Women Know Your Limits

[Mac-7]

Alas that is not the same thing.

That includes examples such as communal care and/or multiple family households as well as extended families.

“Communal care?”

You mean it takes a village?

Or a communist country where mothers work and the state raises the children?

Egads

 

[SweetSue92]

Then why the repeated complaints? Don't you Americans have a saying about sucking it up?

Because it's ridiculous, that's why

 

[westwall]

I have no idea why several of you are so fixated on Islam. What has that to do with this thread? The individuals who want to remove the rights of US women to vote are Americans. And least one contributor to this thread (@DGDS49) agrees with them. In other words those American men are no different from the Muslims about which some of you keep posting.

Islam is a barbarian culture, intent on destroying western culture.

Hence our attention.

Next time you help your children with their algebra or write the integers we all use in the west, or utilise a decimal point for your accounts, or indeed enjoy a good distilled bourbon, remember who to thank.

Not necessarily

No

I agree. Your regular complaints about foreigners making comments on these boards are rather pointless.

Yeah, that was over a millenia ago. What has Islam done lately? Bomb innocents, drive trucks into crowds, screech epithets, commit fraud on a grand scale.

So....the rest of the world advanced, but Islam is still a backward culture that treats women like goats, and engages in inbreeding to the point where your average IQ is 80 or below.

Islam is now the culture of idiots.

And, for the record, your ancient scholar didn't invent algebra, he did standardize the symbology and gathered together the systems developed by the Egyptian, Indian, and Greek scholars who had been developing it for over 2000 years.

I think foreigners need to butt out of our domestic issues

Perhaps the British might take the same view of Americans butting in to their domestic issues.

Ummm we don't. We point and laugh at the British self destruction, but honestly we don't care.

I care

I have been a lifelong Anglophile and it pains me to see how far the mother country has fallen

A growing trend among those on the Christian Right is premised on a stereotypical view of women that reflects religious biases.

From the same article:

So, in the ideal Christian Nationalist state, as envisioned by Webbon, Partridge, and Robinson, women would be denied the vote, immigration would cease and non-European immigrants would be deported, and Jews would be denied the right to hold public office.

It would be easy to dismiss these three clerics as members of a misogynous and racist fringe group. However, their vision of depriving women of the vote isn’t theirs alone. It is a key provision of the agenda of well-funded Christian Dominionists. One of its leaders is Douglas Wilson, the spiritual mentor of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Wilson has proposed replacing individual voting with a household voting system, in which each household—led by its masculine head—would have a single vote. In a 2025 survey involving 3,300 respondents, the Religion in Public blog found that 20.5 percent of Americans they questioned favored replacing our present system with one of household voting:

Sorry Hypatia415, you don't mind if I don't think the Christian Right are actually that Christian...

I am not saying all of them but there seems to be a large proportion of them that don't adhere to core Christian values...

Anti-Abortion, Anti-Transgender, Anti-Gay... are not core Christian values... In fairness Jesus never mentioned them...

Jesus did tell us how to treat foreigners and strangers to our land...

Sorry but these are not following the teachings of Christ.. They in a lot cases are going against the teachings of Christ.

They sold out to MAGA, he isn't following the teachings of Christ...

"It is worth nothing for a man to have the whole world if he loses his soul. He could never pay enough to buy back his soul." - Matthew 16:26

They will try and do cosplay Christians on Sunday but they sold out... Trump made them feel good while abusing foreigners and other not like you...

So I respectively ask you not to call them Christians...They just pretend to be ones on Sunday.

 

[CowboyTed]

You're from Europe, and I'm guessing you voted in the parties/politicians that let in unfettered illegal aliens who are raping women, right?

But you know. So much easier to focus on those Pesky Christians in America.

I truly, honestly wish this wasn't so predictable as to be stereotypical, but it is. You're basically miming almost every European post I've read here in the last 10 years, and it's a big reason why most Americans just do not care at all about Europe anymore. Oh no, we're not allies anymore? Great. Fund your own military.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
—Leviticus 19:33–34
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
—Matthew 25:25–36


American Christians? Cosplay Christians....
Don't pretend you worship God, your tribe turned away from God a while back...

 

[Hypatia415]

Yeah, that was over a millenia ago.

Some Islamists have done so. But not all of Islam.

So....the rest of the world advanced, but Islam is still a backward culture that treats women like goats

Again you seem to be fixated on particular groups within Islam.

, and engages in inbreeding to the point where your average IQ is 80 or below.

Oh not that ridiculous claim yet again.

Islam is now the culture of idiots.

And the USA is not?

And, for the record, your ancient scholar didn't invent algebra, he did standardize the symbology and gathered together the systems developed by the Egyptian, Indian, and Greek scholars who had been developing it for over 2000 years.

And it was via contact with the Muslim world that the West obtained that knowledge.

It is not known in what year al-Khwārizmi completed his al-Jebr, but on the very first page he wrote a dedication to his patron, al Ma’mūn. It is from these early passages that we learn of his motivation for writing it: ‘That fondness for science, by which God
has distinguished the Imam al-Ma’mūn, the Commander of the Faithful … has encouraged me to compose a short work on
calculating by (the rules of) completion and reduction.’ And here lies part of the real value of his work, for what al-Khwārizmi did
was to bring together obscure mathematical rules, known only to the few, and turn them into an instruction manual for solving
mathematical problems that crop up in a wide range of everyday situations. [See chapter 8 in Pathfinders: The Golden Age of Arabic Science, Jim Al-Khalili, Penguin Books, 2010]

(Sarcasm) However, Al-Khalili is only a nuclear physicist so what does he know?

You don't know the first thing about Christianity, that's painfully obvious

 

[Hypatia415]

Sorry Hypatia415, you don't mind if I don't think the Christian Right are actually that Christian...

I could not agree more.

I am not saying all of them but there seems to be a large proportion of them that don't adhere to core Christian values...

Agreed

Anti-Abortion, Anti-Transgender, Anti-Gay... are not core Christian values... In fairness Jesus never mentioned them...

Agreed

Agreed. However, these individuals have a lot of influence within the administration and with many American Christians.

It does not bother me either but I wager some Brits get annoyed at colonials insisting on commenting on the present UK despite rejecting the Mother Country 250 years ago!

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Why on earth would we care if Brits get annoyed? They've let the invaders basically take over. That's cowardance

 

[westwall]

It does not bother me either but I wager some Brits get annoyed at colonials insisting on commenting on the present UK despite rejecting the Mother Country 250 years ago!

Yeah, we rejected her and have progressed further, faster, and benefited more people than any other country in the entire history of mankind.

You're welcome.

No, I am fixated on ISLAMISTS. They are evil swine.

Muslims in general are fine people.
