Bible refers to women as "the weaker vessel" - you know why?

    I knew a man who felt women were just slightly above animals. He just felt a woman needed to be F*cked properly and they would behave . I've known men who believe that now. That is why he/others feel men could watch porn with women on women and not be disgusted ( b/c women were just above animals ) but never watch porn with men on men. I know, there is so much incongruency and congnitive dissonance here it boggles the mind.

    Men like this deserve some time in prison and be the "female." Let's see what good repeated effing will do for them and how it puts them in their place! How do they like being treated "slightly above the animals?" They need a taste of karma.

    Sick pigs. Men who think like this are not men at all.

    Sab: I agree with your sentiments about what has happened on this planet. If everyone's strengths and weaknesses were used to benefit humanity it would indeed be a different place. Wasting time over suppressing women and competitions over who is more powerful does none of us an iota of good. It's pathetic. People need to grow up.

    Humans need to TRANSCEND gender.

    Hi Meangirl,

    Thanks, appreciate your notice. Looks like you can really kick ass that premise of a "weaker vessel" right out to left field!

    Hadit, way to go!

    @ Sab,

    I totally agree that each gender compliments the other. I don't like to be the target of man bashing either. Let's not go there...

    @ clarity,

    I admire your strength and resolve. It infuriates me how (long time) single people are treated by JW's regardless of gender, but women seem to get it especially bad.

    @ Hadit,

    I can appreciate your fury towards male chauvinism but as I said, let's not get into man bashing. Each gender has it's own unique characteristics and these should be celebrated not denigrated. One compliments the other...

    PS: You have another PM, clarity.

    Women are referred to as the weaker vessel because they can't hold their beer as well as men!

    I challenge you to a duel, Gladiator!!

    I'll admit there are plenty of women who could drink me under the table. I'm a cheap drunk...

    maybe there is reincarnation and this guy will come back as a woman. I can pray for karma. and an ugly chick too, he can then feel regection from men too. maybe that is too harsh.

    no-- we want him to be a pretty woman so the guys will want to as he said F*ck him into submission. sorry.-- he'll like that.

    I guess I have a mean steak in me.

    I say that but I could never do it. I am such a wus.

    V665: Where did I advocate man bashing? Where I said "men like that. . .?" That is not man bashing that is men who act in a certain way getting what they dish out. I have never advocated man bashing and never will. Please reread my posts. I don't agree with EITHER sex bashing anyone. The world would be a better place if that did not happen.

    Hence my transcending gender comment. Forget about what gender people are and SEE the being/person behind it.

    Natch, Sabastious!!!!

    But the most significant point, is that the Bible was written by MIDDLE EASTERN MEN... So very few people understand the TRUE significance of that fact!!!!

    It was quite an eye-opener to me, when I first left the JWs, took up belly-dancing, and came into contact with REAL Middle Eastern men... Quite the mental earthquake, when I realized that men like these WROTE THE BIBLE.

    Really woke me up, I can tell you that. Suddenly "Lot" and his "daughters", the Levite who chopped up his concubine into 12 pieces and sent 'her' around to all the tribes, and a lot of other misogynistic sh*t in the bible made perfect sense - from a Middle Eastern MALE viewpoint...

    And after realizing that, I knew that I would NEVER view the bible as "divinely inspired" or "sacred", again!!! Nor would I ever worship that Middle-Eastern male "god" ["gods"...] again, either!!

    Worst thing for a Christian; to fully understand just how Middle-Eastern Male the bible really is...

    Hadit,

    I didn't mean to imply that you WERE man bashing in the first place. It's just so easy to go there if one is not careful. (The slippery slope thing is a small worry of mine.) I respect you and other intelligent women like you profoundly. I still stand by my statement about acknowledging and celebrating differences between people though. (as long as the differences aren't harmful)

    Christ treated women wonderfully. He challenged those middle eastern men you are talking about.

    Jesus was ahead of his time really.

    I want to do a video on the mistreatment of women from a JW perspective, I have been doing a lot of thinking about it lately.
