Huh. I just posted a whole bit on men unable to accept the mature responsibilities of adulthood - referring to you as a counter-example. And then I click over here and you guys already have the term "adultescence." I think I wasted about 200 words over at Dawn's blog.

Seven times I bow before thee...

True. Today's culture has been emasculated because of this idolatry of feminism. Feminists are so blindly fighting for their own rights they don't even see they're destroying them, and a few others to boot.

I find it interesting that the "biblical" view is not one of balance but one of total dominance of one sex over the other. God forbid women should have equal standing in this world - hint - they still don't have it. Whenever women try to level the playing field, if men don't see themselves in a position of total dominance, they cry, whine & complain. I'm happy I raised daughters and sons who do not share these opinions. Only men can immasculate themselves and each man has a different view on what exactly it is to be masculine.

Mr. Don, i absolutely disagree with you that the "Biblical view" is imbalanced. The Bible does say that a woman should submit to her HUSBAND, not all men. Furthermore, she is to submit to her husband only when he puts her (and his family's) best interest first. Plus, there are many many strong women in the Bible. Rahab is under celebrated, but she was very strong. I believe it's in Isaiah that her story is told. She harbored servants of the Lord in an unGodly city, a crime for which she could have been executed. It's one of my favorite stories.

The femenists have gone from trying to gain rights to trampling on the rights of men. Look at any sitcom. Generally they feature a dumb, overweight, plain man married to an intelligent, thin, beautiful woman. It's a man-bashing industry at the moment.
Also, i have a lesbian aunt who is a man-bashing femenist and it's very difficult to try to change these womens' minds. They are resolute in their prejudices against men. My aunt assumes all men are pigs, jerks, and pedophiles because of the fact that she was raped by one who happened to be all of the above. Her history doesn't justify her behavior though.
Ms. Gandy (in the article) makes women look bad, as far as i'm concerned. I intend to be a science professor AND a mother. why? Because i want to! Is it a bad thing for women to be the nurterer? I'm all for women having careers and such, but in nature the female is the one who nurtures the children. Obviously the natural thing is for the woman to take care of the children. In general, men get their sense of worth from being the breadwinner and women get it from being a mother. that's simply how we're hardwired. there's nothing wrong with that.
As far as i'm concerned many of the femenists have taken a step backward because they aren't engaging in a fight for their own rights anymore. Many of them have generalized, and now they're engaging in reverse discrimination.

Feminists (and liberals in general) have just about come to the end of their explanatory rope; if they were really being honest with themselves, they would realize (and admit) that (a)Feministic mothers emasculate their sons (it's true--you might as well cut off our skinnacles and damn us to the life of a eunich while you're at it), (b) More child-care funding makes all of us poorer, (c) No society can exist without men, neither healthily nor in practicality, and (d) The mainstream media propogates this pathetic drivel to the point of anality.
Get used to it, Don. You have been taught to believe in and teach your children a lie. The Great Lie of our time.

I could not agree with you more,Alex and Brett.When one looks at what the modern defination of womenhood and manhood and the Biblical view,we can see how far people are from the original.I believe that when woman are true woman ,the men will take their place as leaders.As a woman I am called to be the mans helper,now that doesn`t mean that I can`t study or work,but I do believe that the family is the womens first responsibility.Not only that but also the womens first ministry.There is so much joy in Gods design for the family .But now women want to take the role of men and that is really distroying this generation.

I love the title: If Boys Would be Men, Would Girls be Ladies?

Women complain (I include myself in this statement) about the lack of real men around us. Quite frankly, I'm disgusted by the pansies and self-centered "men" who live in the land of "boydom" and shirk responsiblity. But though we do most of the complaining, are women much better? How can we expect men to be men if we women won't even be women?? We have shirked our responsibilities in the home in order to take over the job that "man isn't doing good enough". Men need to be men no matter what, but women need to make sure they aren't hindering their efforts and maybe even pull their act together before they point the finger. And maybe if mother's were at home to direct their sons in the path of manhood...that would make a difference. "The hand that rocks the cradle also rules the world". Unfortunately, not many mothers are even home to be near the cradle.
