i'm going to stab the next person who uses the term misogyny. CHECK THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD. I think the word you are looking for is mysandry. We should all start talking about it a lot more.

Well_well_welll.... why am I rejoicing ? :) because people are looking to Jesus!

I see people, even Robert.. trying to portray how they perceive the Lord and his legacy. Wonderful!

Many bones are being pointed at me.... well thats ok... but I wonder.. truly.. if some of you are not 'projecting' onto Jesus an idealized romantic idea which suits your sentimental longing for one to epitomize the qualities you desire deep down.

Robert quoted from the sermon on the mount. But Rob.. why did you not quote (to give balance) from Math 11:20

<<20Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21"Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.>>

What was that word? "repented"....

Is this not the same Jesus who said "Blessed are the meek"?

If at one time I reflect 'that' Jesus and at other times the one of the Sermon on the mount.. am I being unfaithful to Him ? No..of course not, but I'm being a fly in the ointmant of 'the romanticized projected' Jesus.

It seems that the problem some have, is they cannot imagine a 'judgemental' Jesus.. they just want the 'warm loving' one.

You see.. Jesus did not approve of immoral behavior. When I make that point.. I am suddenly a 'glutton and a drunkard'...or.. 'a tax collector and a sinner'...

Romany says.. "Foxy is the embodiment of everything Christianity is supposed to mean"
Are you sure ? Or..is Foxy the embodiment of all you would 'like' Christianity to be?

Foxy says Jesus reached out a loving hand to the women caught in sin.Yes.. and his parting words were 'go..and sin no more'

He does call us to 'repentance' -Not to 'law'.. but heartfelt change of life based 'on' that law.

Steel, I was the last one to use the term misogyny and it was quite accurate. I was referring to Only Human's post, which was in turn expressing a dislike of women.
You're right in that misandry is the accurate term for a dislike of men, but that's not at all what I was referring to.

At the risk of introducing to this thread the level of irrelevance which it so richly deserves,

Steel “i'm going to stab the next person who uses the term misogyny.”

Reads very much like something a misanthropist might say and do to both misogynists and misandrists

Col,

This is based purely on extrapolation from anecdotal evidence, so could be shot down in flames, but I'll give it a shot anyway. May I suggest that single-parent families are most likely to be unhealthy for the children based on the reason for them becoming single-parent families. Much would depend on the attitudes of the parents to the opposite sex. If the result of a bitter divorce, then yes I agree that the children would suffer as a result. I think you would see the difference the most where single parent families start as a result of the death of one parent. I was raised in such a family and know of several others, and I dont know of any offspring of such that have unhealthy attitudes towards the opposite sex (well, I suppose that depends on your definitions - I generally expect too much of men, given that my father is so capable!).

Are men necessary? Strictly speaking, no, but arent relationships usually much healthier and more fun if they are based on want, not need?!

Just when you think you got em confused one gets ya.

They are highly same sex tribal.

No man stands a chance.

Catch with the face powder.

Keep with the baking powder.

Just in case a need a man arises.

Come, come Sisters is there something you dont want to admit.
