Sarah Palin, in her acceptance speech, made this comment about “the glass ceiling,”

"It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all."

The rest of the story is that, history has proven that when women break the protective barrier that God has established for them it comes at a high cost. Instead of God’s design that women be chaste, keepers at home, helpmeets, mothers, teachers of children (Titus 2:5, Genesis 1:24, Genesis 24:60, Ephesians 6:1-4), they choose to be liberated. With that liberation comes a lot of blood from the falling glass. They have the scars to prove it. Here is what they got:

Workplace romance that destroyed their families

Prozac

Divorce

Latch key children

Teenage pregnant daughters

Low self esteem

ADD

Overwork

Drugging her children by school psychologists

The freedom to kill her children in her womb

Military service

Post Abortion Stress Syndrome

An impossible schedule of job and home

Vulnerability of independence

Poverty – the “new poor” who have no husbands

Passive husbands

Misery

We should consider the possibility that women today are experiencing a level of dissatisfaction, stress and unhappiness that American women have never before experienced. Feminism made them dissatisfied enough with their lives to throw off convention. But when they experience the fruits of their liberation, they find that what they got was not exactly pleasing. The protective barrier was broken but the falling glass was horrendous and the scars are telling.

But there is a better way in the home centered, husband helping, child raising life that God has ordained for the happiness of his daughters and their families.
