Being Perceived Despiser

The incessant burden we place on women & girls to live smaller, terrorized lives to navigate unaccountable men. Just get a gun, just learn self-defense, just quit your job, just move, just be smaller, quieter, invisible so men aren't inconvenienced.

Why would she smile? Would you expect a young man to smile and be warm ? Or it's only from women that you expect

why are you on your due date thinking about abortion

The real rub here? Many want their husbands to remain chaste DURING marriage as well... (cough Lily R... cough cough...) Let the reader understand.

Jesus doesn't call His bride a harlot, slut, whore, or prostitute, though she had previously been promiscuous. He presents "the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27).

"You're killing a baby." She's 11. It's her father's. What exactly do you think should happen here?

I admired Jack Posobiec until I noticed him joining up with the Subversive Right a couple of years ago. If he hadn’t lost me then, he’d be losing me now. He’s framing LotR just like Stone Choir does everything: If my enemies like it, it’s bad; if they hate it, it’s good.

I suspect you didn’t intend to disrespect your wife, and so you might have been surprised that some people, myself included, criticized you for speaking in a way that is unbecoming of a husband. I think you made a mistake. But your points here are not sound. 1. I never said you used that word. I said that’s what you called her (while contrasting her sin with your own virtue). “Promiscuous” is an adjective, the nearest nouns for which are “whore” and “slut.” 2. They are all pejorative terms that refer to people who engage in sexual immorality. They all carry negative connotations because they refer to shameful acts. If the nouns are more evocative than the adjective, that owes more to their Saxon (rather than Latinate) origins than to their meaning. It’s the same reason “pulchritudinous” is less evocative than “hot.” The words all mean the same thing, and we should not refer to our wives in such a way—certainly not to millions of strangers. 3. My phrasing was not in the present tense but rather the past. (See: “called” versus “calls” or “is calling.”) But even my description of your wording does not imply the present tense. By way of analogy, “she was promiscuous” : “he called her a whore” :: “Jeter was a Bronx Bomber” : “he called him a Yankee.” (Derek Jeter does not currently play for the Yankees, and the final comment does not suggest that anyone thinks he does.) As I said, I don’t think you meant to disrespect your wife. You might have the best of intentions. None of that is my point. You made a controversial post, which included both admirable comments about grace and inappropriate language that in my estimation is unbecoming of a husband and not to be recommended to others—hence my public commentary on your own public statement.

'Male masturbation may have an adaptive benefit: it flushes out damaged, stored sperm.' New Oxford research suggests that the longer sperm are stored before ejaculation, the lower their quality, with implications for men trying to conceive and IVF treatment. Find out more ⬇️
