Leaders of the national Christian men's ministry the Promise Keepers decried the "feminization of men" in response to allegations that the group is sexist and anti-gay, as well as defended their plans to rally at the University of Arkansas' taxpayer-financed stadium.
"Men break out with feminine attitudes; they've been feminized," the Rev. Robert Smith, senior pastor of Total Outreach for Christ Ministries in Little Rock, said Tuesday on behalf of Denver-based Promise Keepers Christian ministry. "They're not being a man for their women. There's an Eve in every man until it's taken out."
Smith and Steve Chavis, Promise Keepers' national spokesman, were in Little Rock to address plans by the National Organization for Women to hold a counter-rally to protest the June 10-11 Promise Keepers event at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
Promise Keepers says that, for the $89 price of admission, men are taught to be both servants and leaders to their wives in the way that Jesus was a servant and leader to the church.

What would a counter-rally to Promise Keepers be?
Promise Breakers?
The Democratic National Convention.
Anti-gay? I would hope so, or they aren't following the Bible.
ROTFLMAO bwahahahahahhahaha!
LOL
Imagine! The horrors of teaching men to be faithful, responsible husbands! How much more sexist can you get?
$89? I had thought this ministry was funded by donations.
Anything bothers the gals at NOW , the only thing that brings comfort to them is a abortion, they never saw a abortion they didn't like.
If it bothers the panty-waisted AP, then I'm all for it. Look for a sellout!
"There's an Eve in every man until it's taken out."
No way.
In the Feminist mind, teaching men to be REAL men is sexist.
The DNC.
How much would you be willing to bet that they will PAY for use of the stadium JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE? This is whats wrong with the anti-christian left and the reporters who work for them, they INVENT an issue. It was a stadium built with public money and this is supposed to transdlate to "You're establishing a religion by alowing this" It is lie after lie with these people.
I think what will bother them most is that these men who are being taught to be "masculine" will make them more masculine then the "NOW" (NAG) gang, and they can't stand that because they want to be the ones who wear the pants in society. Is it any wonder that at one time the President and vice president of NOW were both lesbians, and walked and talked like Bull Dykes?
NOW/Patty Ireland was awfully quiet for 8 years while women were being assaulted and raped by the former Arkansas governor. And now their panties are in a bunch because men are aspiring to be the best fathers and husbands they can be?
Putting on my DNC-approved, la-la rose-colored glasses, gee, that makes sense . . .
Yep! Any man who's not castrated is an oppressor of women.
I'm glad someone said so, finally. I am getting sick of watching the wussification of the American male. It's good that the Brethren are attempting to do something about it.

Intersting how David Hammer phrases this. Any doubt what his opinions are and what he wants to draw attention to? Hmmm......
I suppose the openly anti-Christian NOW is entitled to the use od said stadium, Mr. Hammer?
