"deaconesses do not want to remain within the bounds of their office, but want to arrogate to themselves “all kinds and degrees of teaching” and administer “thus a kind of auxiliary pastorate” – F. Bente, '17. And that's 1917, not 2017. There is nothing new under the sun.

Remember when the LCMS broke fellowship with the Lutheran Church of Japan for having deaconesses that publicly teach theology? QT below

Boomers are like "My mother lived a horrible life so that I could have a better one. Anyway, because my parents had a tough life, you should also have a bad life. Things shouldn't get better, they should get worse. But not for me, just you, because you're young. Fuck you."

Dear Gen Z: My mother ate LARD sandwiches when she was a girl. She lived in a dirt floor shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing. She wore dresses made from flour sacks. Fuck you and your whining about the cost of a mocha latte.

The sexual revolution destroyed women's bargaining power and men have been the primary beneficiaries ever since. Before the 1960s, if a man wanted physical intimacy, the price was commitment. Marriage. A ring. A promise before God and family. The sexual revolution removed that requirement entirely. Women were told that casual sex was empowering. That waiting was old-fashioned. But men and women are not the same. Men can walk away from casual hookups. Women are left with emotional attachment and potential pregnancy in a dating market where commitment is no longer expected. The cruel irony is that the movement marketed as women's liberation primarily served men's interests. Men got access without commitment. Women got freedom without security. Look around at the results: record-low marriage rates, record-high antidepressant prescriptions among young women, and a generation of men who see no reason to grow up. Who was really liberated here?

The Trump administration is now telling people who entered the country legally to “go home” and apply for green cards there. These are immigrants already legally working in the United States.   It was never about illegal immigration.

They’re not coming here to become Americans. They come here to make America another India.

People ask why I say the Baby Bust is mostly *cultural.* The dynamic below points the way. Humans in nature are short-term thinkers. It's the job of a *culture* to point us to the long term. Our culture is failing to do that. With only short-term thinking, few people will choose marriage and parenthood.

Nearly half of the founders of billion-dollar tech startups are immigrants

Modern dads are more helpful than fathers in any historic or prehistoric human society ever, period, and there are no close 2nd place medals. Men in the modern industrialized world are more helpful at home than has ever been observed in any primate species We should get medals.

Men will never apologize for not wanting assholes and douchebags like her in Congress.
