The Growing Power of Feminism
The Growing Power of Feminism
There are many stories in which a princess through her love transforms a frog into a prince. Meghan Markle is the first feminist I know of who has transformed a prince into a frog. Progress?

Both of them are 'feminists' of the same form if he agrees to something she proposed. How do you intepret their separation from 'royalty' as related to her power unless you presume Harry acted in submission to her wishes ALONE? He never knew anything distinct from being royalty and appears to have opted to leave for another concern besides themselves: the people's growing distaste for the institution of Royalty and the constant harassment.

The princess who transformed the frog did so through the gift of love while the feminist turned the prince into a frog through the use of power. Love vs. power. Building up vs. tearing down. I'll stick with the woman who knows how and why to kiss a frog.

But given this was a deeper thinking forum thread, I thought you might be implying more than just a single post thread stating a joke [such as what might be a 'Tweet' instead.]

Castration is never progress.
I predict princess will dump eunuch within the year.
Re: The Growing Power of Feminism
You may be right but the old fashioned attraction to love as an ideal for the modern feminist has been abandoned for the attraction to power. The princess turning the frog into a prince seems somehow demeaning. I find it sad when I see how many young girls have been taught to abandon what they feel at the depths of their heart and what it means to be a woman in favor of being as foolish as men.henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:40 pmCastration is never progress.

It's not foolish to be a man, Nick. Nor to be a woman. But it is foolish for a woman to behave like a man, or a man to behave like a woman.

Re: The Growing Power of Feminism
We appreciate Christianity differently. You seem primarily concerned with the outer man or what we DO. The Christianity I know is concerned with what we ARE or the inner man.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 6:04 pmIt's not foolish to be a man, Nick. Nor to be a woman.

From this perspective the division of male into female has special significance. For the purpose of propogation the male is concerned with quantity or creating many offspring. The female preserves the the human quality of our species. The female strives to select a male capable of reflecting human quality. she possesses.
Modern secularism rejects the idea of objective quality so consequently the young who feel it are condemned assuring the young of both sexes due to modern education will gradually experience the collective loss of the inner awareness of objective quality.
When the women no longer reflect the respect for objective quality most men will just be concerned with quantity and the recognition of God as the Great Beast or society itself. How could it be other if women are denied the ability to understand what objective quality is in relation to human being and can only reason in terms of social appearance.
The Christianity I know by heredity is concerned with the vertical middle between God and Man which enables the essence of Man to consciously evolve to become the potential for human being. This idea must be hated by the world but needed by those not of the world. The essence of women is an essential part of awakening which is why it must be attacked in favor of establishing conditioned fantasy and inner corruption.

Behavior or what we do is a product of the outer man. It is important in the world. Christianity is not concerned with what we do but rather the light within which it is done.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 11:03 pmUmm...yes.

Re: The Growing Power of Feminism
It's not an either-or, Nick. It's a both-and.
Christianity concerns both the character of the good person, and what the good person does. "By their fruits you will know them," remember? The "fruits" are their manifest actions; the thing you get to "know" by that is their true character.
Re: The Growing Power of Feminism
And who determines good character? Is the defense of communism preaching equality a sign of good character? Fruits can be deceptive. I'll stick with Meister Eckhart on this oneImmanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:53 amIt's not an either-or, Nick. It's a both-and.

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.
