In the effort to quash the "evil feminists," many innocent women have been harmed, myself included. This is destructive, this is hateful, and this is not of God. This witch hunt will continue, and people will be hurt until those who know better stand up and put a stop to it.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I don't understand what this thread is against anymore. I don't know if people noticed, but everybody clearly has different definitions on feminism. For many, feminism means women's rights, for others it means male hating. Nobody is even attacking the same thing apparently. And then I see people blaming the downfall of marriage on women in the workforce, the LGBT groups, American women, etc. How is that helping anyone? Why not realize that neither man or woman are completely blameless? There are many factors that have contributed to the downfall of marriage, it's not just one isolated thing.
I would love for once to see people recognizing that issues are not so simple, and speak with humility and love to one another. We are not kids . End of rant.

http://christianchat.com/member.php?u=161851 No one is suggesting women deserve to be struck with acid, and I'm not sure why you are coming off with this, frankly. No one is saying that men should beat on women and subdue them, or crush them under foot. That's not even in the scope of this discussion. Everything you are saying is about Islam, not Christianity. Are you ok? Do you need someone to talk to?
Yes, and I really didn't answer the question, either. 
These sorts of women were around when my mother was young. She was confronted more than once about "settling" and not having a career. She usually gave them a heck of a what for.
The idea is the same in every generation. Yes, women have been oppressed. I myself have found myself at the hands of an abuser. But just as many men are not like that. I have six brothers and none of them are abusive or would consider holding a woman back. I wouldn't minimize anyone's experience, but demonizing all men for the sake of a few is like saying all Christians are sanctimonious and smug. Well, maybe a little smug, but only because we know how the story ends.

I agree with these ideas: "...Nobody is even attacking the same thing apparently." "...Why not realizing that neither man or woman are completely blameless?"
I also agree with post 133 and post 136. If Praus just have changed the picture for A MAN, we would have called it "machism". Both, men and women, have asked more "rights" (and I would like to insist on the "myth" of the Amazons. Was it a feminist danger in Greek culture too?
I think so!
These dangers are as old as History.
Both Machism and Feminism have DANGERS.
If I were in Ucrania, no doubt I would show MY PARTIALITY by attending the activism of Femen. I may say "they fight for their rights", but I would be JUST there to see how the protest: Social nudity is one of those dangers.
If I were an activist of any group (a thing I am not) I will show -at convenience- whatever thing that brings me some joy, rights and an oportunity to walk all over I´m pleased, and that´s why many countries are divided in difterent political parties: You vote for this, and I vote for that.
Does this applies to sectarian denominations?
We are all different! You are men or women, and those "causes" mentioned here to be fought for and are sought as rights, but each fault was (and is) individual. I cannot blame society for my wife was bossy or too demanding. I cannot cast guilt on groups or particulars, without recognizing I shared my faults (my sins) in a relationship that ended up for each person´s decision.
Divorce -or abortion- is an individual decision. If I hire a woman, instead of a man, it is that I would consider the is more professional than a man and, after those working hours, I could invite her to go out and, if I am married, I could think she can be USED to show my company has too many "nice" people and, hiring people like "this", I´d promote the image of my company. Why not hiring old people? Why not hiring STERILE women and single-again women who plan to get a children with one of my executives?
Society is a mess. She says one thing and does another (just for money, sex or any other convenience). I ´d do the same for personal convenience; but I´m called to do things right.
Luk 6:37 "Don't judge others, and God will not judge you. Don't condemn others, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
Mat_12:37 Your words will be used to judge you. What you have said will show whether you are right or whether you are guilty."
Joh_7:24 Stop judging by the way things look. Be fair and judge by what is really right."
I could be "machist" at convenience.
I could be "feminist" at convenience and BOTH ARE DANGERS.

I don't even, the disrespect some have shown in this thread as I've quickly jumped in, particularly some of our sisters in Christ is just really sad and tragic, whatever your view on various feminisms etc.
John 13:34:
'A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.'
With that I leave, and I pray that God's Spirit brings restoration, peace, calm minds and most of all, His love back into this place, God bless you all.

I'm reading the thread backwards. I'm wondering how a man goes about 'buying' a foreign bride? Does he go on 'foreignbrides.com' and click on 'buy now for free shipping', and put her on his card? Is 'buying' a bride paying a matchmaker? I didn't know women were for sell except through mafia prostitution rings and rings that control illegal workers they take prisoner and that sort of thing. Even if there are matchmaker fees, it's not really 'buying' the bride. Some cultures have dowries, like bride prices. Is that what you are referring to?
I married a foreign bride, but met her while I was working overseas. But I can see why some American men would want to marry Asian women who haven't been contaminated by feminism, a loose philosophy on divorce, and several other mindsets that have invaded even the churches. I think my wife's country is a good place to find a wife among the Christians there, but I love my wife, so I may be a bit biased in this regard. But I also believe there are plenty of godly potential brides in the west who hold to Biblical values for those men who are unattached and still looking.
