable." If the child is showing a man more affection, the mother becomes angry and afraid. With another women, it's pure jealousy. They want what's theirs and their children's bodies belong to them.

The book claims: "Your children must know that they are special." Yet, special implies that they are different from others. What makes them special? Either she's deceiving her kids, or her children are special precisely because they are her children. That, of course, implies that it's the mother herself who is special. "Don't your kids deserve the best?"

If a mother allows her children and teenagers to use the internet, the book reminds her: "Spend time with your children when they are online. Monitor the websites your child views." The number one danger on the internet is listed in the book as: "children viewing sexual materials." After all, the only sexuality they should know is the "affection" she shows them. The only understandable danger, meeting someone from the net in real life, is barely mentioned. Emphasis is instead put on monitoring their conversations and web activity. Preventing knowledge of sex before the parent is ready is their primary concern. However, all the restrictions listed in this chapter don't allow children freedom of thought. All information must be screened by the mother. This teaches the children not to be open minded. It's because she believes that knowledge corrupts. After all, knowledge of good and evil is a sin and she envisions children as perfect and innocence (despite what the Bible says). Even the brattiest child could not convince her otherwise. She loves the movie E.T. and all the other child idolizing movies that it spawned in the '80s (created by and intended for lovers of boys). Yet, people who say children are innocent have forgotten what childhood was like. They see young, little things, but they don't remember what it is to be young. Children see other children the way adults see other adults. There are jerks, talkative people, and shy people. Most are complicated, but a few are sweet, just like adults. Yet, Matriarchal society tells children they are innocent and so they have no choice but to either believe them or go insane thinking, "Everyone's wrong but me. Only I know the truth." Mothers spend a lot of time brainwashing children instead of allowing them to grow up to be free thinkers. Soccer Moms will often say, "I won't let my kids eat red meat. I want them to know it's bad." What they should instead be doing is explaining what makes it bad. Teaching kids to blindly follow your lead sets them up for a culture that loves to own people's thoughts. Even the book says: "Listen to your child, assuring them that their feelings are both extremely important and never wrong." Yet, in reality, adults only listen to children when they ell them what they want to hear. Otherwise they try to convince the child that his feelings aren't true. the mother asks, "Don't you feel ____?" "No," the child responds. "Yes you do," comes the mother's response. "You feel ____, don't you?"

"Make sure your children know it is not safe to converse with anyone they don't know well." "Teach your children never to talk to casual acquaintances when parents are not present." Even up into High School, the book still stresses "safety", telling mothers to "get involved" in the school and to "make it clear that no one else, under any circumstances, is allowed to pick them up without your written authorization." Throughout the book, children are discouraged from making friends and even getting rids from or being around friends they already have. "Teach your children to always check with you before going anywhere with anyone" and "to report to you immediately any suspicious persons." "Never leave your children unattended, especially when they are outside playing." For single mothers who let their children see their fathers, "remind the child they may spend time with the other parent, but they belong with you." "Make sure your children understand how important it is to tell you if anyone makes them feel uncomfortable." The book is all about parental involvement and mother control. Yet, all this "protection" and sheltering is actually counterproductive because, as much as the mother wants to be, she won't always be there. And finally, at the risk of exposing the hypocrisy of the "me" way of thinking, I'll end with one last instruction for mothers from Keeping Kids Safe: "Start making a personal commitment to keep all children safe." "When should you report suspicions to authorities? Trust your instincts for any family situations that do not seem right." And a sign to watch for: The child "may have an overprotective parent who keeps close tabs on their child's activities and friends."
