This is why it really pisses me off when women jump on board this Misogynistic bullshit

(8,084 posts)They wrapped this debate around a Christian Idea and they suck gullible women into believing they are doing god's work.
Then they hit them with this Scripture "Lean not unto your own understanding"
That one Scripture will automatically turn off the thought process of a believer and they will go along with anything. I got hit with that scripture when I told a Christian Friend of mine that I don't believe it's right for the Gov to regulate a women's body. And if she is debating an Abortion or not Uncle Same should stay out if.
Her response, "Lean not unto your own understanding Heather!"
I decided I like my understanding just fine and it was she who should consider leaning.
I don't speak to her very much anymore

(8,084 posts)The news interview two of his female supporters
One of the Women said, "OH he is just a man he don't know no better it's alright he is a man of God and his heart is in the right place"
LAME

(26,501 posts)no better than a bicycle. It's not that poor oppressed man's fault that he has the ethics of a hyena and the understanding of science of a 3 year old.

I would compare them to ebola virus.....

Heather MC
(8,084 posts)I love discussing Religions
BlancheSplanchnik
(20,219 posts)Get started teaching values that serve people rather than serve the dogmas of some mythical overlord, that is.
I'm a Buddhist in the Nichiren tradition, whose writings spell out clearly and repeatedly that men and women are equally capable and respectworthy, and that any philosophy that denies the potential and the rights of ANYONE is hazardous.
Religions --and even more so, the false sages who use religion for power--don't own morality!

Very sad.
The men are just power mad assholes. That's sad, too, but when victims jump in to help abusers, that's the worst.
So says a man who loves his children, grandchildren, and great-granchildren.

(30,884 posts)Their maleness wasn't the primary reason for the legislation.
(the "0" is obvious hyperbole IMHO. I doubt anyone actually cataloged it.)
dsc
(52,162 posts)but I do think, for example, a black man who dated a white woman was in far more trouble than a black woman who dated a white man.

(27,275 posts)And I doubt white male/black female couples were ignored by racists.
dsc
(52,162 posts)but I dare say it isn't an accident that it was Emmit Till and not Emmita Till whose death became a historical matter. It was the sexuality of the black male that was feared way more than that of the black female by the makers and enforcers of those laws.

(16,113 posts)The kind that states enacted to target gay men?
Warpy
(111,270 posts)and they didn't regulate a man's body the way those assholes are trying to regulate and control women.
They were feelgood laws, enacted to make religious nuts feel righteous but unenforceable.
Raping women with hard plastic dildos is quite a bit different and you know it.
dsc
(52,162 posts)tell that to Lawrence or Hardwick to name two. It should be noted that many, many, many a gay military man went to prison under the supposedly unenforceable sodomy statutes.
hughee99
(16,113 posts)AND it's completely different so they don't count as laws intended to regulate a man's body. Raping women with hard plastic dildos isn't what sodomy laws were targeting and you know it.
See, I personally would have gone another way with this, where I would have admitted that the laws were also awful and moved on with my argument rather than trying to highlight one groups suffering by denigrating another groups suffering... but that's just me.

(16,169 posts)I had to tell my wife that I couldn't smell her and asked if she ever stood in a line and had that "unclean" feeling the pitchman was talking about?
She about beat me on the head and stated in a loud voice, "NO"
I think the ad men have been at the heart of the entire matter.

(4,711 posts)Don't get me wrong, women have every right to do as they will with their bodies, but drawing these bullshit exclusionary lines is just alienating your allies.
Oh, and I just remembered, they chopped off a piece of my genitals before I was old enough to give consent. That was kind of a dick move, pardon the pun.
Snake Plissken
(4,103 posts)Can someone explain to me how that is even possible?
Heather MC
(8,084 posts)They have these women convinced that God wants this
Because
"Women are the weaker vessel"
"Man is the head of the household"
"You women be in subjection to your husbands"
