Featured I Look Down On Young Women With Husbands And Kids And I’m Not Sorry

Here Gina ...



I think this one is your size.

Poncho's post is stupid, off the wall, and ignorant. "The corporations and banks invented feminism"??? Seriously? You think that's valid, even if some twisted, maniacal way? Great googly moogly!!

 

There are far more feministas in the world like Amy Glass who think anyone who would choose such a life for themselves is dull, uneducated, enslaved, dumb, barefoot and pregnant. Those types are far more numerous, and far more dangerous, than the very few who would fit the description you claim here.

Perhaps you should go to his home and make sure he doesn't have any women chained up in the basement. I mean, he must, given he holds such a dangerous opinion. [/sarcasm]

In reality, it isn't any of your business. Why don't you ask them if it is or not? I'd be prepared to catch a rather lengthy diatribe from them about not questioning their life choices or their beliefs, however.

I defy you to find one woman in a so-called "conservative circle" who has ever had the nerve to actually go up to a female corporate executive and ask that question. One, they have more decorum than that. Two, they don't want to catch the reverse diatribe you will get if you ever ask a stay-at-home mom such a personally invasive question.

Many on this board have nothing better to do than be someone else's judge and jury. I wouldn't judge the real world by anything said on this board, by male or female. The same can be said about Facebook, LinkedIn, or any Internet based "community." People say things online they would never have the guts to say to your face. Most of what is said online is meaningless in the first place, and if you let words on a screen cause you emotional pain, you're likely being way too sensitive about what others think of you in the first place. You have only two to which you must answer: God, and yourself. If you're married, add in your spouse as #3. No one else matters.

Again, it's irrelevant. We allow people to hold our lives in their hands by their opinions. Why? They are just that, opinions. They have no binding power, no strength by which to defeat us. Say, "Thank you for your opinion," and move on. Americans for far too long have cared what other people think, to no purpose other than letting it cause them personal anxiety.

Men do it to one another. You must understand, what a man does is where his identity lies. Failure in the job or in a recreational activity is a blow to the ego that rejection by a wife or a girlfriend can't begin to match. Sure, we're hurt by the women in our lives having a low opinion of us, even if it is out of temporary anger or misunderstanding. But when we fail, we reduce our value in our own eyes, not to mention how we know our friends and co-workers see us (even if they don't). You seem to think men get off scot-free. We don't. We treat one another worse than we inadvertently, or with some of us, deliberately treat women, or than they treat us. You're focusing on one aspect of a problem that afflicts the whole human race: Others' opinions of us, and the bottom line is, they don't matter, not in the least.

I've got startling news for you. The vast majority of men don't care one way or another. You may see men from the perspective of those in your life, but overall, men could care less if their wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc., work or stay home -- though as a dad I can say I want my daughter to be everything she can be, however she sees that work out in her life. I'm proud of my wife and her major accomplishments as a NICU nurse, mother, and servant of the Lord for all these years. But other women? Among our friends are many women who have both achieved greatly outside the home and inside the home. But I don't care one way or another. What I care about is that they are our friends, they treat my wife well, they accept me for who I am. Again, this may surprise you, but that is what the vast majority men care about regarding women in the world around them.

It shouldn't matter that much. Or at all. Not given that the only person it affects, that you can do anything about, is you.

Then you've been in the wrong churches.

 

Awesome counterpoint. Well thought out and written with an elegance we seldom see here.

 

Everyone is entitled to an opinion I reckon. It makes me happy no end to have everyone witness such childish antics from my detractors. :smilewinkgrin:

I think this thread is bringing out some true colors Gina. :laugh:

 

If someone can dream up an improbable scenario, another someone has a webpage and a YouTube video dedicated to proving it is true. Even when that's impossible -- as with most of the clap-trap you post.

 

Well that's sort of disappointing. I was hoping you'd throw in some of the more colorful insults you've become famous for. Ah well, I'm sure you'll post some somewhere today.

 

I'm not famous. Just truthful.

 

There's no need to be so modest TND you're making quite the name for yourself here. I always thought of myself as being courageous but I can't hold a candle to you. You know it all and aren't afraid to tell everyone so. That takes real guts, bravo! :thumbs:

 

I can't help but hear Cindy Lauper's "True Colors" playing in my head as I read through this! :laugh:

I've never run across someone who mocks and degrades to the degree of TND who isn't a fearful person. People who are afraid know there's something to be afraid of, but they're confused about what it is and can't quite understand it, so they try to push it away rather than face it and learn more about what is triggering their fear.

That's not a good place to be, but it least it does show that somewhere inside, there's a thought process going on. Something that says "This is too scary to accept so I must push it away at all costs rather than analyze it. I must call it unbelievable because accepting even a tiny part of it would hurt my world view and that would be devastating."

 

Thank you for the psychoanalysis. I shall copy this into Word, print it out, show it to my wife, children, colleagues, have a wonderful laugh over how you have me all figured out, and then shred it so as to save a tree.



That really is hilarious.

God bless.

 

Save a tree, you say? Careful now. Recycling is the gateway thought. After that comes being a liberal, then a radical, then a conspiracy theorist, and somewhere along the way it all just turns to chaos and anarchy.
You may want to pick up a torch and burn the paper instead, or perhaps drop it in your incinerator. Fire is, after all, something people are drawn to, and especially pretty when done at night.
I must go now. My glass of milk, my apple, and my pear are calling my name.

 

There's a name for this condition. Cognitive Dissonance. CLICK HERE To see how it works. :smilewinkgrin:
