May we suggest a better church? Did Kelly tell the pastor what he/she thought of the sermon?
I see. So the idea is that the family - an exclusive, private institution - is supposed to be democratic. Why? No one knows. It just seems more "moral" that way.
And as to how men and women are "equal," no one can provide an example of that, either. Again, it just seems more "moral" to say that it's simply true.
It's little wonder, then, that the institution of marriage is generally worthless today. After all, the egalitarianism of men and women, not to mention the family, evidently has no basis in reality.
I worked in the corporate world in a big city for thirty some years without ever feeling that my male counterparts and bosses checked my advancement on the basis of my female sex. I then moved to the country and worked in a field (agriculture and natural resources) for more than a decade where men dominated. I always felt that they respected me and accepted my contributions.
It was not until I ran for public office and had conservative men tell me that I could not do the job solely on the basis of my sex that I experienced prejudice. Let me tell you, it is a stunner. There is absolutely nothing that a candidate can do to counter that. Nevertheless, I won with a substantial margin.
Conservatives need to support female conservative candidates and that means that some have to get over their antiquated view that the little woman belongs at home taking their direction.
You do know "Wonder Woman" was just an old, cheesy TV show..
Kelly Hollowell is a whiny little twit.
She doesn't know her Bible ery well, either, and that is supposed tobe her forte: mixing her scientific training with her "Christian" knowlege.
Is that Johnny Damon standing on the left?
I'm uniformly disappointed by her pieces. She just ain't the brightest bulb on the tree. Which bothers me more because she tends to feed the stereotype that Christians are a bit dumber than the average bear, and that affects the rest of us.
Let me run out to the kitchen to ask my wife what she thinks.
ROTFLMAO! Classic!
Behind every successful man is a woman telling him he's wrong.
Hey Wench! Where's my beer?
The author needs to go back to start on this. Garbled message, unimpressive composition.
Not if you're doin it right. ;-)
Right here with you too.
What the "enlightened" feminists don't grasp is that there IS no "inferiority" - there are simply appropriate, natural gender roles. For decades, libfems have sought to destroy gender roles and render them irrelevent. They can't accept the fact that men and women ARE different, and that true "equality" is a pipe dream.
My wife (she's 30 - I'm 28) will be the first to tell you the same (I mention our ages, as many hold that these beliefs are for the 50+ crowd). She was raised to know that there are certain things that men handle, and there are certain things that women handle - and ne'er should the twain meet.
She nurtures, nests, tends to the home. I bring home the bacon, fix things, and protect the home. We compromise frequently, but she defers final decisions to me. I, in turn, respect her decisions, and admit when I don't have the answer. She trusts me to provide and lead, I trust her to make it all work. I see the big picture, she tends to the details. It's a wonderful system.
Some may see it as unfair, some see me as a dinosaur, and she as June Cleaver - but it's beautiful, Biblical, 100% natural - and we wouldn't have it any other way.
...all work for the guy. Hmm, sounds boring to me.
That sword might be a factor. ;-)
The Man Song by Bob and Tom
I don't take no crap (from anyone else but you),
I wear the pants around here (when I'm finished with your laundry),
Cause I'm a guy you don't wanna fight,
When I say jump (you say, "Yeah Right!")
I'm the man of this house (until you get home).
What I say goes around here (right out the window),
And I don't want to hear a lot of whining (so I'll shut up),
The sooner you learn who's boss around here
(The sooner you can give me my orders, dear),
Cause I'm head honcho around here (but it's all in my head!)
And I can have sex any time (that you want),
'Cause I'm a man who has needs (but they're not that important),
And don't expect any flowers from me ('cause if I'm not mistaken you prefer jewelery),
I'm the king of my castle (when you're not around).
And I'll drink and watch sports whenever I want (to get in trouble),
And I'll come home when I'm good and ready (to sleep on the couch),
'Cause a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
(and I'm gonna do what you tell me to),
Because I'm top dog around here (but I've been neutered!)
Somebody forgot to tell my husband that little piece of info.
I have an appointment and don't have time to play on this thread...but I'll be back.
"To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.""
NOTE it says "your desire" will be, doesn't say, husband I give you the right to RULE, nor that every woman's desire will be to be ruled by the husband.
Who are you, and what have you done with Xenalyte?
Toothless online challenges aren't her style.
Of course, she did threaten to kill me once if I told her beau one of those man secrets.... hmmm.... maybe you is you ;o>
