broad hips, to the end that they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children."

OK, from a design perspective, yes, "broad hips" does indeed correlate with bearing and bringing up children. Or do you think this is better suited for the test tube and daycare industries?

Boy, that nasty Luther. The nerve of him to label woman as a housekeeper. Why we know nobody's done that in American culture throughout the 20th century...

Oh, I know, I know. It was the "sitting still" phrasing that upset you and sent you on a crusading tirade...the same kind of tirade that you rake the apostle Paul over the coals for saying "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission {a type of "sitting still," doncha think?}." (1 Tim. 2:11).

And, of course, The Crusader believes that not just Luther screwed up by pointing to women's childbearing role, but Paul did as well: "But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propiety." (1 Tim. 2:15)

Well, at least that verse proves The Crusader's point about faith + works...can't get any more laborious than bearing kids.

I've seen a few replies that weakly defend a couple of Luther's quotes I posted, but nobody has dared tackle his quotes on the Jews yet. He wrote violently against the Jews, not even restaining his desire to have them killed. Any takers? Ok, if you're too shy, then at least take on his stirring up the Peasant Uprising against the Royalty, and then switching sides and going with the Prices, whom he asked to "strangle the peasants". This should be interesting.
