I think a suitable reply would be a counter-thread with the opposite title and a wish to not offend the male population. So far the women here seem to be apologizing. "Women should be permitted to work (with an I think added). This isn't on the table. The majority citizen is saying shut up and sit down. Theres no I think here. This anti-woman propaganda aint going anywhere. Take it off planet please.

I personally would like to see the Republic restored instead of constantly hearing about democracy which means MOB RULES and not what the USA is all about.In this regard it is you who sounds misleading
A Republics purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual’s God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general. The definition of a Republic is: a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution--adopted by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment--with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Here the term "the people" means, of course, the electorate.
I also don't need to hear from you what I can think or say. I'm afraid it's you who sounds like a Nazi.
Abusive relationship are irrelevant and really have no bearing on this issue as far as I can see. They would be present regardless thats the animal in people. It's unfortunate but I'm not really sure what your saying here.

i am all for women being treated fairly and w/ respect. but how is our culture that much better off? men are getting tired of women nagging and women are now having to pick up the slack for both genders. how has this liberated me as a female? how am i liberated when everytime i turn around i am being treated by various men as a sex object when, having to maintain all the gender roles in this family, i feel like ANYTHING BUT a sex object. this is the great goal of this movement?
had i understood my role as a woman, i could have made better choices. i am still responsible for my choices, but i just would like to see both sides of the issue getting out there more.
if a woman wants to have it all and w/ the support of her husband can do that, than more power to her!! but this mentality that we CAN do it all is bs!! some can and some have......... i can not. i recognize my limitations, but i have had to learn at a VERY high cost!! i just want to see more women educated on ALL the sides of the issue.
you can make better choices for your end goal when you are better educated and able to understand your nature as a female.

i am really thinking we are either living in two different societies or you are seeing things as you want to see them.
You don't think woman can reach their full potential as wives and mothers? I guess it's all in how important the end result of your efforts within family are perceived. To raise a free thinking strong child should be the goal of every family yet it is getting harder to achieve this. don't you think?

Going back a few pages you'll see i quoted the Bible;we are all created equally. And as this thread is about the Bible,it has to be asked,why was this ignored and women (along with non-whites) treated as unintelligent and weak willed people for so long.Especially when it goes against Jesus' teachings.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Probably not literal enough for you right?
I've already said that we are not equal in body strength etc.But our brains are the same.
There have been many notable people with downs syndrome who have achieved wonderful things.
to strip any legal standing that women have managed to achieve in the last hundred plus years would make them powerless to protect themselves from such abuse! absolute power corrupts absolutely! there would be more abuse if men knew that the women didn't have any alternative than to take it!
It's not just the bible and Christianity that portrays women in a subservient role, Islam and Hinduism does the same. Hindu scriptures even calls for a married woman to throw herself on her husband's funeral pryre Funny how we Hindus, men and women alike can worship a female deity, yet treat women as second class citizens.
