You need to look further into these writings.  Whatyou have presented includes too
much "...."
You present this "leadership" as a henious
aspect of interpersonal relationships, which it
is not.  If leadership is a poor thing, let's start at the
top and get  rid of the President, Vice-President,
Speaker of the House, etc.

Mr. Evans takes on male complacency, and incites
them to *spiritual* leadership.  This is something you
have no concept of, since you used those "........"s
to take out parts you don't understand.

His opinion.

Before you condemn it, read it.
Who are these "more aggressive persuasion" feminists,
note he didn't say *all* feminists.

What do you have against love, attention, and leadership?
I do not feel oppressed, myself, when I follow the leadership
of our Boy Scout Troop Scoutmaster.  Nor do I feel
oppressed when I follow my wife's leadership.  Are you for
anarchy?

A priest is a servant.  What's your problem?

An opinion, it has some truth in it.

What are you afraid of here?

That man made a mistake.Of the many men who went to DC,
you would not have to search very long
to find a sinner with an incomplete or
false idea or philosophy.  Do you now
take this one mistaken fellow and apply
it to millions?
