[The Cultural Devastation of American Women by Nancy Levant]

This is The Rude Guy. Rich Zubaty. [RG voice] The 3000 pound mosquito of LOVE. Wiggling worm on the Wheel of Karma. Escapee from political feminism. [RZ voice]Welcoming you back to the Reality Cult, the Toolbox of Truth, where we hammer together a future, made out of ideas, not people… Ideas. Not ideologies, not opinions… Ideas.

This show’s gonna be a book report, on the book, by Nancy Levant called: The Cultural Devastation of American Women: (subtitled) the strange and frightening decline of the American female (RG voice: and her DREADful timing)

Nancy Levant is an American. I never heard of her, or her book, before I ran across it at the home of my friend Martin Harvey, in Cambridge England. It was sitting on his bookshelf, right next to two of my own books… so I plucked it right down. Thank GOODness for amazon.co.uk.

Nancy Levant’s a mother and grandmother. But more importantly, she has been a daycare provider in her home, in Michigan, for 13 years. And out of the mouths of her daycare children, and through the attitudes and actions of their mothers, did Nancy Levant come to be reVOLTed by modern American women.

I’m going to do little more than quote from her book, and take an occasional pot shot, from the hip. But it’s clear to me that if I, as a man, said the things I am about to READ to you, from HER book, someone would put plutonium in my soup.

So here we go.

Page 19… Concerning food:

Meals are leaving the consciousness of the American female. Half of the children I have cared for, over the past 13 years, were either underfed… or overfed on drive-thru food… HALF!!! I have seen hundreds of children who have never eaten vegetables, and hundreds more who eat pizza, Taco Bell, McDonalds, or macaroni and cheese, every… single… night. They are bundled through the door with baggies of the previous night’s COLD fries, and chips, and Cheetos and M&Ms. I have seen one hundred pound 4-year-olds, and 25 pound 4-year-olds. I’ve had babies and toddlers vomit apple juice and milk, because they only drink carbonated soda. I’ve seen kids who beg for food the INSTANT their parents leave my house. Nowadays the best case scenario is if they arrive at my house having eaten cold cereal. Bacon? Eggs? Oatmeal? Forget it. Soups and sandwiches, and fruits for lunch? No way. Mom’s not around for lunch. She’s at work, or in school, or spa-ing.

Sez me: The modern female battle cry of “I don’t cook!” is easily extrapolated into: “And my kids don’t eat properly.”

Sez Nancy Levant: There are a lot of mothers out there who starve their kids – a lot of them!

Poorly fed children not only CAN’t learn, but won’t. Their brains want to rest and shut off… coast. How do I explain this to college educated career moms???? HOW?

P 32: Concerning DAD:

Here’s what Nancy’s day care kids have to say about dad:

“My dad’s stupid.”
“My dad doesn’t like to be with us.”
“My dad doesn’t like it at home.”
“My dad is a control freak.”
“My dad wants to STEAL me.”
“I’m not allowed to talk to dad when he’s working.”
“I’m not allowed to talk to dad when he’s watching TV.”
“Dad never does anything.”
“I don’t know what dad does.”
“Dad never talks to mom.”
“Dad likes his car better than us.”
“Dad never takes me anywhere.”
“Dad doesn’t like to sit with mom.”
“Dad likes his computer more than mom.”

Sez Nancy Levant: Do you think three, four and five year olds come up with this on their own?… or do you think they HEARD this from someone? (more…)
