Melon's Moment of Zen #1

[melon]

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
-- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992

"He had lived through an age when men and women with energy and ruthlessness but without much ability or persistence excelled. And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time

I don't know about the rest of that stuff, but it certainly seems to have bred some who feel it is taking "the movement" backward to marry, etc. Example: several young ladies from my neck-of-the-woods who are nearly irate that Ani DiFranco & Gloria Steinam got married.

I won't touch the "killing their children" subject because I would only upset others with my pro-life views.

ROTFLMAO.

seriously, beyond equal pay and equal job opportunites (which still doesnt exist), are men and women really equal?

Agreed, those strains of feminism that are heavily coupled with postmodernist thought naturally believe that "marriage" and "family" are institutions devised by the dominant class (i.e. men) to keep women in bondage.

i don't know what you're talking about, but ani difranco is married to a man. ask the ani circles, and you'll get the irate responses from the lesbians who used to (and still) adore her.

"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" --from Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 218.

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92

"How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?"--Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p.227

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals--the two things seem to go together."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/21/93

Goodness, I had no idea. For you see, I have been living in a cave, with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears.
