An example of the *real* reason women must be kept out of power

Too many women who have fought the power structure will question and subvert the dominant paradigm. Please take notice of the powerful women speakers who have begun to exert themselves; on both "sides."

You will also note more reports of anti-women and women-are-evil incidents from the corporate media as they try to "put the toothpaste back in the tube."

Thanks to this post on DU.

Thank you for raising this point.

A bit off your topic and I won't post it again, but there was that national review article, praising Phyllis Schflyy's efforts against the ERA, because if passed, the wording would have opened the door for homosexual marriage.

Women in power, or sometimes just activist women when they are fully vested in being Woman-what ever the historical context- can be the arbitrators of social change.

One great book on this is "Unbound Feet" By Judy Yung

Because of racist immigration laws, Chinese government upheaval and corruption, nearly all first generation Chinese women immigrants in the San Fransisco area (where the research for the book was done) were prostitutes. The subsequent liberation from the initial damage over generations had a lot of women hero's. I had to give kudo's to the white Protestant woman who-- absolutely outraged-- fought for these women, getting them out of horrible situations sometimes getting themselves in danger.(of course they attempted, and in most cases succeeded to convert them to Christianity, but that was what you did at the time)A fascinating book. Think I'll read it again.

Where "The leaders of a new, Christian movement" are concerned with keeping the power structure as well as the congregations - MALE and HOSTILE!

(Maybe that's not so new :crazy: )

The article also mentions that the men in the "new, Christian movement" think that men want a more intellectual religion than women do. They probably think that it's intellectual for men to be assholes.
