There has been so much collateral damage and distrust at this point, you can't even get people to take women (or men) seriously in the west. Another reason to go overseas.
No, he died at age 64 but yes, his early life was Brooklyn (ironically?). Apparently, groups and foundations funded by families like the Rockefeller have plans set out 50 years at a time. The elites have figured out a lot about what pulls the levers in man, but we must also say that you have to have willing people to do what they want, either way.Didn’t Russo also die in a small plane crash after he started spilling the beans?
You'll come to realize that they don't really desire anything, they just follow or are imprinted by what the culture does, and then add a dash of what is particularly attractive to them to figure out their place in the large scheme of things. The come to Jesus moment is of course just another way of trying to justify their past actions and get re-incorporated, understanding now they must try one or many things to save a sinking ship of value.So this is what women desire, to be able to sleep around and not be judged or shamed, only to be shown Jesus. This way they can politely decline, resume in their fornication, and when they’re done having fun at 30, they can “seek forgiveness”, and have a beta wife them up.
If you were standing in line at the supermarket and glanced at the tabloid rack, would you get worried that there were aliens at every street corner?The more I see of such debauched behavior, the more I want to join a monastery. Quo vadis, western woman? Men, stop simping!
What got us here in the first place is birth control pills and women being allowed in the workforce.The act of forcing others to adhere to social expectations is exactly what got us here in the first place. The more one is told not to do something, the more one wants to do it. The conduct is entirely psychological and is referred to as reactance, a mechanism in which our brain strives to guarantee our freedom to pursue the actions we desire in our lives (Brehm, 1966; Steindl et al., 2015).
Moreover, the Holy Spirit does not manifest Himself in shame or condemnation (John 16:8, Revelation 12:10), so those who rely on such a tactic, I daresay, are not exercising wisdom nor acting in the Spirit of Christ.
Lastly, I would argue that maintaining a perspective of women's poor choices in terms of her "quality" is a carnal one and is unproductive to solving the issue. Her quality to whom? One who is currently still looking for the right woman to marry? Sure, but it is certainly not how God sees women-- or men for that matter. As Christians, we should be aiming to use a lens that sees the world through Christ and not one who is bound by the world. In other words, merit: what one can produce and not produce in the workplace, in the community, or even in a relationship. I know that that is difficult for especially men, because that is how the world judges us and deems our value, but we must not conform to the world (Romans 12:2); Christ is a living example for that not being necessary to change it.

Also, assessing a woman’s value based on her past is not carnal, it’s based in statistics on divorce rates.
Those are only means. The heart that takes advantage of those means was evil to begin with.What got us here in the first place is birth control pills and women being allowed in the workforce.
I see it as more propaganda stoking the natural rebelliousness in us, which was in large part due to global or intelligence communities, and you know who.The act of forcing others to adhere to social expectations is exactly what got us here in the first place.
That can be the case, of course, but like Shaquille said, it's not about telling it's about even providing the possibility or allowing. I'm quite sure you wouldn't allow for pornography and then tell your children to not view or entertain it; rather, you'd restrict it because that's the wiser and healthier move.The more one is told not to do something, the more one wants to do it.
I'm simply observing that where you get chaos and women trying to be like men, or have no restrictions (however those may come about, socially, economically, whatever) you get women who are less feminine, more promiscuous, and do not have any inkling to take advantage of their higher status days to get married. You know what the does? It hurts women.Lastly, I would argue that maintaining a perspective of women's poor choices in terms of her "quality" is a carnal one and is unproductive to solving the issue.

Of course not. But we are talking about what makes marriage worthwhile, and what limits one should set on it. For example, the "brides" I see are wearing all white, but very few (if any) any longer are virgins. You are sort of inverting things here. What myself and posters like me promote is that by forming women in the proper ways, they will be much more fulfilled and happier as wives and mothers. Similarly, I wouldn't defend a guy who has no job and isn't good looking as a good match and tell a woman to marry him, because "look past all that, he's got worth". So you shouldn't do the same for women.And viewing the worth of humans based upon what they can carnally produce for one another is not how God measures our worth (Matthew 10:29-31).
Amen. AND everyone knows it is an obvious lie.Most annoying is their incessant claim that they can do everything a man can do. This isn't liberation, this is childish one-upmanship and it has no place among adults who have real adult problems. It reduces all of us down to the level of 7th graders.
I also don't understand a lot of the excuses, which I believe come from some pollyanna or emotional appeals to something that's just not in the real world. Character is a reality of life that is based on what decisions you have made, as well as how you act and behave - which is intrinsically tied to worth. Now, any given person I can't necessarily comment on her reality or struggles, since I didn't follow her around for her whole life. I can, however, tell you that as a group it's quite obvious what women in the modern day have decided to do, so the conclusion is accurate and relevant: whether they decide to knowingly or not, they forego their highest value days to then hope they can land a man later on, in the meanwhile not prioritizing family or husbands, but rather, fun (in various ways, yes many and multiple). I'm not supposed to notice that and want to distance myself from it, @Astronomer ?If there is repression or oppression it's definitely not towards women and is very much against men. All I see are women literally boasting and showing off. And its repulsive.

You aren't paying attention to the last 80 years, then, my friend.I do not believe removing women's options will do anything to actually change the condition of their heart nor will it actually give a man the kind of marriage he wants; rather, that women will be more fulfilled and happier as wives and mothers if their are inspired to, than forced.
You aren't paying attention to the last 80 years, then, my friend.
Where you are missing the mark is thinking that women know that doing things in their early life, or not doing them, impacts the entirety of the rest of their lives and how they look back on them, as a fulfilled people. I find this quite astonishing being a member of this forum.
I think you are having a hard time with restriction and "force" (look at my porn example again) and thus aren't thinking of all of this very clearly. It's quite clear, both in the American heyday and now, there is a small minority of people that actually are inspired to do XYZ or care about faithful Orthodox Christianity, I'm sad to say. What you get with open societies is ultimately, therefore, is just less options for men to lead and form in the Christian path, as a result. And that means less family formation and decreasing numbers to reveal the faith. If "more" and "better" options are optimal for women, let's say, why are we less faithful overall and have we been losing the cultural battle since this happened? This also testifies against your position. I hate to break your idealism, but it's pretty clear that the powers that be took advantage and are now laughing at the state of things, mostly fertility rates. These women were quite clearly more inspired by other things, not Jesus Christ.
