What you are saying, your caveman opinion about women, is no different than what an ISIS leader or a Taliban would say.

Western Civilization is a shining diamond in world history and one facet of that beauty is the fundamental principle that men and women are created equal.

There is no doubt that our culture has some enormous flaws, but treating women with respect, as equals, is definitely not one of them.

And up until the last century or so, Western Civilization evolved to it's high levels with women having little say in how it was governed. Women had legal rights, and were to be held equal in value and dignity, but mostly were not given a role in running things outside their own families.

Men and women are not equivalent any more than men and children, or women and children, or men and dogs. Each has a defined role to play in the hierarchy, or should the children rule over the mother and the mother over the father, and the father over God? That’s not Christianity and only became western civilization after we started declining.

That’s a sweet but platitudinal post

Christianity stresses that women are to be valued equally as men which is appropriate but only up until recently have women been considered equal

There is no debate to that

And the extent to which we have elevated women in many cases over that of men is a symptom of a culture in decline not ascendancy

Though I don’t blame women for the power they have been given

After nearly 60 years of observing and loving and raising and being cared for and later being responsible for women I think they are not the equal of men in ways beyond physical generally speaking

The history of the world was not what it was because men are assholes but rather a reality men understood as did women

Let the power go out for two months

Hear me roar will quickly become a meow

What tickles me though is my ancestral lady relatives a few generations ago whom I knew as a boy actually were women who I thought had guts and steel but they didn’t crow about it or scream for validation

Those women were a lot tougher and yet maternal and they weren’t as strident yet faced much more hardship

We’ve kinda spoiled y’all to be honest at least here

You must really hate children! I think they’re fantastic, personally, but it’s always better if they’re not in the room when the men are discussing matters of importance.
