Letter to editor:How marriage protects women
LancasterOnline ^ | Dec. 27, 2017 | Larry Garber

The recent wave of sexual abuses of women is tragic. Despite increased achievements by women, the outcomes have been unfortunate for many others. Ironically, feminism has thrust many women into isolation and abuse. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, and feminist Gloria Steinem bear much responsibility. Despite today’s contrary belief, women are not equal to men. Men are not equal to women, either. There are natural, God-created differences, and we would do well to remember them.

Women are most liberated (free from predators) and safest when they are bonded to a man they have made commitment to (marriage). Women who refuse to value marriage and motherhood set themselves up as open competitors and victims in the sexual market. Many seeking power have prostituted themselves, whether by seductive (un)dress, casual hookups or adultery. Because they are our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, women are worthy of greater respect and protection.

An intelligent man of integrity seeking an ordered and gratifying life wants only one woman for a wife. A virtuous woman desirous of stability and peace wants only one husband. She is much less likely to be harassed by men if married. Marriage protects the relationship between men and women and society in general.

Many sexual untruths and myths have flourished for the last 50 years. We have gone from the Defense of Marriage Act to no boundaries for sex. Hollywood has been dishing out salacious sexual anarchy and confusion for years, so it is not at all surprising that leftists and liberals are caught up in sexual abuse and sins.

“Despite today’s contrary belief, women are not equal to men. Men are not equal to women, either. There are natural, God-created differences”

Men and women are not equal, they are different and complementary.

We are equal but not the same.

If the responses to his letter don’t blow your mind, I don’t know what would.

Same way they want to bureaucratize children under the “care” of perverted “civil” “servants”, they wanted the women broken from family to control them.

The author is not mentioning the original sin mechanism, but satan in his servants sure howls in the comment sections

Signing a “marriage contract” puts all a man’s resources in limbo, subject to the whims of his new master.

Listen, Trump better get a lot done next year because 2018 is going to be ugly because people who have never voted before will register. They are tying everyone’s personal failures to the Republcan Party. They will get their people out to vote. I wish I was wrong, but I don’t think so.

If I had a facebook account I would respond on the main article.

I am a woman and I agree with this article. It breaks my heart what has happened to the family.

Agreed. Marriage should be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed undefiled. The “hookup culture” has helped no one and hurt many.

If you read any of the respondents, you’ve seen unhinged hyperbole. Most of the loons accused him of “misogyny”. How they came up with that is beyond belief. I do believe that with so many out of the area trolls, someone circulated it far and wide and the libtards converged, bringing with them their talking points.

I noticed that. They were attacking his article like crazy. I really wanted to post a reply to counter a little of that. But again, no facebook, no posty. I don't have a facebook account. Totally rebel .

I wish that this was true, but I think we need a change of heart in this country away from the image of women and men presented by the entertainment industry. Until that happens, being in close proximity to a man they are married to will not make many women safer. I have nothing against marriage. Done well it is ideal. But you can’t ignore rotten culture and assume that marrying everyone off will give a good result in a world where nihilism rules.

In my own case, my “husband” drank himself into Dutch courage when I complained about harassment and asked him for his help to maybe drop by my office and look intimidating or something. Instead of helping me out, he got drunk, shoved me around, and broke stuff. I got no help from him. Instead, I just had to tough it out. I sabotaged the perpetrator, with the result that he was moved (promoted, depressingly enough) and I got a new boss who treated his wife like gold and his subordinates like subordinates. He was a Christian BTW.

Living in the close outskirts of Pennsyltucky, many firms, including mine, are very openly Christian oriented and run as such. There has been no hint of sexual harassment or skullduggery that I have seen or heard of. Marriage is not a panacea, but it is stabilizing, for the most part.

People can't see the obvious truth right in front of their noses.

Having ditched marriage, women have never been more "liberated." Women have never been more exposed to aggression, harassed, exploited, isolated, lonely, and disrespected.
