Feminism Rant, do you agree or not?

[T_Laurich]

So I used to have some Femisitic ideals about me, (believe it or not).
And my past girl friend and I seemed to drift further apart the more I tried to be the man I thought women wanted.
One day I proudly stated that I wanted a woman who is in charge, and she harshly replied "I know" and it kinda shook my world.
The more I tried to be catering to her, and letting her take the lead, the less she seemed to like me.

Anyways that past few sentences might not have any significance to you, but to me they mean a lot now.
I had another girl tell me a few days ago, "Women love the modern man like we love a puppy dog". She also followed with "the reason I think so many girls go for the 'bad guys', is because they seem to be the only guys who act like men anymore".

This made me puzzle...

The modern man from kindergarten has been told to sit down, shut up, don't lead, don't take charge, don't use any energy, listen more, and everyone is equal.
By the time we get to Highschool, we are told: you need communication, equality works best, lead in a "positive" way, etc.
By the time we get to college, we are told: Women need to step up, Men are the same as women, Women can do anything a man can do, Don't be chauvinistic, stop the persecution of women, communication is key, social networking is the future, we need to nurture the earth, and etc.
By the time we get a job, we are shown: Personal connections create opportunities, social networking is the future, communication is key, energy is forbidden, don't use brute strength, everyone is equal, and depending on your job, you can see your promotion go to someone else due to a quota.


A mans whole life we are told to be less like men if we want to thrive...
The qualities a man has to offer society are very quickly becoming useless.
Television depicts the father as stupid, dependent 'souly' on his witty children and unfailing wife for his every mistake.
Media depicts men as being everything I have stated above and so much more...
Even the way relationships are portrayed in today's media, the more you let your woman lead, the happier the relationship.
Yet it backlashes violently...


Before I continue my rant I want to pause...
I am not saying that we need to abuse women and treat them like dirt... That is not my case, or my solution...

I am just saying, I think someone needs to help show men how to be leaders, because society is only showing us the opposite.
The church needs to show us how to be men...



I go to church, and I sing a song about Jesus being my boyfriend, then I listen to a sermon about how to love people, or how to forgive, or how to nurture, or how to deal with hurt, or sorrow, or my emotions...
We stop in the middle of Church to go talk to strangers about our weeks and catch up on all the 'gossip'.

I am not saying men don't have needs for this...
But a man has a different mindset than a woman... When I look at Christ, I don't see a "caring boyfriend" (cliche')... I see a Man who was whipped one lash short of death, who walked till his legs gave out and then walked some more, who carried a cross that buckled his body underneath Him, and did it all to protect the ones He loves...

For a modern male it is easy to see how to be a man when you are in a war type environment... We got movies like BraveHeart and Gladiator.

But how do you be a man at the home, or with your friends, or with a woman...
This is seriously driving me crazy.

Anyways I think everyone gets the idea of my rant so I will stop...

I can relate to what you are saying, brother. I have been happily married for 39 years now and have seen the shift of what a 'man" is supposed to be in this world. Now, at my age, my own family informs me daily of what I am supposed to look like, how I am to act, dress, what I am supposed to do and such. IT will come to a point where I either remain a doormat or I finally have to 'man' up and express my own ideas. For instance, I like low V-neck shirts and longer hair...my family informs me it is no longer in style. I enjoy mixing foods together at the table...they get embarrassed. I like a beard, they like clean shaven. I like a huge variety of music, they prefer only certain styles. I like art, they hate it. I like buying 'old' and refurbishing and they enjoy buying all NEW stuff. When I eat, my little pinky finger sticks out. THey make fun of it and label me 'gay'. This list goes on....it only shows that each of us are different and original but they so far have failed to transform me into their own image. Reluctantly, I am doomed to endure this for the rest of my days on earth. I cannot change them..I have to resolve this within myself....as so will YOU.

Great observations T_Laurich. Its not an accident. It is a deliberate, successful attempt to weaken the men, destroy the foundation of the family and prepare the way for global domination. "No one can break into a strong man's house and take his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house." (Mark 3:27) Consider yourself to be psychologically bound. While the women were being liberated, the government took control of the youth and brainwashed them at will. Open your eyes a little wider still. Not only have most of the men been castrated, mentally (indoctrination of ideals implanted through television and public education) and chemically (testosterone is depleted in males from radiation and GMOs), but a majority of the alpha males left are selfish sex addicts, and conscienceless war mongers. I'd say the luciferian government knows exactly what they are doing. The boys are growing up without a masculine identity or role model, causing them to identify with the stronger female influence, hence transgenderism and homosexuality. The women naturally and instinctively gravitate to the stronger and dominant who more often than not are now female leaving them confused and applauded for lesbian experimentation. Other women refuse to submit and follow their male counterparts because they are by definition the more dominant. All along they quietly (or not so quietly) suffer, longing for a real man to take charge. The men not knowing how to give the women what they need retreat to their computers escaping to pornography, trying to satisfy their carnal needs, never being fulfilled, reaching further into the darkness. Righteousness has been traded for pleasure, nobility for popularity and strength for complacency. Be thankful that you have seen the truth. This is not how it is supposed to be. Consider what you are eating. Most of the crap out there is either loaded with estrogen, or leads to estrogen. Time to grow 'em and grow 'em big. The world needs men, manly men. I encourage you and any other male who reads this to embrace your position as leaders. Put down your damn video game controller and do some push ups. Read a book or two and educate yourself so you have something to contribute. Be someone who is confident and demands respect. Don't wait for a girl to approach you, tell her what time you will pick up, and tell her she better be ready! When you pick her up you better know where you are taking her, be creative, show some interest in more than her bra size. Come on men, BE MEN! Now I have to get going before my quiche burns (just kidding). I'm going for a workout, have some raw eggs and protein and then teach my boys how to tackle, because football's coming up.

This rant reminds me of aspects of the Social Contract Theory.

Hi Laurich! It's been awhile.

Even from one like-minded Christian to another, our morals and personalities and talents differ quite a bit. And of course, there's a cultural curve ball imposed on us as to what it means to "be a man."

Not to sound like a total relativist here, but I guess the challenge is figuring it out for ourselves through God's grace and direction.

And another one finally turns on the light, dispelling darkness of deceit, so that he can see clearly and make correct decisions.
