I distinguish hard and soft left by levels of hatred. A moderate liberal abandons standards because of feelings towards the underdog while a hard leftist hates non leftist things and wants to destroy them.

Ah, so you’re actually not presenting your arguments from a basis of rationality. I think this might be part of the lack of positive response.
 
I found out she’s into New Age stuff. I see that as a good sign because it shows she has a spiritual heart.
 
You can do the same with people on the right. Some might hate some groups and some want to help them, but differ from the left in policy prescriptions.
 
Sorry, but is this comment for real? I don’t have any academic qualifications in philosophy, but I like to think that I am at least rational and not “very emotional” or “negative”. I am a woman, in case it is not obvious.
 
Update: I brought it up with my girlfriend. I see a problem. Any discussion that upsets her disturbs her vibration level.
 
So, it really isn’t a problem talking about philosophy and religion to women…it’s a problem talking to someone that believes in vibrations who happens to be woman in this case! 😂. Got it now!
 
Most people in general don’t have a very deep understanding of Christianity. As a result, they end up with a lot of misconceptions about women’s rolls within it. Most casual knowledge about Christianity in the US is heavily seeped in Protestant viewpoints that present very inaccurate pictures about Catholicism. One of the things that I realized in converting from Protestant to Catholic was the completely different take each one presents about women and their roll in the church and family. Within the Protestant rubric, although modern women are allowed to preach, the traditional role is essentially that of a willful child who needs direction and correction. The father is always seen as the head of the family and home, with the wife as a dutiful servant. I found the Catholic family seems to have a very different viewpoint. Because of the veneration of Mary as the Mother of God and the “new Eve” women, especially mothers and wives have a much higher value and exist on a much higher level of parity with the father of the household. Respect from children, especially sons, is much more prevalent than in the traditional Protestant family where the son seems to subjugate the mother as soon as he reached puberty. Also, Catholic women, Nuns and Sisters, when not devoting themselves the family have been much freer to pursue some very high level intellectual endeavors. The leadership potential for a woman of God is pretty much unlimited, whereby, Protestant women don’t have the same encouragement. I think that because of mainstream brainwashing, women especially feel like submitting to God is sign of failure and don’t see any freedom in it. Perhaps more concentration on Mary and her strength to counteract the idea that she was being subjugated or was irrelevant would be helpful. And of course, pray the Rosary. When it comes to getting help with women, Mary is the best place to go.

Yes, they were secular. My girlfriend is spiritual not religious looking into Chinese and Buddhism. She’s especially upset that although I don’t hate anybody, I wouldn’t go to a gay wedding.

It’s the secular mindset. You can believe anything you like, so long as it does not conflict with the over-riding ‘dogmas’ of secular society. Your not wanting to attend a gay wedding may well be interpreted as you being in some way homophobic and bigoted, even though this may not be the case.
