Again you have dazzled me by dividing the issue rightly. And while I was reading through that post Genesis 3:16 was going though my head "To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”(NIV) Of course Women have had suffering. Why do you suppose that is?


Adopted

No. What I am saying is that men who DEMAND that supper be cooked each night come hell or high water and think that all women should keep house like June Cleaver or Harriet from that other TV show, look like Barbie dolls all the time and tend to their every whim as if they were a genie from a bottle are mostly to blame for women being interested in feminism. This plus the centuries of near-slavery and being treated like property that spawned the sufferage movement, etc. You obviously know the history--think about it.

I think it is an abomination for women to flatly dismiss about 50% of the population (men) as unnecessary evils. But you can't really blame them for thinking that way. Not that it isn't wrong, not that its not a sin but "The Bible says..." only goes so far when your husband isn't holding up his end of the bargain. Works both ways, I'm sure, but more often than not its the man, for example, that doesn't care whether or not the house looks like a war zone then says something like, "Honey, what can I do to help you get this place cleaned up? As if two or more people don't live there.

Moving right along...yes, I agree with you on the abortion thing. Its the most vile, selfish, unspeakable sort of evil to invade the womb and kill an unwanted child because its inconvenient. Those who are pro-choice should move the choice back a bit to whether or not she--or he for that matter--chooses to have sex. Take two asprin and hold them between your knees and you'll be just fine.

Tom I probably was overreacting. What folks are throwing away is almost as horrifying as what they're keeping.
