‘I’m not interested in this stupid gender war.’

If that is so, then why keep baiting and bullying feminists? You are not only interested in ‘this stupid gender war’, you are an active participant.

‘Do you think God would create one abusive gender and one non-abusive one?’

Yes. Absolutely!

Just look at every religion in the world over the past 2,500 years. They are full of male deities wreaking violent havoc on everyone and everything.

As for women, religion has consigned them to the periphery – reduced to prostitutes, rape victims, madonnas and virgin birthers. The ancient polytheistic pagan religions treated women slightly better, but only slightly.

The only reason that this is finally starting to change (albeit very slowly) is because of that 'stupid gender war'.

@Killarney re:

I read in the UK telegraph that "The majority of churchgoers are women, as are the number of new priests."

Which of the four categories you mention do you think the women flocking to churches on sundays mostly aspire to?

'Just look at every religion in the world over the past 2,500 years. They are full of male deities wreaking violent havoc on everyone and everything.'

I thought it was doctors at the request of women murdering millions of unborn children. You got that wrong Killarney

Killarney,

You haven't told me yet how the frail 70 year old woman could be empowered to resist and successfully defend herself against that 20 year old male monster that is intent on raping her and then shutting her mouth permanently.

How could she do it?

Time to give up this subject completely, no one is going to win in the end.

Firstly Killarney writes;

<But feminism, for some weird reason, is constantly condemned for not doing enough to ,<make men's lives better. That's men's job - or are you so used to women looking after
<you that you can't do anything for yourselves?

Yet at the same time she promotes the idea that feminism is about equality. A humanitarian would help either gender, without claiming martyrdom.

She then writes;
<There IS of course a so-called 'mens movement', but from what I've seen of it, the
<primary focus of ALL its energy is in spreading bigotry, disinformation and hatred of
< feminism as the cause of men's problems.

The exact same claim that the men's movement claims that feminism also engaged in bigotry, disinformation.

Also female academics and authors also write articles that support the claims made by the men's movement.

Psychologist Toby Green wrote about how some people believe that if others do not agree with their point of view, that the person who does not agree with them either dislikes or hates them.

If any of the claims made by feminist are true and accurate, then they should be able to with stand scrutiny and challenges.

New insights and understanding can be made by challenging and scrutinising old ideas or beliefs. If debate is stifled, then ideas and understanding are stifled.

Communism tried to stifle beliefs and ideas that did not match their dogma, other Military regime around the world also do this.

I would like to see feminist more humanistic in their beliefs and approaches
