What I don't think you realize is that the piece is inherently bullying and hurtful.

1.)"Do you agree or disagree with the author of that article?"

I believe there's much to discuss regarding the precision of the article, however I think it's very accurate.

Except that 3rd from the end paragraph. That's spot on, excellent.

2)"What do you think a Christian woman thinks when she reads an article like that?"

I'd expect that many different women have many different thoughts. I'd expect that even one woman would have a variety thoughts.

I could offer conjecture as to what those might be, and given the odds, I'd probably be right for someone. However, for me to speculate what a given woman thinks seems inappropriate. Kinda like slander.

3.)"It conflates a belief in men's rights with misogyny, which does neither men nor women any favors"

I guess I don't agree with you.

Does the author overstate his case? In some ways, yes. Is that for effect? You're the writer.

4.)"Would you feel comfortable showing that piece to your wife? "

Should I feel comfortable showing her Eccl 7:28?

Depends on why I'd show it to her. To bully her? To hurt her? I hope I wouldn't use it that way.

LeeQuod, thanks for your kind words!

One thing (among many) that bothers me about that blog, and others like it: It conflates a belief in men's rights with misogyny, which does neither men nor women any favors. Now, I do believe that men have rights and, further, that some men have had their rights trampled. Where the trouble starts is when people like this author start making sweeping statements about all women, based on their own hurtful experiences.

Christopher, I think you've mentioned before that you're married. If you don't mind a slightly personal question: Would you feel comfortable showing that piece to your wife? "Look, honey, no woman knows how to be a good wife anymore -- says so right here. Not just SOME women -- NO woman!"

2) Rather more urgently, Christopher, what do you think a Christian woman who is single, most definitely would like to *not* be single, and who not only has the power to approve or disapprove your comments at this site but also accept or reject your presence at The Point at all, thinks when she reads an article like that?

I'd suggest your next meal be a large helping of crow. If not, then nice knowin' ya, Mr. Scurlock.

(Aside to Gina: the really obnoxious issue is that many of the villains in those Disney movies are slightly older single women who have appropriated some measure of personal power. Christopher may wish to have a field day with that - until you say the magic word and make him disappear. Me, I always *did* think, sincerely, that you're the fairest of them all.)

I'm curious about two things, Christopher:

(1) Do you agree or disagree with the author of that article?

(2) What do you think a Christian woman thinks when she reads an article like that?

(There my be objectionable language in comments)

I saw last night online that Disney is denying the story. But if it's not true, I don't know where they got all the quotes! Will have to look into this some more . . .

Disney fairy tales may be silly and corny in some ways (I always preferred older, non-cartoonish versions of the stories), but they're at least pretty harmless. It seems adolesence is getter longer--starting earlier and ending later--all the time, and kids hardly have a childhood.
