Interesting conversation over on the “There’s hope” article.
I just had an interesting conversation with my 22 year old daughter. A friend of hers is going to a music festival with her boyfriend. My daughter told her friend to be careful and if she sees any trouble to get the heck out of there. Sounds like great advice. The kind of advice I gave both my girls starting from a very early age.
Then my daughter proceeded to tell me that she will hold her friend’s boyfriend responsible if anything bad happens to her friend. So, I asked my daughter, if the boyfriend is responsible for anything that may happen, does that mean her friend must do whatever her boyfriend tells her to do. She, my daughter, gave me a weird face and walked off.
From a very early age boys are taught to be responsible for women, what does that mean a women’s role should be? No, women like to be able to do whatever they want and them some white knight in shining armor is supposed to pick up the pieces. I’ve seen this in sooooooo many situations and relationships my whole life.
I’m really just sharing some thoughts. There are plenty of men that I’ve seen use women as their mommy as well. Yoke equally my friends…but what, exactly, does that mean?
I, too, have seen this everywhere. Especially in the last 20 – 30 years. It is best to remain as far as possible way from such women. Which means staying the heck away from most (not all) women.
If a woman is so stupid that she lacks any sense of self preservation, either alone or with a man, then that woman should leave the gene pool and not reproduce. Assigning blame in such a situation is the mark of a fool, only children have to and should rely on another person, generally speaking, that person is a parent.
If a woman or a man are so stupid that they subject themselves to a crowded venue for whatever reason then they most definitely need to leave the gene pool. There’s a reason for the Darwin Awards, try real hard not to get one.

The vaccines will take care of the gene pool. They will have no choice.
I pray the great reset is not what these ass-hats are planning for us. I am all for a great reset, FREEDOM for all of mankind. “”GO BRANDON””
I like your reset. I have had a song in my head for weeks now. It’s LET FREEEDOM REIGN.
How about “Leave Brandon”?
Should I take the bait and provide commentary? I think I’ll sit this one out and just watch the boys play and have their fun commiserating.
I definitely don’t want to bore LITTLE m.
Well hello thank you, righteous Abigail!
Lets face it fellas, they have over half the money and all the pussy. Simply don’t play their game, they have home court advantage. Stand tall and be a true male.
True true I have been around enough of them to believe they are born with an attention gene. Right from birth. It is look at me ,pay attention to me,see me. Not saying it’s a bad thing,but don’t pay attention the way they want it. No pussy for you!!!! Wonder how that works out for the mentally ill that think they can magically change sex?
Stand tall and get a flesh light.. be discrete…hide it in your beer can. No one will know.
?
Equality would indeed seem to indicate a mutual exchange of obligations.
The blue pill is female.
Readers Digest version…
Men are hardwired for results with little emotion. See nail, whack it with a hammer.
Women are wired emotional, see new shoe store, weep for joy.
From a biblical perspective. Eve was the one deceived and Adam choose to rebel. Gen 3:13, 1 Tim 2:14
God imparted the command to Adam to tend and manage the Earth, not given to Eve. This does not diminish Eves role to that of a mere subject or servile role. God sees them, male and female, as equal but with the man having the responsibility and accountability for the direction and actions of the family as a unit.
Gen 3:16 To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be contrary to[a] your husband,
but he shall rule over you.”
The contrary translation is admittedly a tough word to translate as most translate it to ‘for your’ as opposed to contrary or controlling. Translations like from the ESV or the Net Bible (who gives reasons for contrary preference), imo, are likely closer to the truth.
All that to say that women seek the leadership of a strong man but in the same vein also will undermine if possible. Being emotional and more easily deceived is why women do not make good leadership models as responses tend to be emotionally driven. Yes I know there are tons of good examples of women leading well and men being complete screwups like we here in caukistan are suffering thru today with TruStupid
Again, from the biblical perspective good leadership is the man leading the way, as he will answer for his leadership. But it is the fool that does not take into consideration his wifes perspective to weigh into the decisions going forward. Just because the man is ultimately going to answer doesn’t mean the women gets off with not answering for her own actions either. Ask any woman thats borne a child.
I see you read the last paragraph and answered the question. Very well done, thank you. My father keeps saying that God is removing his hand of protection from the US because the US has turned it’s back on him. Christianity is falling.
I believe ole’ dad is right, but maybe for a slightly different reason. As with the answer from Brian.
While etymology and biblical hermeneutics are very important tools, I think you’ve got to keep in my that it’s really quite a love story, that has been provided and preserved so that man can know from where he came…and what will be his end.
Eve rebelled as did Adam, but weren’t they maybe for different reasons? Eve-for knowledge, (and I lean towards) Adam-out of his love for Eve….I mean, he knew she screwed up…he was still ‘clothed in light’, so to speak. Rather than lose her, he gave himself to be with her. Perhaps a foreshadowing of what God did: rather than lose all of those who were made in his image (as Eve was made from Adams rib) due to their disobedience and rebellion, He chose to become flesh and give himself up to perish in one last attempt to allow a free doorway back to Himself….I believe He did it as much out of love for man, as perhaps to conquer the fallen one as promised in Gen. 3:15
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance – that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” William Paley or Edmund Spencer…(does it matter?)
I agree with your father.
And not just in the US, but for the whole “West.”
I am not sure Christianity is the faith Lord Jesus intended to build. People’s faith in God’s ability to dictate scripture is perhaps a near fatal blind spot. I do not believe in an unknowable God, because that is useless, but I don’t know that we should be taking other people’s word for it that they have developed a special connection, especially if they are not going to show us how to get that connection for ourselves (as Jesus did).
Later people like Paul and Constantinople come along and completely undermine His work by inventing a bunch of walls that keep a separation between God and man. This makes God useless to us unless again (unless we trust the Priests, which is foolish). I do believe Christianity is a heretic religion. I don’t have the wisdom to know if it has value to God.
I was just having a conversation very similar to this with my significant other.
We are a society run on feelings and not facts.
Only facts and reality can a successful society make.
Feelings are made for interpersonal relationships, which include marriage, having and raising children, etc.
Women, despite their many and varied protestations, operate best in the realm of feelings BECAUSE they carry and bear children. We have been the gate-keepers of “polite” society. Men, left alone together for too long, become somewhat feral and hard. Women left alone for too long together devolve into back-biting and infighting based on perceived slights and jealousy.
As a side note, God also said “Husbands, continue LOVING your wives. And you wives, keep having DEEP RESPECT for your husbands.”
Why would he say that? Simple. Men crave respect more than romantic love and women live in the realm of romantic love.
So man can show love by logical-driven things such as providing a safe home, food, and security. He may often forget romantic gestures.
Women may express love verbally and physically but forget to relax and let a logic-driven man take the time to formulate the plans and do what’s best sans emotion for the family, and end up a harpy constantly hen-pecking and deriding her partner publicly, eroding all respect for him.
Women bond over talking and sharing feelings and experiences of emotional context.
Men bond over competition and team work.
Neither one can easily thrive without the other, yet generations have been fed the lie we are “just like” the other.
The penultimate result? Increase in transgenderism/gender fluid/agender etc etc.
A woman who dwells more in her masculine energy is not necessarily a man trapped in a woman’s body and vice versa.
A biological Male cannot truly know the female brain, sexual development, craving for children, or how we see the world no matter how many hormones they take. The same is true for biological females.
A man’s very identity is rooted in his genitals, his testosterone, his logically-wired brain moving him through this world.
We are headed for utter disaster.
Pup – I have told my wife numerous times that she can ask me to do something or she can tell me how she wants me to do it, but they are not necessarily the same.
Pup,
That was great. All of it.. For whatever reason, I’d say my wife was a so-so mother but she is an amazing grandmother.
Actually, after long thought I have now come to the opposite conclusion:
We are a society run on too few [gut] feelings and too much on “facts.”
Western females, on average, have been entirely brainwashed to sell facts – even if they’re selling feelings as facts. Because what they lost is the ability to say ‘my [gut] feeling says no, so I’m not doing it!’ And pass a little of that approach on to males.
Just look at our famous commenter AA. Instead of being proud of that girl in front of the school board, she can only twist the situation into “facts” to support her pet theories.
To not pick solely on AA, I see so many commenters here running on rationality-only, that even when I point out the Scientific Method doesn’t apply at certain societal questions anymore, because we either have vastly incomplete information, or we cannot re-run the scenario (to test it, or try out different approaches) due to practical or ethical limits – it’s like me talking to a wall.
And when -two years ago- I personally found, and believe to understand the concept of God, while I was puzzling things out such as ‘Original Sin’, I always found to my astonishment that the as-much-as-possible-logical explanation turned out to be completely in line with my gut feeling (which I hadn’t trusted very much up to that point.)
And on top of that, feelings often lead to “you’re not telling anybody else what to do; now that’s a big plus!”
Lol…what the hell are you babbling about?
Little bit of advice…start paying closer attention to some real thinkers around here. Some are on this thread. Others, in no particular order, are AP, Ivor, HSF, BL, Uncola, Georges…and I know I’m forgetting some others, but hopefully you’ll notice them.
Also, might help you to begin a study of this site.
Good luck, LITTLE m.
It really sticks out that you never replied to a single point I made, these last 2 days. You’re only generally belittling.
Enjoy your search for “manliness.”
I certainly did. You need to read my comments, even those not directed to you.
My answers are all there. Better yet, read AP’s responses. He explained it all better than I did. Maybe you’ll take it better from him since he’s a man.
I despise betas with a passion. So don’t expect many more replies from me.
Again…go lift some weights.
I can read very well, thank you. I only replied to you on the Only Hope thread after reading through all your discombobulated musings. You afterwards did not say anything new nor further. (But I suspect you wrote some of the ‘anonymous’ shit slinging posts, towards me.)
I cannot even despise you. You’re just sad.
I don’t post anonymously, so apparently there’s another human out there that sees you for what you are.
Of course you think I’m sad…you’re too stupid to keep up with me. You help make my points so clearly.
Is it cookie time yet, Abby?
Such a comedian. Ya know, it’s too bad you’re such a coward and I can’t give you credit for being funny.
But…I can narrow it down pretty well as many here do not spell my name correctly. I know the few who do.
I appreciate this balanced response. We were created to compliment one another. It is wise to resist division and strife.
Pup,
Great comment. But please look up “penultimate” and “ultimate” definitions.
Best,
Capn Mike
Pup,
Well said! 👍
Observation: the most fortunate are spouses who each have siblings of the opposite sex to serve as a learning laboratory while growing up in the years before saying “I do”.
Well said!
This video sums it up perfectly.
Haha
Done.
She would feel a lot better if she took him by the hand into their bedroom.
Oh there is sooooo much truth to that video.
Yep…spot on.
Love it! Good laugh for me as I recall what it was like to raise two girls, now in their 40’s. I have a girlfriend as old as I am (65) and she was never married. This horseshit of your young girls is the same as they get older – it takes marriage for a woman to finally grow-up and get a clue. My unmarried old gal keeps me laughing as I wonder (sometimes aloud) when she will finally “Grow Up.” Thanks for the laugh!
My wife is 50 and from time to time she will admit that she should have listened to me and followed me instead of being emotional and irrational. But, then she turns right around and acts emotional and irrational. I will give her credit in that she has learned and accepted my steady mind on Covid.
One of the very best times of our married life was the last 3 months of her first pregnancy. She knew that her “wiring” had been bombarded by the forces of pregnancy-we laughed and joked about her bouncing emotions openly and that meant a lot to both of us. Never again were we able to openly communicate like that and get problems swept out of the way so easily.
And then there are concerts like this and men like this….by the way, this story was at the top of the story list on Yahoo this morning. What a great influence on society.

Yoke equally my friends…but what, exactly, does that mean?
It means some of us walk alone.
Sad.
Yes.
Not really.
I have no broken dreams.
I’ve always liked this song, but never have the lyrics been more prescient.
I still subscribe to the adage that if it weren’t for them having female parts, they would be hunted for sport.
Listen to Uncle Ted…
Interesting ideed. My dad also gave me that advice. If you see trouble, get out. If you can’t get out, keep your eye open to the nearest exit. Don’t start anything you can’t finish. You are accountable for any trouble you cause. Don’t call me from jail, I didn’t raise you like that.
Why should her friend’s BF be accountable or be held responsible for her poor actions?
