I suggest that all women who want to be "led" around by a man for
the sake of allowing him to keep his masculinity stand up and say "I!"

hmmm.... I hear silence......


I listened to a discussion on the radio of all the domestic abuse cases in
family court and how hard it is for women to get restraining orders to
protect them from spouses who are "claiming their role of being the boss." 
It's sickening!  Women and children get NO protection in this society from
sexual abuse, spouse abuse or from being raped.  And yet 52,000 "Christian"
 men get together in a football stadium (the center of male worship) to
take back their leadership!

 If you want to call me a male basher, go ahead, but the next time you walk
down the street take note of women who have black-and-blue marks all over
their face and their arms.  I'll bet my last dollar it wasn't another woman
who put them there!
