  Can men discuss feminism critically?

  by Paralipomenon in

  i am currently studying some of the issues of the feminist movement.

  one of my first observations is that men are really not welcome in the discussion.

  all the reference books and topics i have looked at so far are written by women.

  I concur. But there is natural order. Generally women need to respect and be loved. Men need to love and be respected.

  What the C.O. said right there on the Platform

  he started his talk before rev.bookstudy with all the gloom and doom news and then dropped the (to me) bombshell that he reads the news on line.

  yup, i could hear an intake of breath through the hall.

  i can't for the life of me remember what the rest of his talk was, although he used a box of crayolas as a prop.

  Then there was a joke I can't repeat that the DO told out in field service with myself, the CO and another publisher.

  The week after I was baptized was the week of the CO's visit. I had been working nights and so that Sunday morning was kind of half awake, when from the platform I hear, "AND YOU'RE A BASTARD AND I CAN PROVE IT!"
  
  I was looking for people to be fainting in the isles. But nothing. I queried several people over the next several months about whether they thought they'd heard anything strange. Nothing.
  
  Three years later, just before his last visit I confronted him with his infamous quote. He gasped, "I SAID THAT IN A KINGDOM HALL!" A few nights later he hauled me into the library and showed me something from a bound volume having something to do with Quebec and the Catholic Church.

  Eclipse, I think you're my kind of woman. Bellyache all you want. But the prime thing a woman desires is to be loved.

  Is it bad to be an agnostic?

  by blueviceroy in

  on a prior thrread someone asked about one true religion .

  i think that is kind of agnostic thinking .

  as i grow older and develop more perspective on life it seems that an agnostic view is really just an honest view no dogma no preconcieved ideas just observations.
