Stacey Abrams helped launched a new Women’s Initiative at Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics (IGP) last week, focusing on economically empower women and girls.
(snip)
“When asked about what an economy that focused on meeting the economic needs of women and girls would look like in an ideal world, Abrams noted that “part of the launch of the Women’s Initiative, which is embedded in IGP, is exactly that question. We know that when women and girls are lifted up, everyone rises with them. We are working together as fellows and within this Initiative to think about how women are not only uniquely and disproportionately impacted by our global challenges, they are almost entirely the solution to several of the challenges we face.”
“Digital equity, both here in the U.S. and abroad, is a critically important issue for women and people of color, which means for women of color, it is often the question of life and death,” Abrams shared. “The urgency of this moment is not lost on me. What is being done through the Women’s Initiative, what is been convened by IGP is an opportunity to bring new voices and bring an array of leaders together and not simply have us come together and bemoan what is happening or even articulate the problem. What is exciting about this and why I’m so eager to be a part of it is that our task is solution.”
“We are supposed to find solutions, leveraging the scholarship of this institution, leveraging partnerships with other organizations, including ones that we’ve been a part of, and we are bringing our own lived experience,” stated Abrams.
Hmmmmmm...... it sounds a lot like the attitude of the women hating FReepers on this thread towards women.
# 1 is actually Adam, whom God says is responsible for sin entering the world.
Romans 5:12-19 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
Says the misandryst.
1 Timothy 2:13-14
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
(He should have never listened to her) Again:
1 Timothy 2:13-14
New International Version
“13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner”.
.. The trespass is in the blood. Man-Adam carries the blood, not the woman.
The Divine Blood came by The Second Adam. Impossible through a woman
1 Timothy 2
NIV
1 TIMOTHY 2
1I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

.. Just always admiring the Proverbs 31 woman, seldom if ever taught and memorized, in Western culture anymore.
What are you gonna do, eat everything?
Actually, there have been fantastic ladies,
Examples:
Moses mother, Samuel’s mother, Deborah, Ruth, Sarah, of course the virgin Mary the mother of the Christ....all preserving the Scarlet Thread, even Rahab recall.
In our “day” Florence Nightingale comes to mind.
Men: Noah, Enoch, Abraham the father of our Faith, Moses, the repentant David, the prophets Major and Minor, Joseph, Mary’s husband, John, Paul.
And of course in the political sphere of our day, Eisenhower, Reagan, the early allied air missions with no fighter protection WWII. Audie Murphy
Unfortunately, how many of these examples are the focus any longer in Western schools, colleges, and universities any more, if at all.
Why applogize. Face the facts. The truth often hurts.
Barefoot and pregnant comes to mind.
You take care of the house and kids and I’ll take care of the barn and livestock.
You can smell like apple pie and baby talc and I promise to wash off the smell of cowshit and dirt (and clean my nails - and take off my boots before I enter the house.

Meanwhile Ms. Abrams is busy eating all of Cleveland Tennessee.
Delusional
Several times over, I would suspect. There have been great men and women in the past, and will continue to be, but Stacy is a disgusting wench.
If she’s talking about all that methane gasses she and her other BBW contemporaries spike our environment with, then maybe she’s got a point.
