For the record, I didn't write this "but like most men, sometimes he resists the responsibility, is lazy, distracted, selfish, worldly, etc"
You think it's courage and humility, I find it disrespectful, I guess we are just different. What happens between a man and wife is their business.
That is how entitled, privileged women talk and act. I should know, I've interacted with hundreds of them, literally.
You allow your wife to post on a public Christian forum for mainly men, and are upset when someone disagrees and hurts her feelings.
Privilege is invisible to those who have it.
Women - post gas-lighting, insulting drivel. Like they are some special prize princesses - Gets called out, runs to hubby to save the damsel in distress, what's new.
Zero accountability.
I just love the blaming men narrative with statements like - "awful food that wrecks their masculinity, etc" repeating information to men who are already awake to it. Meanwhile the average weight of a woman in the US is a 170lbs. I'm in England, surrounded by overweight single mothers who also think they are the prize.
Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
1 Timothy 2:11-12
Peace and God bless.
When someone is explaining that they have recognized a flaw in their own character and admit that publicly and that they are trying to feel and act
less entitled and privileged, and explain how they are trying to fight against the feminist programming and that it is very difficult sometimes, but they are struggling in Christ to honor their spouse and be obedient to the will of God, you actually think
that is an appropriate time to be all edgy and try to dunk on and personally insult them? On a site called "
Christ is King"?
I also find it ironic because you're here complaining all the time about women doing the opposite, without apparently doing anything useful yourself to improve the situation, and there is a woman making a good faith effort to improve and serving as a good example to other women, and instead of appreciating and encouraging that behavior you personally attack and try to tear her down?
I'm sorry if she annoys you and you don't like reading her posts, or having women on "your" mens forum (this is the vibe I'm getting from you), or whatever your issue is, but it does not justify your comments. If it was some guy struggling with no fap, or any other vice, and you personally attacked them and called them a loser and a hypocrite when they are trying to improve and follow God's will, how is that even remotely helpful to anyone? That is
not what Christ teaches us.
And yes, I "allow" my wife to post on the Internet. Indeed, I met my wife on this very "forum for mainly men". What is your point, exactly?
And no, she didn't run to me. I saw your post all by myself. Hard to believe, I know. I actually do read the forum sometimes, because I want to see what my wife and others are up to, and sometimes I respond. I rarely get involved where she is concerned btw, and this is definitely not the first time someone was rude to her. She can handle herself, and it's not my job to follow her around and white knight for her or anyone else. However when I see someone behaving as you are, I won't hesitate to intervene, though I strongly prefer to avoid any kind of confrontation and I try to reason with people and give them an opportunity to reverse course and save face, if possible.
Anyway, I don't particulary enjoy interacting with you so I'm going to cut to the chase. If I
ever see you personally insult or attack anyone in this egregious manner again, but especially if it's a faithful Orthodox Christian, regardless of who it is, man or woman, with or without provocation, your posting privileges on this website will be permanently revoked.
Also, if you come at me again with the same poor attitude you displayed in your previous posts/replies, I'm going to ban you without further notice. I am being totally transparent and up front about this so it's completely up to you how you want things to go from here.
That being said, if you are willing to calm down and show a little bit of respect and humility, and apologize for your behavior (this is not negotiable), you are welcome to be here.
I personally hope you choose to stay because in spite of your terrible attitude at times, I consider you a wise and valued member of this community, and in some ways I respect you a great deal. I admire that you are willing to speak your mind and I agree with many of your views regarding women and feminism. However this is not the place for the kind of animosity and personal attacks you are engaging in and I'm not going to put up with it, so it's your choice. I pray you choose wisely.
And since you like bible scriptures, here's one for you:
Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
and here is another:
Matthew 7:3–5 (KJV)
3
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
Take care & God bless.
In Christ,
Servant of Christ
