I don't think that people are seeing the PKs as sinister, but maybe just
maybe they are seeing them as a group of men who want to make women
subservient.  Now before anyone goes off on a tangent let's take a look at
why...

Most churches teach women their *roles* in society.  These roles are are
to stay at home and raise the kids.  To take care of their husband.  Heck,
it is stated in the vowes when they are married.

So there are many people, both men and women, who do not feel that this is
correct...  Is can and has caused problems in the history of humankind.

Let's take a look at some things that are happening in society today.  How
about divorse.  So one of these PKs end up in divorse court....  They find
thenselves facing a woman who they thought they married, but she's
changed.  Instead of making him dinner she now wants the house, the kids,
child-support, and because she stayed at home throughout the marriage...
she wants allomony.  Hum... this has happened to a friend of mine.  We
almost got married, but didn't 'cause I wouldn't stay at home...

Now where does this leave this man and this woman?  And what about the
kids?

You can't blaim NOW for men's problems in court when there are wanting a
wife to stay at home and raising the kids.  You can't.  In fact you should
be thanking NOW for trying to get more women in the work force.

I mean really now... I thought there were some men who did want to stay at
home while their wife worked.

Another big problem that many people have with the PKs is why
Christianity?  Personally I have no problem with the PKs.  I think it is
great that there are men out there in this world who want to make promises
along the lines of fatherhood and husbandhood.  But why Christianity?
There are many other religions in the world that preach basically the same
thing.  Why couldn't the PKs be just about making the promise to
themselves, their wives, and society.  Why bring God into it?  Why is it
that these men need an excuss to make this promis?

If the PKs were less religious if not none at all, then I would support
them more.  If not totally.  But I cannot support such an organization
that doesn't support human rights as a whole.

I don't support the NOW organization 'cause it seems to want to bash men
constantly and expects too much.  Personally I support single income
families... something the NOW organization would find bad 'cause most
people will assume that this means women must stay at home.

I support overall human rights.  Everyone's!  It shouldn't matter if
you're Christian or not.  It shouldn't matter if you're woman or man.  It
shouldn't matter what color your skin is.
