Am I the only reader who talks to her newspaper? Who chokes on her steaming cup of café con leche and wonders out loud about fundamental issues of decency and fairness?
Why, oh, why do we continue reading that Wendy Davis, a state senator who wants to be the first Democratic governor of Texas in 20 years, left her daughters, then 2 and 8, with her then-husband, Jeff Davis, while she pursued a law degree at Harvard University?
Given that he is the father of one of those daughters and the stepfather of the other, it would make more sense to write that he stayed with their children, or that the children stayed home with their father.
And, given that no one disputes that fact or seems damaged by it, what is the big deal? What does it say about our society, about us, that we continue to penalize women, but not men, for pursuing their dreams?
Some say the issue is not what Davis did or didn’t do, as a mother and as a wife, but that she fudged on the details as she runs a campaign that heavily relies on the narrative of her private life: teenage bride, early divorce, single mother of one, brief stay in a trailer, married again, another child, law school, a husband who helped pay for her education, divorce after a long marriage....

I don’t know what to say about that. I have read one commentary that states even Satan will be repentant in the end, but rekindle his jealousy and then be slain.
Perhaps it’s because the test for the Angel ended with the fall from heaven. Man having been put to the test, gets every chance up until the end.
I think of it as an example for the universe. Satan said God’s ways were too harsh, and that man couldn’t possibly live by His rules. In the end, man will live by grace, and the transformation that takes place just prior to Jesus second coming.
Those living when Jesus arrives again, will have had to go through tough times, and made decisions that will bind them to Jesus forever without them having seen death.
Didn’t mean that any of these people would not go into heaven other than by Jesus’ grace, but I think you know what I meant.
Sometimes the narrative is what it is because someone has the most pervasive voice, not the most persuasive voice. Leftists have always been more mercenary about defining the narrative, and the right usually finds itself on the defensive.
From what little I know about the Davis’s it sounds like your narrative is more accurate than what the lamestream media is attempting to force-feed us.
Hey. I didn’t bring it up. It was used as a slam against women
the other reasons believe are because we were made as people, the image of God, with free will, creativity, etc. secondly because the angels were created before God madeeverything, they saw Him make everything, and had no excuse to rebel and think created beings could overpower God. for most of us our sin natures are there simply because we’re born to sinful parents, and it’s not anything based on anything we’ve yet done. so mankind gets salvation if they receive it in the proper context.
And I said no I’m not going to ponder that. If I did I would have to tell you to ponder what would’ve happened if he had done it differently. So what would be the poit?
The episode was brought up as a slam against women, so I brought reality into it
Obviously men can’t take that. Could you all let it go?
I believe all of that plays into it. I’m not sure we can know all the reasons at this point. In heaven we’ll be able to ask the big questions, and get the truth from the source.
no’,yoiu took it on a tangent into contraception and abortion. andthgen made this out to be theguys’ faulkt,m when en have no say at all whether a woman aborts or not. he can’ t do anything to save that kid, or abort that kid.
you just further the lie women have no real power over their own actions andare perpetual victims of men.
No. The article was about Wendy Davis and abortion, which is Davis’ platform.
You guys brought in the meeting of the he-man-woman-haters club.
In the scope of abortion, when this group chimes in over an abortion issue, putting all women on the same side of that issue, I’m going to call you on it
No
of course not all women are pro-aborts.
we are duscussing the ones that are pro-abort. we can lump all them into that.
as per the law of the land men havezero say if a baby isaborted or not. we cannot go to court andget it stopped. we cantgo to court and demand it occur.
the decision legaly falls only on one person, the woman. as with any decision, others may influence but we can’ t force it one way or the other.
now you want to talk about men and women having sex outside of marriage like there’s no tomorrow, that’s plenty of blame on both sides there because both are making bad decisions.
You’re not reading the tread that you are commenting on. So your comments are worthless
No, I saw Professor and Columbia University and I thought that one of her former students is now a journalist who wrote the story, and then called up her former Prof. for enough quotes to make it look like the article was written by the Prof.
Hence, the (her?) was in my reply.
MM, I am surprised you would gang up.
This line of conversation came out of a comment straight out of the he man woman haters club, with a comment, on a thread on Wendy Davis, the abortionist, and, in particular, her apologist, the author.
The comments, in the second comment of the thread, went directly into how women of all stripes, are unhappy.
You chimed I later with a plea for funding. I am so glad I withheld, on the grounds, that I maintain, especially now, that this is an anti woman site.
Read the thread then ask are you sure?
My kids are my job. They are my boss. before they came along, I had a boss, whom I was ready to give up in one second if he interfered with my vocation and ten my husband. Which did happen, and I quit.
My taxes take away most of our income.
Could that be a bigger problem than women wanting to work.
In NY, I have four sisters. The one who doesn’t work has a husband with an 8 figure yearly. Everyone else works.
I grew up there. None of the women worked. That’s taxes.
If women did not work outside the home, and let men work, it would be a whole lot better.
but birth control changed all that.
Sex is no longer a marital exchange. Therefore, there is abandonment and strife.
Therefore women are on their own.
That’s the deal you guys want, and as usual, you want no responsibility for it.
I never had a date in high school. I got married at 32. No guy wanted a girlfriend who wouldn’t and the girls put up with their crap. I didn’t. Got a wonderful fighter pilot out of the deal.
Stayed home with my kids. They’re great, too. Have a treasure trove of like minded friends.
Make me a sammich, Mirta.
