What is a "feminist'?

I meant I agree with their stance on abortion. I sometimes wonder, though, what their intentions were. I also think somewhere along the line some feminazi took their ball and ran with it.

That being said, I'm not sure about married women voting. Shouldn't the entire family be in agreement?

Boy, I wonder if THAT will open up a can of worms...! [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Yes, I agree.

 

good point. isn't voting an expression of power and authority?

1Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Isaiah 3:12
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

sounds like the typical family situation these days, unfortunately.

 

I'm going by experience. My husband would vote Democrat or independent. I lean to the right--so I'd go Republican.

Why is this? Well...we work at a place that requires you to be in a union, and typically Democrats support unions.

Me, I'm a bit leery of unions...it seems like they demand a bit too much. I'm happy with what I earn. In fact, my leave is a paid leave.

On the other hand, the company we work for will screw people over given half a chance.

I'm saying that who to vote for can cause a rift between a married couple. All I'm saying. And I'm saying it as a married woman.

 

Great point Alexandra!

And thanks for the verses Timothy.

I personally stay out of politics, but I see Alexandra's point.

 

No offense Thankful, but didn't feminism in America begin with women demanding their right to vote?

 

I was just tossing it out for an idea. I never said married women couldn't vote. My husband and I don't have that many problems in our marriage anyhow.

 

I am very, very thankful for their hard work and for the freedom that I enjoy today.

I just thought of something else. What is it about women voting that has contributed to women submitting to their husbands, loving their children and being keepers at home?

 

should women stay at home, barefoot and pregnant? i don't know about barefoot, but...

Titus 2:5
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

1Timothy 2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

 

I guess what I'm trying to get at is, no problem with a single woman voting.

But a husband and wife are supposed to be one. I guess if one wants to vote one way and the other the other way...not too many elections are won by one vote!

I think a lot of it is, my husband tends to vote for whom the union endorses, and I vote pro-life, because that's important to me.

Then I want to take a "fatalistic" view and say whomever God wants in will get in.

Husband and wife should work together on this. Politics can cause rifts in families. My mother and I don't see eye to eye because she votes Democrat. But, she says, at least she raised me to think for myself and not just blindly follow her. Yes I respect my mother.

 

do you two ever feel tempted to stay at home, since in many races your votes just cancel each other out?

so what does the "barefoot" in "barefoot and pregnant" mean anyway? that she stays inside? that her husband is too cheap to buy shoes? what?

btw, my entire family wears just socks on our feet inside the house....

 

do you two ever feel tempted to stay at home, since in many races your votes just cancel each other out? </font>[/QUOTE]LOL! Good point!

 

Let me throw a log on the fire!

Susan B. Anthony, suffragette and likely atheist, said the following:

 

"Barefoot" in
"barefoot and pregnant" has no seperate
meaning. "Barefoot and pregnant" means
(well, around the Texas area) abusive
control of the wife by the husband.

I've been a Christian for 51 years and
have studyed the Bible extensively.
Never yet have i found a verse that
even hints that husbands are to LORD
it over their wifes. But this lording
it over the wife is EXACTLY what
"barefoot and pregnant" means.
