And what inferior position would that be?Surely you don't mean a lifelong
sacred
partnership with a committed spouse, do you?

That's your suspicion.  any evidence,even anecdotal, to support it?

Didn't think so.

Feminists offer nothing to women who wantmen who are lifelong, committed
partners.
They are called second class citizens.
If you talked with them, you might
find they totally disagree with you
about your mistaken perception of
their position.

You are establishing your opinions asquite flaky.  They have published
their
mission statement, and you have made up
what you think their mission statement is.
If you have their mission statement, please
quote them.  Perhaps in your next post
you could include a reference.  Otherwise,
apologize for your character assassination
of people whom you have never met and
your mis-statements about what you think their
objective might be.

I think if you ever intend to argue before a judge,
you'd best find one sympathetic to your
hearsay.  Last I checked, it's inadmissible.

Still no facts, or even quotes;only biased, sexist opinions.

Don't espouse laws prohibiting the free expression ofreligion, I won't
espouse any respecting an establishment of it.

Your comparison is quite disingenuous.

Women married to Promise Keepers are
glad their husbands agree to 'submitting yourselves,
one to another."

It's called "commitment."

 Nope, and your twist is again disingenuous.

The loving correction is by the brothers who
help each other keep their promises.  I wasn't
talking about abuse at all, which is a crime.  I
was talking about sexism.  You correct it
with government programs.  Promise Keepers
do it with the love of Christ, changing one heart
at a time.
