Most of the women nowadays are the worst of all since they really have no respect for us men at all since their personality really stinks altogether as well. God forbid if you try to start a conversation with one of them since they’re ready to chew our heads off which it makes it a very bad mistake right there for those of us that had it happened to us already unfortunately.
Thanks for your ministry Herb! Well-written and insightful. I am challenged to pursue the point of logic in men’s ministry. On the flip-side of what you shared, the logic works in reverse – isn’t there more to life than being an animal? Honest reflection demands something more even if one doesn’t recognize the law of conscience or “eternity written on our hearts.”
I agree wholeheartedly, Jon. Non-Christians know there has to be more to life than just existing as an animal. But they have no logical reason to act otherwise based on their unbelieving assumptions. They are caught between the reality that they are immortal souls in fleshly bodies and the logical conclusions of their godless materialism.
If you really think women having the same rights as men makes you less than a man or an animal, then you were never really a man to begin with. All these women blaming is pretty pathetic and weak,blame yourselves for not dealing with the new and improved version of women that doesn’t need a man because she has her own damn brain. It’s was bound to happen sooner or later for women to have jobs, the right to vote, t be educated and be with whoever they want to be. . To imply that these fair actions make you into a crappier version of yourselves just proves to me that men love to have absolute power over a woman’s “place” mind and money and once stripped of that power they have been stripped of their weak slaver identity. There’s really no other explanation as to why men hate feminism, they lost their power over women and resent every bit of it.
On the contrary, the whole point of the post is to point out that men have lost their respect for women as well as their respect for themselves. I also believe that true feminism does not denigrate men.
I have a good idea. First take the gang mentality, cretanism of a mentally ill burn victim man, who steals his bright child taking after the mother, and raises a combo between neanderthal ethics and smarts to crime well — the entire moral standard of such sub-breeds that beat women, break bones, and tell whoppers as a routine of daily life, is such that a large weeding needs to take place, to rid society of this type of quasi-human being. Combine that with all the stalkers, abusers, liars, fearful cowards, home wreckers, and sophisticated yet simian featured wanna-be he-men, up for removal shortly, per the major religious books, and it creates an atmosphere of hope. Until then, all the decent men and women can do, is to be content that they’ve done their best, even when dealing with outrageous lemons, and leave the culpability on the shoulders of those who deserve it — and have trouble sleeping at night, living lives of drug addiction, coke taking, and instilling this in their biological prodigy. Have no fear, there is a god, and all men no matter how hard they beat their breasts like tarzans of the ego realm, carry out god’s wishes thru his tool also known as, inspiration. (Revelations).
the content that i just read is very sadning to me as a christian
and it has raised an awareness in my soul to be even more vigalent
and model the standerd of christ before a demoralistic world.
The women’s movement taught women that marriage was slavery, that they should sexually liberate themselves and that the patriarchy needed to be destroyed. As a result, tens upon tens of millions of men’s lives were destroyed by women through divorce. Why wouldn’t they? Our anti-male government and judiciary gave them every reason and incentive to do so.
Women abandoned their traditional roles – so men followed suit – which brought us to where we are today. What’s hilarious is that people are scratching their heads and bemoaning the fall of men. What did everyone think would happen after women came out en masse against men having power and wealth?
I’m a high income earner, am well educated, have a great career, have tons in savings and wouldn’t dream of getting married or having kids. Giving that kind of power over your life to a woman is the single quickest and surest way for men to destroy their lives. I’ve seen far too many examples of how marriage and family destroy men.
The next nail in the coffin to marriage and family will be the failure to pass the Safe Campus Act – which will allow women to continue to destroy men’s lives through false allegations of rape following regret-sex. Again – the message to men will be clear: Your rights and well-being as a man are secondary to the fickle whims of a woman.
Congratulations, ladies. You’ve won. Now go forth to be strong and independent. Leave men to live lives free of women’s destructive power, sense of entitlement and pathological narcissism.
