Feminism, can any good come from it?

[JamesG]

Any woman who does not respect her husband as the head of the household, honour, worship and obey him should be burnt at the stake as in oldun days!!!

Like hell!!!

Who says a woman is inferior to a man? Who says she should be his personal slave/ Who says ‘he’ should be head of the table!!

Men hae careers so why not women too! Contraception why not? If the man cannot or is not willing to buy the jonnies then the responsiblity falls to the woman to take the pill!

Who supports these families? It is all well and good pontificating but what happens when the family just cannot afford another mouth to feed? Do those who say ‘no to birth control’ do they stump up the money?

No disrespects but I do not think a woman should have to agree to sell her body to the devil just to please Rome!

Who says a man is ‘head of the table’! Why should not a woman be? I abdicate that role to women any and every day.

you just proved my point. thanks

I wonder which teachings of the church you don’t agree with.

premarital sex, contraception, sanctity of life, papal infallibility,eucharist, immaculate conception, and holy orders:

Sixtus, you must have been watching Archie Bonker show again!
I’m Queen at my house and there aren’t any heads on our wall not even deer heads>

This is a moral theology thread and the Catholic Church has the best guidelines for living as they come.

The King and I (also meaning christian Lordship ) we had three children and are happy about that. It is never a piece of cake but we do survive.

It is never beyond God’s loving family and He has the riches and supplies us with our needs, not neccarily all our wants.

I did not work when our children were little because home was like a full time job and if you truly look at some of the womens faces that yousee today you will see the strain of the ones trying to be supermom and so the two jobs.

Carreers are fine for those who want it but the moral part of it is you should not try to have the cake and the frosting and end up with a mess on your soul.

I think the early feminism would not have condoned a lot of what goes on today and are probably turning over in their grave hearing all about it. Dessert

I agree that maybe other candidates had problems (credit, drugs, etc.), but otherwise the most qualified person deserves to get hired, not somebody who did not even know how to do the job.

On the other hand, I can assure you that deciding who is “best qualified” is far from a simple or easy numerical decision, especially when there are 10 or 15 or 35 or more applicants. Many of those who were not chosen will think that they were better qualified than the person selected.

“Best qualified” means trying to find the particular person in the pool of applicants who best fits this job. Years of experience may not even be a factor. It’s quite possible that someone with no experience in that particular job may turn out to be the best fit, based on other factors.

Ugh. That attitude’s not going to get us anywhere.

Since when is anyone, male or female, owed a job? It’s nowhere near the government’s responsibility to provide for your employment; all the government must provide is equality of opportunity. Affirmative action violates that principle.

Besides, this sense of entitlement to something because of ‘past wrongs’ isn’t doing anything to improve our political/social situation. If others have basically the same (or better) qualifications than yours, they deserve the job, regardless of their gender, race, etc.

Just because you personally benefit from a policy doesn’t make it the right one. Whatever happened to sacrificing a bit for the common good? And why don’t you put yourself in the shoes of the woman rejected from the Univ of Michigan law school, whose place was given to a much less qualified student, all because she was white? The road goes both ways.

Explain to me how any woman would have gotten hired in a non- traditional job if not for affirmative action? The job that I was hired for was at a coal mine in their warehouse taking care of mining parts. It was a well paying job and a number of the older mechanics wanted the job. I originally applied for a job as a coal miner (no joke) but when the man that was head of personnel saw me he asked me if I would rather work in their warehouse. Not only did I get chosen for the job but I was chosen over less attractive women. There were other jobs besides warehouse clerk as well that were opened to women. The easier jobs were given to the most attractive women. The most unattractive women were hired to work underground in the most dangerous and hardest jobs so in the end the men win out anyway. That is why I do not feel bad that I took a job from a male worker.Not only for that reason but also because they hired another man for the warehouse job who was the head of personnels brother-in-law . His brother-in-law didn’t know any more about mining parts than I did, yet I am the one who took all of the flack from the male workers.
