Incredible amount of gas blowing through here...
1) People don't always go to religious school for moral instruction. My parents sent all the kids because the quality of education received was far and away better than public education....ie for the math, science, reading, writing.....
2) I ended up an atheist...so is my dad....of course the women in my family,who all went to private catholic school, are shall we say "more spiritual".
3) Parents who send children to a christian school are quite aware of the rules and agree to abide by them. That includes morality rules which are always ambiguous.
4) Tolerance is a two way street. Sorry LGT and atheist thugs. This is the problem with the left wing...they are just as scary an intolerant as the right wing.
I dont agree with the fundies positions...I do agree they have a right to them
Spoken like a true man !
After all the feigned outrage is over, the simple question is, Why would lesbian students attend a school that teaches homosexuality is a sin ? More PC propaganda from those most clueless.
Not. This is about financing a lifestyle, it's not about sex.
The main difference between these women and feminists is that feminists want the government to be their sugar daddy.
This is not unique to the wall street gold diggers...I can assure you the women in the upscale Atlanta suburbs have the same attitudes and behaviors. I suspect this is true throughout the country in upscale suburbia. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
May I be the first to open the door to the societal problem of female obesity ? No wonder women want free healthcare, they need it more. I suppose we will hear the it's the patriarchy ! This certainly helps me to understand why women spend more money on healthcare, even when removing for pregnancy costs.

The dishonesty i am referencing is women over reported their reaction to heterosex and under reported their reaction to monkey sex....ie their rating (subjective) response did not match blood flow (objective). They did not accurately report what the biological reaction was....consistently.
I think the most interesting part of this post, which TCF completely ignores, is the consistent willingness of women to lie about what they felt/experienced. I can certainly draw this back to personal experiences...women are fundamentally more dishonest, and don't seem to have any moral struggle with this. OK all you radical feminists, let's all say it together, "the culture makes us lie !"
Good for you recognizing it. It's incredible to me the amount of navel gazing that goes on at this site by middle aged women. You'd think they're still seeking acceptance from the cool kids.
I'd be more impressed if Obama cut off all international funding that did not have a direct relation to preventing military conflicts. Sorry, but our economy is in the worse shape it's been in 80 years, the banks are essentially teetering on complete collapse, and we are applauding restoring funding to enhance mexican "choice"....hooray !
Glad to see some things never change. Covering the inauguration of Obama and we still have to hear about Hillary and her supporters. Rebecca I suggest your change begin with releasing your Hillary dogma.
Many of the repro-rights that were lost in the bush years were implemented by VOTERS not Bush. It's great to have a boogeyman, but most of BS complaints are really a problem with the majority views of the general population....even Republicans in the minority can get propositions added to ballots. No, the bigger problem feminists have is they continue to alienate the very people they need to effect change. Keep on keeping on.
PS...Women and children first is not chivalry or an orderly withdrawal plan. It has always been about continuing the species....darwinism ... with men sacrificing/risking their lives to ensure their gene pool continues. Given the virtual elimination of that possibility today.....maybe it is time for "every man for himself". I am sure today's strong fabulous women would have no problem with that.
I certainly don't want to be in the position of supporting George Bush, but you mentioning the girls splashed by acid is just ridiculous. There will always be pointless acts of violence that occur which doesn't change the fact that Afganistan is in a better place than when we went in. Would you say that the US should be invaded and liberated based on the woman who set her boyfriend on fire in your backyard ?
This is another subject that requires attention. With every study ever done confirming that children do better with a father in their life, I would like to see the government take steps to make this clear and incent families to stay together. Revamping family courts and divorce/child support laws would be a good start. It would also be beneficial for feminists to stop pushing the big lie that women can do it all....your hurting our children.
I agree that women should not be left out of a stimulus program. Unfortunately the author seems to think this is a big giveaway..it's not. The intent of the recovery package is not just creating jobs, it's to stimulate the economy for long term economic benefits. It might be good to keep this in mind when looking for free handouts.
"Her male colleagues would never be subjected to this speculation and judgment -- about their fitness as fathers and how their decision impacts generations of men."
This is a completely ridiculous statement.....even for TCF....They actually would be subjected, but only by the feminist echo chamber.
