I think it may have been a bad choice of words on my part. … She does claim to have Catholic roots but her words don’t seem very Catholic to me. .
Yes, her words don’t seem Catholic.
Men (especially faithful Catholic men) are treated like and viewed as animals by feminists. Denying men respect as human beings is bound to make some explode and you can’t blame them. If it was the other way around and men were trashing women like feminists do to men would you be as dismissive?
I am not so much frustrated with Nimzovik, its just that pushing his issue is an inappropriate use of this forum. He should have a blog, and he can put these links in his blog and make his whole case in his blog, and refer briefly to his blog in his signature, or have it so you can find it when you click on his name here. Its interesting to hear what issues matter to people, but he advertises his issue relentlessly. Its like getting spammed. Its like those pop-up, in-your-face ads that take up your whole screen.

This makes no sense. No one on this forum is doing that. I have done a lot of reading here and I do not hear of men viewed as animals here, or being denied respect, or trashing men. If so, then respond as Nimzovik does, but he is responding to
no one saying this. Since no one said it, it should be dismissed. Otherwise, his rants sound just like a war on women. Which has no place here at CAF.
Feminism is relevant on this forum because the Catholic Church is under attack from it. Look at the Leadership Council of Women Religious (LCWR) who was cited by the Vatican for “radical feminism.”
Yes, radical feminism is undermining the Church. It is another manifestation of the work of the evil one, IMO. So you are right on this.
Understanding complex emotion is one of the things I admire about women but many women are easily swayed by emotion.
That’s very often most true! Men too, but women more often. And those with the evil one’s agenda use this.
The LCWR is a perfect example this. They don’t care about gay marriage or abortion because the people in favor of them are experts at using emotion to manipulate and corner the argument.
true and sad
Lastly, men certainly fraud women but we have systems in place to deal with that fraud (i.e. alimony, child support, easy accusation of rape, support groups, etc). Men have none of that! Read Christina Hoff Sommers “The War Against Boys” and you will see how we coddle girls and trash boys.
Just read Amzaon reviews for that and it looks like an excellent informative book, reflecting views I have on education. I remember when I was teaching being told of studies that complain teachers pay too much attention to the boys. Well, the girls are listening; the boys need attention so they can get pulled into it! (I am talking about elementary age here; you are trying to teach writing for example, and it takes more teacher attention aimed at the boys to get them as involved as the girls. At recess the boys would go wild playing basketball and the girls would sit in a huddle in the corner of the gym writing in journals…)
But then, I have my own education ideas (adopted, not original to me): the boys should run and play til they are 12 and* then *begin book learning. They will quickly catch up and excel their peers, who by 12 are burned out on school when they are at the perfect age for motivated integrated learning. This is a tried and true method but not how we do things in public education. Too bad for boys, who suffer the most…)
But as to systems in place for dealing with fraud, I don’t know. I ahve been through fraud and mistreatment by my ex and there were no systems to fix things for me. I am thankful for court-ordered support but not that thankful. When you add it up its not equal to what I lost fighting for it in court and against lies. The only winners were the lawyers. I do hear personally of cases where the husbands got alimony and child support even though they were the ones who had an affair, but the wife had the job, and he was a slacker, so he collected. Another friend put her husband through Bachelors, Master, Doctorate then he became a trapeze artist (and had affairs, and she found out had been doing this while she supported him through school degrees) so at divorce she got no alimony or child support because any income he made was hidden; he had “nothing” so now she raises her kids with no help on her moderate salary, which is a poor one because of how she must stretch it, and she lives on extreme thrift. And there is a cap on how much alimony and child support you can get, and I don’t know any well-off divorced women. Divorce costs everyone, the kids the most but the couple always lives each on much less than half of what they had. That’s my own experience. There are frauds of both sexes though.
