Wow. You're right. That's totally not an example of women exerting any control over their own lives in the OT. Smiley: lol

It's a great example of a woman exerting control over her daughter's life, I guess. Wow, way to crack the Biblical code that women pressured daughters into getting married! You're like Tom Hanks or something!

Er... If that's how you choose to interpret things.

I'm going to go with "Gbaji didn't know what he was talking about and started casting about" which would make sense since you were just defending your choice of the Book of Ruth to Lolgaxe when he suggested that you actually read it. You know, instead of maybe reading it. But, hey, maybe you found a review for it on a conservative blog somewhere that cherry-picked the parts you like most Smiley: grin

Either way, the point is that the idea that no women in the OT ever had any power or influence is absurd.

If the best evidence you have of this is a woman who literally does one thing (tells some guy to fight an army) then I wouldn't be too proud of the case you assembled.

Or, you could make the more reasonable assumption that I was thinking of the female judge, couldn't remember her name, but did remember the book of Ruth, and mixed them up. Cause that totally make more sense, right?

So decidedly not an example of "a widowed woman in charge of the family finances, owning property, running businesses, etc". There is no mention of anything about her personally owning servants, ordering people's heads chopped off, etc etc.

Who do you think was in charge of that household?
If she were a good, God fearing woman of the era who followed the word and law of the Lord then it'd be Lapidoh, her husband, as the scriptures would have told her to. Unless you've got some verses showing how she behaved differently than the cultural norm, then the reasonable and logical conclusion is that she behaved according to the cultural norm.

The worst part is that Ruth is shorter than one of his average posts so he could have knocked it out in the span of a bathroom break.

Since this is the Feminism thread and you all seem bored with politics today, Notch(of Minecraft fame) has been shitlording it up on some feminists. Of course, someone in the gaming press has already jumped on the story.

Man mansplains man mansplaining: the clickbait article.

"I was manright" is an amusing quote at least.

Whenever I think I don't like my job I take a step back and try and put it in perspective. In this case, now I'm thankful my job isn't writing about other people's twitter arguments.

Mildly amusing to read of course, but definitely not the exciting career someone was probably hoping for.

Honestly, that was the whole reason I posted anything. That quote amused me more than it probably should have.

I'm probably going to use it as a defacto dismissal the next time someone tries to use "mansplaining" as their own dismissal.

It really is the only take-away from the whole article. It's pretty much "Two Morons Fight On Twitter And I Need This Site To Pay Me For An Article."

So..
My wife and I were engaged in a lively argument Socratic dialectic involving religion and sexism.. (she's a bit of a doubtful agnostic)
The particular line of dialog was regarding double standards.
Basically, my stance was this:
If I had a teenaged son and daughter (same age about) and both of them came to me and said "I just got laid by some random person" I would be more upset for my daughter than for my son.

She called this double-standard "disgusting".
I pointed out that this view of mine had little to do with religion and more to do with simple LOGIC at which I pointed out there is a pointedly stark contrast both physically, biologically, mentally, and spiritually between penetrating someone and allowing yourself to be penetrated.

Then she scoffed and called me a Trump supporter. (I'm not.)
I mean.. ISN'T there a freaking difference?! or am I really just walking with the dinosaurs on this?


You poor, poor *******. Give her what every angry and militant feminist wants: an impromptu and rough tumble between the sheets. Then once you're done, slap her *** and send into the kitchen to make yo a sammich. Trust me, it's the secret fantasy of every one of those dead eyed harpies.

Edit: What is this ****?!? Astericking mild barnyard language now?! Is this not the famous and legendary Asylum where the faint hearted dare not go, much less post lest their wan self image and dignity be ripped from their psyche via their ****? How the mighty have fallen. I'm embarrassed for you people.

I keep wondering why there is so much hate for Feminism on the internet. Then I visit their websites. You can replace the word "men" on any of their rhetoric with the word "jew" or "homosexual" or "******" and suddenly they're completely interchangeable with any other hate group. It's just... I don't know... really sad-- because I could totally get behind their initial message of equality up until I realize it is only skin-deep and they start foaming at the mouth and calling for the mass execution of all cis white men. There's something that's just extra tragic about all this-- because unlike other hate groups, this one is somehow more socially acceptable. --because any time the subject comes up, they can just backpeddle and claim to not have some irrational fear of men and insist it's all about equality. --OR it will become an argument about privilege and how great men have it no matter what their background or circumstances are. Then I wonder what they expect from men, exactly-- because there is literally nothing at all a man can say or do that isn't somehow offensive to them.

EDIT:

Reading more into it, I'm beginning to realize it has more to do with men that don't live up a certain standard than just men. In other words, be attractive to said women, otherwise you are a creep/rapist/stalker, etc. Learn to be more attractive men. Jesus ****.

Well, more so because the internet tends to favor stomping on sandcastles than building them. It's fun and easy to hate on feminism or whatever equal rights thing people are working hard on.

Let's be honest: 99.95% of it is people trying to find one fringe example so now they have an excuse for saying "I don't support feminism; those people are monsters!" and then launch into a screed about how abused and unfairly maligned they are as men because a blue haired girl with hipster glasses once said some shit on Tumblr. "Damn, wish I could support reforms in the justice system to better prosecute rape cases but, you know, once a girl said something stupid on Twitter so..."

Sure, but you have to admit that there's some very selective judgement going on here. Some groups and "causes" are deemed to be "good", and thus are given a pass when it comes to their own actions and words. And others are deemed to be "bad", and are pounced upon for the slightest thing.

I would agree, but I've yet to see even one example of feminism that wasn't "fringe." --and whenever I look, that is all there is to find. Where are all the reasonable feminists at?

Either you're not looking or you have a dramatically more lax definition of "fringe" than I have. Is calling for justice reforms "fringe"? Is addressing wage disparity "fringe"? Is bringing attention to the plight of women in other countries "fringe"? Is talking about sexual abuse in college athletic programs "fringe"? You can't find anyone discussing these things without saying "All men need to be murdered and every time someone shakes my hand it's rape"?

Well, ok then. I'm convinced.
