That men do bad acts contrary to this God-given nature is inevitable, but is not a indictment against masculinity itself and has nothing to do with hormones or whatever excuse you people are looking for.<br /><br />This looks very strange all around, except to understand you're afraid of the idea there could be evil within masculinity. But I've certainly never heard such a thing in church, unless it was a new age one like my dad appreciated. Original sin offers a completely different interpretation of our nature, although at least men can blame Eve, so the opposite gender blaming goes all the way back. And we know women's labor pains were a punishment by God for her transgression, while men's punishment is that we will die someday, and we have to work for a living.<br /><br />Myself, I'm willing to take the interpretation that God made his commandment against eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil because he knew they would break it, but it was the doorway to conscience. You can't really be guilty of anything besides following instinct, if you have no awareness of yourself as a moral being, if you can't see your behavior from the outside, as others may see it, or how God might see you.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-39199537704757510672017-11-29T02:59:45.666-08:002017-11-29T02:59:45.666-08:00Re: The above pictures.

I mean, wouldn't you need a least to have personally observed a male libido at least once to become an expert. And can anyone imagine a circumstance where Andrea Dworkin could have observed a male libido. I mean, The Dworc's very presence in the same room as a male libido would have the same effect as a super massive black hole has on light<br /><br />Still I'm glad you posted a pic of the Dworc. Ever since my prostate was taken out, I've needed to use Grandpa's little helper from time to time with all the attendant risks involved. I think that second pic is just the thing I need now that my video of Roxanne Barr singing the National Anthem has gone on the fritz.

You allow someone else to control the terms of the debate. Feminists and their supporters like you and the author believe there are flavors of masculinity, some good, some bad.

We could talk of immature masculinity or toxic masculinity or confused masculinity or other various qualifiers if that feels less threatening to you.<br /><br />Trump and others like to talk about the gang violence of Chicago, and there may be some girls involved, and hand guns can be the great equalizer, but it does look like male hormones make an important difference in behavior.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-57259092185606081762017-11-28T08:14:04.570-08:002017-11-28T08:14:04.570-08:00Here's a valiant even if obvious opinion piece...Here's a valiant even if obvious opinion piece by Bari Weiss challenging the mantra “believe all women” as dangerously flawed, like the Rolling Stones article gang rape retraction.<br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/28/opinion/metoo-sexual-harassment-believe-women.html<br />----<br />From time immemorial, men have been allowed to just be people while women have had to be women. I thought feminism was supposed to liberate us from this flattening of our identity. It’s supposed to allow us to just be people, too.<br /><br />What we owe all people, including women, is to listen to them and to respect them and to take them seriously. But we don’t owe anyone our unthinking belief.<br /><br />“Trust but verify” may not have the same ring as “believe all women.” But it’s a far better policy.<br />---<br /><br />Perfectly timed she also mentioned the new failed "sting" operation by Project Veritas to get the Washington Post to publish false accusations against Roy Moore. Its a good joke that an organization with the Goddess of Truth in its name uses fraud and deceit to try to expose the bias of others. And we don't even have the luxury to feel relieved that an incompetent effort failed.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-10651938179233076612017-11-28T08:01:03.942-08:002017-11-28T08:01:03.942-08:00AO, you think there's a problem with masculini...AO, you think there's a problem with masculinity?

And teen fiction like the Twilight series and the adult 50 shades of grey show there is something in feminine libido that WANTS to be submissive, as long as her prechosen male.<br />----<br />Fear of the male libido has been the subject of myth and of fairy tale from the beginning of literature: What else were the stories of Little Red Riding Hood or Bluebeard’s Castle about? A vampire is an ancient and powerful man with an insatiable hunger for young flesh. Werewolves are men who regularly lose control of their bestial nature. Get the point? There is a line, obviously, between desire and realization, and some cross it and some don’t. But a line is there for every man.<br />----<br /><br />Mythical language might be superior to ordinary language because it reminds us there is conscious and unconscious fantasy involved in all participants, and to the degree it is unconscious it could be considered self-victimization. Innocence itself is fantasy, the idea we have no responsibility to the predicaments we find ourselves.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-59629137199322205162017-11-28T06:12:45.093-08:002017-11-28T06:12:45.093-08:00" — accepting our monstrosity"

So we have the amazonians on horseback with bows and arrows fighting against destroyers and machine guns. I really think this was kind of a "Freudian slip" on the movie makers part because they show women without the capacity to innovate while men are looking at the world for what it could be and constantly changing it. In the feminist haste to condemn all men, they are also condemning indoor plumbing, central heat,the World Wide Web and much, much more. And I fear they will destroy it all before they finish<br /><br /><br />whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339343160301118530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-31540311215929608882017-11-28T05:56:11.606-08:002017-11-28T05:56:11.606-08:00Hm.
