Our desire for more "things" and our economy has forced even the women who choose to raise their children themselves and be a housewife (no, that is NOT a dirty word - and certainly not a job that is inferior to any other) out into the workforce, having to fight every step of the way. What happened to mothers teaching their young sons to stand up when a woman walks in the room, hold a door open for a lady, give an elderly person their seat? They don't have time to teach sons these things, because they're out competing with their fathers for jobs, to "prove themselves" - to who? Themselves? Men? Other women? I salute the women who are proud of being wives and mothers, who are home raising their children with morals (wow - don't find those in day care). And yes, I've had to be out in the workplace, fighting for a paycheck, most of my life - but it was not my choice - I have the women's libbers to thank for that - and our economy. I would much have preferred raising my children, having a hot meal on the table when the family got home. I enjoyed those things - and never considered them beneath me. However - when it comes to rape, I don't find there is a reason - none - the rapist is an animal. He rates right down there with the abusive husband. And I have no problem in using a TASER or stun gun or any weapon at hand to fight back.

Remember it is not called the war of the sexes for nothing! You turncoat you! Shame on you, giving comfort to the enemy. Just joking, my wife and I are about as progressive as they come, we even owned a cannabis dispensary for a couple of years. She has always made an interesting point or two about women's liberation. Firstmost she always makes a point that women in the western world have little clue how good they actually have it, that 19 out of 20 women in the world are still basically chattel property. Her secondmost point is that ALL women who are not currently chattel property are just a technological heartbeat away from being chattel property once again. When the weird times come and money does not work anymore most women will have the good sense to align themselves with a man for their protection. Rape gangs are hard to deal with without one. Sounds sexist I know, but remember these statements are from a very pragmatic farm girl. SCOTT!!! Remember it is not called the war of the sexes for nothing! You turncoat you!

I think the bible is full of images of women as teachers-Pricilla, many prophets-Ana, Miriam, phillips 4 daughters, and women in general. business owners-Lydia,Pricilla+many prominent women, and rebels-Rayhab &pharoah's daughter etc.etc. And I don'tagree with the whole bit about clothes and sexual "freedom." I think there is no freedom in acting out sexually for men or women. There are responsible choices and consequenes for irresponsible choices. But I agree that magazines and the media in general have tricked women(& men) into wasting their time focusing on their looks rather than the content of their lives- as if being sexually available and provacative is power. The whole rape and molestation of women & children is too complicated to address in a sentence - but yes I think perps of these crimes are trying to have power over someone and so caught up in addictive cycles of behavior that they are probably not even aware of their own evil I think to continue to move our society forward in this area- we may need to pursue prosecutuion of these crimes as hate crimes against women and look at some ads on bill boards as hate speech against women. And pursue change there - as some groups are doing in the EU. Peace & blessings, Grace I disagree w/the anti religion talk.

I agree tht a more active fight to ensure women's rights is needed by govts, NGOs, society etc. i don't believe tht women can do it all on their won as they hve to live in a society along with men - thus men hve to be part of the solution. Yes, being a woman IS confusing sometimes - be this but be that is something that exists. i feel tht men shld respect women for their contribution to society - wht they add shld be celebrated - feminine qualities shld be celebrated as they play a vital role. wht women where does play a role in hw u c thm but is tht all women r worth? wht abt the work they do? why don't we talk abt tht? as for blaming religion - i'll stick my neck out & state tht i don't think there is anything wrong with submitting to a man - a man who respects u, values u, loves u...etc coz it can't be a punishment in such conditions coz it will come naturally as u give to the one u love. the PROBLEM is tht MEN abuse their roles in society and life for THEIR own benefit! Selfishness - heck it's a crime! well, well, where to start.

Im not walking behind any man, and hes not "ruling" our home. Probably why I am still single. BUT.. I see so many contradictions in religion, they subjugate woman, but then claim we are all equal. I also believe that is what has turned off the younger generation to religion. And those damn women on CNN wearing those Burkas arent helping us either.

But it can not go unsaid when talking about this subject, that RELIGION plays a MAJOR ROLE IN THE SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN! There are too few exceptions to this in the religious world. This is not said in a spirit to attack religion. Still it is THE BASS CAUSE of attacks on women. From the complained about predestined gender role Teaching,To not teaching girls to read, to female circumcision, To rape. You want to get a different attitude in society? Start by changing the attitude of people around you, Get your family away from these churches,they teach the gender roles, and perpetuate the problem. In most religions The man is everything, The woman should stay home "barefoot and pregnant" and dam well like it! Remember that when talking to any clergy. Remember that the only difference between great sex, and Rape is a good sales job. Tommy I don’t like to criticize other peoples life styles.
