[Vision2020] Monstrous Regiment!

Keely,

Shouldn't you be at a family reunion or something. I am glad that I can 
provide such entertainment value during such a boring time in you life 
with all of your reading and such.

To answer your post I have to preface it by saying that my wonderful, 
quiver full minded, gracious wife of 25 years, showed me the u-tube 
"inflammatory bit o' media" in the first place. I don't typically go 
looking for anti-egalitarian, anti-feminist material. I didn't major in 
Womens Studies in college.

I would rather talk about how the liberal, intolerant, "public school 
for all and at all costs", crowd who want to justify additional jobs 
and offices by having the home school folks report to the local school 
district "Reichsmarschall". The local school district will then have 
need for these additional staff and resources and thus more money in 
their piggy bank just like the New York public school system. That is 
the underlying motivation behind day time curfews and truancy laws and 
"attendance records for drivers license" laws that we now have. "Keep 
the children in the seats past the age of 16, so that we don't loose 
any public funds for empty seats." Follow the money trail.

How is that for a topic? I tried to get you to comment on it off list 
but you ignored me. So here you go! I'm sure your tongue and keyboard 
will overflow out of the wellspring of your heart with additional 
sarcasm and venom as it has in your previous posts.

lemeno, Doug

Doug, have you ever in your life had an original idea, stated an 
opinion all of your own, or suggested a topic for discussion that 
didn't have some inflammatory bit o' media as its starting point?

Would you like to discuss the many ways equality, victimization, 
feminism and activism play out in the lives of women?  Are you 
interested in telling us what you think about patriarchy vs. 
egalitarianism?  Do you have an experience, anecdote, or insight that 
has caused an evolution of thought or a shift in perspective regarding 
culture, gender, or sexuality?  For that matter, would you care to 
offer all on your own a summary of religious right conservatism and its 
approach to society?  Or maybe share with us how these things affect 
your wife?

I may disagree with your point, should you ever develop one, but would 
you meet me halfway and work up something that doesn't originate from 
someone else?  Perhaps it could go like this:  "I think women are never 
so victimized as they are by feminism, and society is better off when 
men and women remain content in their Biblically prescribed roles in 
the home, church and family."  I'd debate you with enthusiasm, knowing, 
at least, that you were capable of developing, stating, and defending a 
position.  Any response other than what I've written here to your movie 
suggestion

addresses Phyllis Schlafly and her lady friends, not you.  I found her 
silly, irrelevant,

and tiresome 30 years ago.  You can weave together a position that 
would invite honest discussion . . . can't you?

I can't decide if you're like a worn-out, pitted, carelessly hung cork 
bulletin board or a flashy, flickering neon light outside a seedy 
motel, but surely you're able to do something other than channel the 
thoughts of other people.  Send the link if you believe in it so 
strongly, but rather than just lobbing it into the crowd and then 
running to hide behind a full skirt or a full quiver, could you stay in 
the circle and engage with people?  Because, gosh, it looks a little 
less than manly to argue your most

deeply held beliefs via YouTube, and I know you're quite concerned

about such.
