Is this site for real? I've found some mixed reviews on it. Some think this woman is just a maverick, doing her own little thing. Others say she's a crackpot or "effing nuts!"

She wants protected status provided under the pre-feminism gender-roles cultural contract.
Imagine waking up tomorrow to find
that unbelievably rape is now legal.

You would be freaking out, telling everyone you ran into this is crazy- something needs to be done... now!!! And then every man you told this to just very smugly and condescendingly says...

"Hey... not all men are 'like that.'"

If she's willing to live by both sides of that contract, that isot in and of itself a bad thing.

It's the DOUBLE standard I hate, the "I want THIS when it benefits me, but THAT when it doesn't" mentality of feminists.

Among the slew of articles I found on this site, this one is very good:

LAF Theme Articles

The War on Fathers

Contempt for male authority - as if to say, "Give me a break, father sure didn't know best in my life" - is everywhere around us. We're swimming in it. You see, men, boys and masculinity itself have been under withering national assault for decades. On today's secular, matrix-like world stage, where God's reality is seen as discredited myth, and alien philosophies and sexual obsession embraced as enlightenment and liberation, we simply have lost sight of who and what we actually are. Men are meant to be Christ-like - righteous, strong, courageous, assertive, butt-kicking, sacrificial doers of what's right. Women are meant to be their righteous, strong, courageous, noble helpers and partners. [This is a fabulous article that clearly states so much of what we stand for here at LAF. Do note that it deals with some serious issues that are not suitable for young readers.]

Well, the war on father article started out good.  I was ready to copy the link and have a couple people read it.  Then, about a third of the way down, they stopped talking so much about men's rights and started preaching the gospel.  Sorry, any arguement that requires me to take as fact that a magic sky man makes everything happen loses all credibility.  Shame, it was going in a really good direction until it shot off into Narnia.

Absolutely.  Fuck those Christians.  The ideas of these enlightened secular humanist progressives are working out soooooooooooooooo much better.

I am not keen on this group. I can't really say anything bad about the quiet Christian women or the Christian women who hide their past or the Christian women who just want to preach their little hearts out. They all make the men happy because the men feel secure knowing their wives are following the rules of the faith to the 'T'.

But, they seem so fake. It is as if (and I know am way out there for saying this) serving god is not just a noble thing to do but believing that they are not part of this world is almost as bad as taking drugs to numb yourself. Cause that is really what they are doing.

Good, righteous, powerful, ever knowing God has this all under control and if we all just did what God said the world would be a better place.

Well, God turned his back. They all say it yet they say he weeps over the destruction.

Well, maybe he does but that isn't solving the problems. That is just ignoring them.

I could say that God is not going to sort this out and that mankind has to sort it out and they just say, "Have faith". Faith is great but it is really just a coping skill. It is all good to pray and mix with other nice Christian women and I too for quite sometime thought the four walls around me as in a home was all that mattered and I made all the frills to make it pretty and homely but I think when you have sons you have to learn they are not going to look for the security in four walls and be content with it having laced cushions etc.

No,... sons are going to take the world head on. They are going to risk and venture and they are going to enter the horrible world outside the four walls. You worry that you are going to get the call as many, many other mothers have, where the police tell you your son has been murdered or committed suicide  unnecessarily and you are going to have to face the mirror and say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, was there any power for me to change this". And the answer will come back, "Yes!, you could have helped. God gave you everything you needed to make the world a better place".

Amen.  My experience with Christians is that they will listen to opposing viewpoints and will shift their own views if they see they are wrong.  Not so with feminists.  Feminists and their male toadies are ideological brick walls that spit venom when questioned and literally don't know the first thing about listening.

I gather you missed the debate on "Is the Catholic church doing good" on BBC. (I am a catholic BTW)

Like the intellects said, "The church has all the down trodden low class poor uneducated people on their side, but any intellectual who questions the ideology is meant to go to hell".

I think the churches do good for the lower class. Maybe, just maybe having them have health and education will be a bad thing for the church but maybe it won't. We will just have to wait and see.

I was a member of a unitarian church for years, and grew up going to lutheran, catholic, and non demoniational services; btw, Im a staunch athiest/objectivist
but I will say that the christian gospel has a potential to touch folks hearts in the right way

I was raised in the Catholic church. Catholic girls had a reputation of an easy lay because they rebelled against the strictness as teenagers. I have to say that I think there was a number who fitted this profile.

But I raised my children strong in the faith. I did it for 2 reasons.

1. So they had someone to turn to when they felt alone... and...

2. Because I think the morals are important.

I have met lots of Christians from of all sorts of groups from America over here in NZ. They are doing God's work reaching out to us unprivileged men and women. (in their mind)

I am always nice to them but I say, "I like you as people but I really don't like the way you say only you have the the truth and condemn all other congregations".

Did you know there are over 130 different Christian groups in America?

If only they would stop fighting each other they could be a good strong force to be reckoned with. IMHO

BTW, I raised my children to like all people.

Oh they'll listen except when it interferes with their chivalristic tendencies. The ones who mix with secular PC teachings with the gospel infuriate me. Of course they then wonder why men aren't too interested in the church these days.

SInce you claim to be a Catholic, let me introduce you to a doctrinal concept called "Free Will."

It's God being the great cosmic libertarian:  "I am giving you life.  And not making you a robot.  Here's the world, and here is your user manual.  Your life will be better if you live by it.  If you don't, shit will cock-up, and there will be consequences."

People don't seem to realize that part of God making the bad things go away would have to include restricting your right to choose the bad things you do.  There would be no personal volition.  No human nobility.  How could something be noble, without the free choice to behave ignobly?

I've run into both kinds of Christians in my life: Some are remarkably tolerant and will discuss anything with you in a reasonable way. Some fundamental Christians, however, are remarkably stubborn if you don't accept every iota of their beliefs. And you are going to go to Hell if you don't follow (their interpretation of) the Bible in every way they see fit.

I'm personally not interested in slamming anyone for their religious beliefs or lack thereof; anyone claiming to know the ultimate truth in that way is just off the mark. But I do draw the line when people are preaching at me for my own good. I don't have to listen to it.

Edited to add: My religious / spiritual beliefs are: I think about it a lot, I'm not a Christian, and I unfortunately have no idea what the ultimate truth is.

Another aspect: Maybe humans are simply INCAPABLE of knowing the ultimate truth - just like your pet cat does not see the chain of events leading up to its can of catfood. The can is just there. The cat is incapable of understanding the overall system.
