Why American Mothers Are Superior

The image of America’s mothers is a powerful one the world over. From the twinkle in Martha Washington’s eye to the idyllic 1950s masters of domesticity, the United States has long given the women of our fellow nations something to aspire to. Yet, in a surprising show of questionable reportage, the Wall Street Journal believes otherwise. In a recent article entitled, “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” Yale University instructor Amy Chua makes the case that communist China’s emphasis on math and piano training is producing a generation of children better equipped for our tumultuous future. Sadly, her ill-advised tirade is rife with factual errors, undisclosed personal biases and gross incomprehensions of human psychology.
The good news is that a heartfelt analysis of the American institution of motherhood proves that Chua’s outrageous claims fall flat in every regard. What the Ivy Tower legal author fails to understand is that faith, namely the Christian faith, has given our children an incredible set of mental tools that the youth of an atheistic dictator state can barely comprehend. Christianity teaches our children to love and aspire, dream and conquer! It is the most wondrous gift an adult can give a young one. You are quite simply passing along the keys to the Pearly Gates, to an afterlife of perfection and God! Even further, the Bible makes our younger generation smarter and happier by training them to deal with complex social problems, from the dangers of illicit lifestyles to the glories of a politically active faith community bonding in condemnation of the worst indulgences of a liberal society run amuck.
On any given day a Chinese child will be denied many things that an American mother would encourage her kids to experience, such as:
- Learning U.S. history firsthand from a military veteran
- Competing in a rough and tumble football game
- Leading a school group in prayer
- Raising money to fight the homeless
- Starting a business (be it a front lawn lemonade stand or a website company)
Chua attempts to argue that the indomitable willpower of the militant Asian mothers, never bending or praising, always picking, picking and picking some more, forces children to strive to great heights. Yet while Chinese mothers employ a straightforward condemnation approach, many American mothers have advanced to a higher level of psychological manipulation, mixing praise with indifference, passive-aggressive meddling with outright bribery. So-called “Jewish Guilt” has come up as a topic of discussion across the internet, but there is a great deal of evidence that Christian Guilt is, in fact, superior. Notwithstanding, both happen to be American institutions that far surpass the most sophisticated inventions of Chinese maternal shame. Our motherly love succeeds because it instills a profound warning that stays with men and women throughout their lives. It is a warning that they can continue to disappoint even into adulthood, even after their own parents are dead, and that the damnation of hell in the afterlife is not implausible considering their grievous faults.
Athletics is another glaring oversight in the Wall Street Journal report. Many Asians are biased against sports and afraid to play them. The article reveals that these mothers actively discourage any sort of male on male physical interaction. Yet in the United States games are understood to be an important part of the socialization of any child, no matter how physically inept. Raw competition out on a field teaches young men to run and jump, to force themselves through a zesty pack of big-legged soccer players. It reveals the joys of victory, the fraternal excitement when you grab that trophy with your mates, laughing and cheering all the way back to the locker room for an intensely hot shower, all those aches in your muscles released down the drain in a supple froth of soap as you stand shoulder to shoulder with the boys you will watch grow into solid, admirable men, men you will look up to, dreaming, hoping, hoping for all the great things that this great nation can achieve!
Even in defeat sports can teach us something. It humbles us and humility is another essential element to being an American. We learn that no matter how much we pray and hope, becoming an NFL quarterback is not guaranteed. We learn that success is a blessing and that sometimes there are those of us that the higher powers have chosen not to bless with big league success for reasons we will never understand. Human beings must always be cognizant that there is something greater than our small day to day lives, namely God our Father. But humility is not something the Chinese know. They want to claim the title of greatest in everything, even though they consistently fail to triumph in sports. How can a people who have no world championship basketball, hockey or football teams truly respect themselves? No matter, those perfect SAT scores give them egos big enough to blot out the sun!
Let’s take the example of mother Sarah Palin. She represents so many of the achievements of our homegrown moms, it’s hard to know where to begin. She is the voice of reason in her household, even setting an example for husband Todd. She has an unconditional love for her children, supporting them through all sorts of gossip column tragedies. She is profoundly inspiring, showing us that a woman can juggle a Down Syndrome child and running for the highest office in the land. Who would ever forsake one of Palin’s home cooked meals? Can you dream of how well she keeps her house and washes her family’s clothes? An inspiration, a leader, a loving human being and a mother: you would be hard pressed to locate any comparable Chinese or communist woman.
Here’s another example: Jonathan was a hearty child of America’s heartland. With a muffin top of hair and a sly grin, he might have made quite a ladies man. With a place on the junior varsity football team, he was certainly learning a thing or two about competition and social strategy. Yet Jonathan had an acne problem and might have gained some weight over the summer. His mother, bitter at Dad’s failure to become a millionaire industrialist and move her to a mansion in New Orleans, took to harassing her son about his looks between her gulps of apple brandy. “Pizza! We’re having pizza face tonight!” she would shout when he appeared with a fresh pimple breakout. Once, when she was severely intoxicated she added a “2” to his football jersey in permanent marker, making it appear as if his number was “276.” When pressed for an explanation, she shouted “Just thought your teammates should know how much you weigh, blubber boy.”
The truth is that this woman had no interest in sports and no interest in pushing her son to achieve anything. She just had a compulsive need to attack and harass. This mixture of cruel wit and familial indifference is certainly an American trait, albeit not the most admirable one. Yet she was a woman, a mother and a patriotic citizen deep inside. In many ways, she embraced a libertarian freedom when expressing herself. She was free to attack anyone loudly, from the neighbors who grew a tree too close to the property line to the corrupt Washington insiders intent on raising the “sin tax.“ Do the Chinese enjoy such freedom? I think not.
Fortunately, this young Jonathan grew up in a Christian household and even though his grim father would laugh at mother’s antics, he still held out the saving grace of spirituality for his son to witness. As the boy grew older, he began to see that Jesus Christ was the answer to his personal problems. It enraged mother but somehow it only pushed him deeper into a life of evangelical faith. With his failures constantly laid out in excruciating detail by a verbose, drunken mother, he suffered from monumental guilt. He knew in some ways she was right, that he would never be a football star or marry a beauty queen. He knew that people laughed at him, that some doubted his intellect.
In life, we cannot always triumph in the areas we desire so Jonathan turned to Jesus’s embrace and found victory there! He found a community that accepted him for who he was, who listened to him and even grew to respect his opinions on matters of society and culture. He found an outlet for the sticky tidal wave of passion he had bottled up inside, typing out his strongest ideas for people to delight in. And yes, he still visits his dear old mother and mother still holds tight to that bottle but during those moments when she berates him he silently thanks her, he thanks her for the bodily assaults and the psychological trauma for it has made him strong! She has forced him to be a giant in his mind who might repeat her crudest insults late at night in the bathroom mirror because they remind him he will outlive her and that there is a place in Heaven for the goodly of this earth. America’s mothers! What would we have become without them?

//Sadly, her ill-advised tirade is rife with factual errors, undisclosed personal biases and gross incomprehensions of human psychology. //
If having a bias prevents one from being right, then you’re wrong. Logic is logic Stevie, follow it or else you’ll be going full retard for the rest of your life.
//What the Ivy Tower legal author fails to understand is that faith, namely the Christian faith, has given our children an incredible set of mental tools that the youth of an atheistic dictator state can barely comprehend. //
What makes faith so special? Isn’t Christ all about being humble? Are you seriously implying that only those of Christian faith are worth a dime in today’s society, even with the amount of controversy surrounding religion, just on the inside?
//Christianity teaches our children to love and aspire, dream and conquer! //
As well as tell people that you’re better than them, simply because you kiss Christ’s ass even though he’d be against all of that, right? Oh, and it gives you free reign to dictate people and tell them how they should live their life according to your will, and how people can be sub-human and should kiss your ass and how the term ‘equality’ means nothing and is a product of Satan, right?
//On any given day a Chinese child will be denied many things that an American mother would encourage her kids to experience, such as:
- Learning U.S. history firsthand from a military veteran//
Don’t they learn Chinese history firsthand from a military veteran who’s, ya know, Chinese, as per the regular business of schools? Why should a Chinese kid learn about U.S. history?
//- Competing in a rough and tumble football game/
How does that accomplish anything? What good does football do in the grand scheme of things? And who’s to say that they don’t play football over there as well? Various other countries have American-style football, so it’s not a stretch to say that they don’t play it as well (or rather, the rest of the world’s version of football being soccer, which I’m fairly sure they have over there as well)
//- Leading a school group in prayer//
Only religious schools have that, because quite frankly, I’d be insulted that my freedom of religion was being trampled on by a group that forced me to participate in their activity if the place was public. You assume that without your version of what the Christian faith should be, that everyone is lesser for it.
//- Raising money to fight the homeless//
This coming from the bastard who would deny a waiter or waitress a tip simply because he doesn’t know the first thing about economics.
//- Starting a business (be it a front lawn lemonade stand or a website company)//
You’ve just lost your mind, haven’t you?
//So-called “Jewish Guilt” has come up as a topic of discussion across the internet, but there is a great deal of evidence that Christian Guilt is, in fact, superior. //
Neither article really specified what either type of “Guilt” was, so by saying that the Christian Guilt is better, you’re just being self-centered.
//It humbles us and humility is another essential element to being an American.//
Funny how you know neither, seeing as how you refuse to admit you are EVER wrong, even about the most basic information possible. Oh, and you keep hailing Christianity as a ‘super special club and members are better than non-members’ like a damned child.
//We learn that success is a blessing and that sometimes there are those of us that the higher powers have chosen not to bless with big league success for reasons we will never understand. //
Yet you condemn those who are successful. Jealous?
//But humility is not something the Chinese know. They want to claim the title of greatest in everything, even though they consistently fail to triumph in sports. //
Proof? Source? Citations? When have the Chinese ever said that they want to be the best at everything?
//No matter, those perfect SAT scores give them egos big enough to blot out the sun! //
So you’re pissed off that Chinese kids are smarter than American kids. Weren’t you just talking about how the Chinese aren’t humble or how they don’t know humility?
//Let’s take the example of mother Sarah Palin. She represents so many of the achievements of our homegrown moms, it’s hard to know where to begin.//
How about how she shows how bat-shit insane of a country we are. She does a good job of representing us like that, considering all the crap we’ve done.
//She is profoundly inspiring, showing us that a woman can juggle a Down Syndrome child and running for the highest office in the land.//
She abandoned her position in Alaska well before the child came about. That, and she’s using both her grand-daughter and her child to garner support, she’s using her children as meal-tickets.
//His mother, bitter at Dad’s failure to become a millionaire industrialist and move her to a mansion in New Orleans, took to harassing her son about his looks between her gulps of apple brandy.//
What the hell? Stevie, did you just jump to a different subject altogether?
//Yet she was a woman, a mother and a patriotic citizen deep inside. In many ways, she embraced a libertarian freedom when expressing herself. //
Wouldn’t you be calling for the hanging of this woman if she actually existed? Are you seriously trying to say that a woman like that is better than the typical Chinese woman? You say this without any proof whatsoever, and you spout nothing but bullshit to back it up. Oh, and if you’re saying that her freedom to attack others is a good thing, then you can’t say shit about what you’ve been told about throughout your whole life; demanding that the people who criticize you and point out your bullshit should shut up and leave is no longer an option for you Stevie. Your own words will be your downfall. I can gauran-damn-tee that I WILL quote you back on your words in this article AND your response to this comment should you EVER mention that we should leave.
Also, I like how your story is completely fictional, yet you keep it up for about a third of your bullshit, making it seem like even in that case, America is still better than China.
Classy Stevie, just classy. You have no actual story to quote from nor several examples, so you made something up and you pray to god that some idiot will buy your words without checking them.

Hi, why don’t you read Amy Chua’s article very closely before you comment further. My work is a response to what has been written in the Wall Street Journal. That article garnered thousands of comments and numerous editorial replies (many of which I link to in this article). I think you will realize there is a vibrant debate going on out there in the media of which this piece is simply my humble contribution. Clearly, as a close reader, you are passionate about your opinions but there are many true flaws to your thinking. If you had a little more respect for the Christian heritage of America, there are some things you could better understand. Well, God bless and good luck.

“Bible makes our younger generation smarter and happier by training them to deal with complex social problems, from the dangers of illicit lifestyles to the glories of a politically active faith community bonding in condemnation of the worst indulgences of a liberal society run amuck.”, I was taught a much different style following the Bible, it taught me to be good to other men, while I would use the Bible as a shield to protect all, people like you choose to use it as a weapon to condemn others. If you truly believe every word in the Bible then I am sure you are aware of the very numerous acts that are an abomination unto the Lord that could not survive in this time, you cannot just pick and choose which of those you believe and which you choose to ignore.
1 last comment from my growing up in Catholic schools and graduating from Loyola, the brothers at my high schools were what I thought truly embodied the Church as true men of God, If someone wishes to learn of your faith, teach him, if he wishes to join your faith embrace him, if he chooses another faith love him. They taught kindness and humility and so far everything I have read on this site is only hate and anger.
PS How did the Christians feel when women were given rights, to vote, to not be considered a piece of property, or given away for a dowry? They fought it.
While the articles here do sadden me, I will not visit to interrupt anymore and I do hope any who disagree with you to not post such nasty comments that I saw on other articles. If you read this and disagree with the author, type your thoughts respectfully, if it bothers you to much leave, you do not have to visit or read it.
Steve you have my apologies for my harsh words in the second paragraph and I do not mean this to be cruel or hateful but, I pity many on this site for it seems they carry a heavy heart full of rage and nothing short of pure hate for anyone who is gay while one of the main points of the Bible is God loves all, even the sinners which is something man should strive for.

The bond between Chinese daughters and mothers is also a terse one, for the government of China hardly value the women there. That of course comes from their nation’s tradition of denying the very egalitarian home values promoted by the Bible and the respect of the institution of marriage that goes along with it.
In China, mothers often make the decision to abort a female child or if they go full term, hide the child away or sell it into a black market of slavery. It is a very sad and troubling situation there and these Chinese mother either lack the will or resolve to stand up for their families.

where is EGALITARIAN in this ?
also Black market slavery ?? first the slavery in china is caused by american company over there second the little girl are in orphanage (not on blackmarket ) and sometime if not often the government let the little girl to their parents
one child Policy is to control the population growth you can have 1 girl or 1 boy ( if you wnat more it’s cost you around 500$)
whil I am at it do you know how chinese take ressource in africa ?? and it’s not by force strange no ? comapred to american
they actually help them administrate their country and in exchange they get ressource ( partnership is called )
on a Last note for Mister Billings who know nothing about the world
why US story is more important than any story to begin with ? mostly to chinese people when they have their own history
also football is not something useful In life
Knowing your own country history is good knowing world history is better as well do you know chinese history ? do you know japanese history ?
anyway if you learn chinese history you won’t believe in it, even if it’s was true
but tell me why american mother are superior ? because they are christian is that all ?
being christian is not a prerequisiste to be a Mother and there is a LOT of great mother in china FAR better than in USA ( you know the same mother in USA who throw their own babies into garbage ?)

The Chinese value the idea of instilling the mind-set of complete focus and discipline at whatever they do so that they can be #1 at whatever it is that they decide to attempt. Otherwise they feel inadequate and insecure because this becomes their identity. It’s either black or it’s white. There is no gray. It’s ‘do or die’ with no in-between.

Please try to show some courtesy. I write because I believe in spreading the word of God, I believe in sharing the love of Jesus and I know that many of you are suffering and lonely. Sometimes you have all that anger pent up inside of you and it sprays out on your message boards, etc. But listen, in the long run I do want you to stay and listen and maybe learn. I do hope that we are doing a service here and that you will appreciate the healing power of Jesus Christ our Redeemer for YOUR wounds. He loves YOU!

“I write because I believe in spreading the word of God, I believe in sharing the love of Jesus and I know that many of you are suffering and lonely.”
And I write because I believe in spreading logic and intelligence. Occasionally, I believe in spreading love, but I cannot love ignorance, bias, or hate, which is what this site is preaching and spreading. And, coincidentally, what YOU are spreading, Billings.

“ad hominen”
Hehe, “hominen”.
“and I know that many of you are suffering and lonely.”
How many times have we been over this? You don’t know shit about us. End of story.
“for YOUR wounds. He loves YOU!”
Oh Christ on a fucking stick, not that shit again. Hey Billings, guess what? We actually have REAL PEOPLE who love us, therefore we don’t need to do like you and resort to imaginary friends.

//Hi, as this is a Christian website whose information is aimed at Christian adults, namely parents, I am not sure what you’re doing here and why you need the ad hominen attacks.//
One, this is a site for trolls to troll, and you seem to have missed the memo. Two, ad hominen or whatever is not the word to use when being ‘attacked’, the correct word is ‘being proven wrong’.
//Please try to show some courtesy.//
How many outbursts have you had? How many vile attacks have you made on rather innocent posters who show up maybe once?
//I write because I believe in spreading the word of God, I believe in sharing the love of Jesus and I know that many of you are suffering and lonely.//
1. You believe in spreading hate and filth. 2. You are a zealot and a hypocrite. 3. You know not one thing about anyone here, aside from Claire who demands that you treat her with equality and lists reasons why. Even then, you don’t know everything about her.
//Sometimes you have all that anger pent up inside of you and it sprays out on your message boards, etc. But listen, in the long run I do want you to stay and listen and maybe learn.//
No, you want us to leave because you know that we’re right and you’re wrong. We’re right in that true Christians don’t go around treating others like shit, much like how you decide that human values and worth are decided upon one’s nationality, religion, ethnicity, economic status, and gender.
//I do hope that we are doing a service here and that you will appreciate the healing power of Jesus Christ our Redeemer for YOUR wounds. He loves YOU! And please don’t throw that away, His love is precious and a truly amazing gift for us all.//
You love ignoring the fact that you’re apart of the same group, don’t you? Jesus died for OUR sins, not yours, because you’re a Christian, you have a free ticket to heaven in your twisted little mind.

Do you know that I truly care for your soul? Please take a step back and look at all the disgust and anger you have thrown my way. It is a cancer of your heart, all that pain. I worry about someone who have so much violence inside of him. I realize you are adamant about disagreeing with me, but why are you so full of hate? Listen, I want to be your friend. I want to love you! Life is difficult, i know that, but there’s no reason to strike out against the people who may be more experienced with the vagaries of life, the hardships. I really want to help. Please don’t push me away. I would love to talk to you more. Why don’t you tell me about your life, maybe I can learn about your suffering and show you some special ways to deal with it. Please, don’t be afraid of my concern and love. I do love you.

No, you just want brownie points and an excuse to bitch at people.
//Please take a step back and look at all the disgust and anger you have thrown my way.//
Take a step back and look at all of the hatred you’ve spouted out towards everyone without cause. My anger is caused by your hatred. If you don’t like it, then admit that you’re wrong and your ways of hating people are wrong and apologize.
//It is a cancer of your heart, all that pain.//
You’re a cancer upon humanity, and that’s no metaphor, you’re flat out killing this country and what it stands for.
//I worry about someone who have so much violence inside of him.//
Trying to make me the bad guy? Have you forgotten that you’re all about oppressing society and women, and you’re racist attitude towards the world?
//I realize you are adamant about disagreeing with me, but why are you so full of hate? Listen, I want to be your friend. I want to love you!//
Why am I full of hate? I do believe I mentioned this already, it’s because you do nothing but spread lies. You’re a zealot, a terrorist, a demon, filth, scum, ignorant, stubborn, bitter, a liar, you keep claiming you want to love people, yet you refuse to accept what the idea of love is. You would rather murder those who are against you than help them, you refuse to understand the concept of being wrong, and you will insist that you’re right, no matter what.
//Life is difficult, i know that, but there’s no reason to strike out against the people who may be more experienced with the vagaries of life, the hardships.//
May is the big part there asshole. Considering how your some lonely virgin living at home with his alcoholic mother who cries herself to sleep at night knowing her son is a failure at life, I highly doubt you have much more experience in this world than I do, especially considering how you still have no clue how old I am. I do believe I’ve brought this point up several times, that I could very well be older than you, yet you don’t know.
//I really want to help. Please don’t push me away. I would love to talk to you more.//
No you don’t, you want to push your ideas of what a man should be, of what a woman should be, of what society should be, of what this world should be, and you don’t want the opposition to have one word edge-wise. You do nothing but plug your ears and go ‘la-la-la-la’ whenever you’re proved wrong. You don’t want to talk to anyone, you want a moron to listen to you ramble on while you stand on your soapbox and tell people how they should follow your rules. You’re against freedoms and choice and love, you’ve admitted this several times, so stop acting like you’re some kind of saint.
//Why don’t you tell me about your life, maybe I can learn about your suffering and show you some special ways to deal with it.//
Suffering? Jackass, I’ve got it fairly good. I’ve got friends who care about me, family who care about me, a steady income, getting an education to further my career, I’ve got plenty of events and activities going on that are healthy and so on. All things considered, I’ve got it made, so for me to have any ‘suffering’, it would mean that I’m pissed instead, and nothing pisses me off more than some retard who pushes his views onto everyone and tells them that they’re wrong for not wanting to be under his rule like some damned king.
//Please, don’t be afraid of my concern and love. I do love you.//

What do you mean by “Whoever you are”? You damn well who the hell I am!! I’ve been forced to call you “Uncle Stevie” ever since I could walk. Every year on my Birthday, you’d show up at my party dressed in your clown makeup and ass-less leather chaps and make balloon cocks! Sure, you said they were swords, but we knew the difference. Mom never cared, thanks to Prince Valium (and some biker dude that would show up whenever you and Dad were off at some “Christian Men’s Wilderness Retreat”).

“Do you know that I truly care for your soul?”
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. Stop trying to win the favor of your “god” by pretending to give a shit about other people. And I’ve only said it 1,000,000 times, but WE DON’T WANT YOU TO CARE ABOUT US. Have I made myself clear enough? It is an INTRUSION into our lives, particularly when we’ve constantly told you NOT to care.
“Please take a step back and look at all the disgust and anger you have thrown my way.”
You reap what you sow. You’re sleeping in the bed that you made. Shall I go on?
“I realize you are adamant about disagreeing with me, but why are you so full of hate?”
Because YOU are so full of hate. Every single one of your “articles” is nothing more than a hate speech against gays, cats, TV shows, Bill Murray, etc. A bastard who writes paragraphs upon paragraphs of why cats supposedly suck deserves all the hate that someone can dish out. Perhaps then you’ll learn your lesson. Until then, stop bitching about people throwing hate towards you.
“Listen, I want to be your friend. I want to love you!”
And that is CREEPY! You’re a perverted old clown who wants to “love” us. Again, that is creepy! Unlike you, we have people in our lives who love us, such as parents, friends, etc.
“Life is difficult, i know that, but there’s no reason to strike out against the people who may be more experienced with the vagaries of life, the hardships. I really want to help. Please don’t push me away. I would love to talk to you more. Why don’t you tell me about your life, maybe I can learn about your suffering and show you some special ways to deal with it.

Clearly you should do a little bit of research before you blatantly post a racist comment. Pedo is the prefix meaning child, usually referred towards the word pedophile. He was calling this cunt a child molester. Besides, calling someone Pedro isn’t that much of an insult.

Stephenson has helped me find the love of Jesus through his counseling sessions. He filled me up with the Holy Spirit and showed me exactly how to let God get inside of me. I feel sorry for all of you that feel the need to argue and yell at this wonderful man of God. If you let him, he will touch you in so many wonderful ways. Thank you Stephenson for filling me with your love.

In today’s world, Mothers are not held in high regard. Blamed, thrown in rehab or worse taken for granted.
Yes, there is a great deal of despair and rewards for those that choose this path. A good parent relishes those first steps. A great parent will ask for time off from dancing at the strip club to pick up their little snowflake from juvie. An amazing parent, like Sarah, will quit her job as governor and send tweeps like a bear when her cub is maligned in a dance contest.
Great article for each mom to contemplate on our path to providing a good Christian foundation for our children.

I have laughed a great many times reading these comments. Countless times Mr. Billings has been put in his place only to bounce back with his “free love” excuse, completely ignoring the hate he has originally posted just a few scrolls away.
Mr. Billings, I do not know you, and from what I have read written to and by you, I wish never to meet you. You seem falsely mature, claiming to want everyone’s best interest while defending your clearly wrong decisions, among these: not citing your sources.
I am fine with religion, I am fine with beliefs and anything to help you carry out your daily routine, but please, America should be a land of freedom, as was intended. You have the freedom to believe what you want, and we have the freedom to say you are utterly, utterly, wrong. Please, read up on this link I found on another article of yours:
http://www.howtostopmasturbating.com/
Realize that masturbation is not just involving the sexual organs of oneself, it can also be mental, creating a fantasy around yourself in which you find satisfaction, and this, sir, is as dangerous as the addiction to masturbation you had posted the link in.
The Morning Star will expect your soul.
Good day.
