[Vision2020] Logos School's all-male board

[Melynda Huskey]

Doug is fractured by the "progressive agenda," which persists (in his view) 
in assuming that all women are "so many moo cows, patiently waiting for 
liberation."  While I have to repudiate his version of our agenda, it does 
sound hauntingly familiar.

Oh, wait--could that be the "regressive agenda," in which genitals are 
destiny?  You know--if you've got an innie, you're a respectful follower and 
a grateful receiver; if you've got an outie, you just naturally lead, 
provide, and decide.  No exceptions, no how.  (And don't even ask yourself 
about the 1 in 10,000 intersexed births each year--that way madness lies.)

It's the progressives who are blind to nuance?

"We utterly deny all outward wars and strife, and fightings with outward 
weapons, for any end, or under any pretense whatsoever: this is our 
testimony to the whole world."
Quaker Declaration of 1660

>Dear visionaries,

>Warren notes that Bill London's question has gone unanswered in the flurry 
>of discussion. What should we tell our daughters? We should teach them what 
>we believe, which is that men are called by God to sacrifice, love, lead, 
>provide, protect and honor, and women are called to answer this with 
>respect, wisdom, counsel,  nurture, and skillful management. I am aware of 
>the fact that all this is perfectly appalling in our egalitarian era, but 
>there it is.

>The thing that cracks me up about the progressive agenda on this subject is 
>how they quietly assume that this sort of thing is a universal "women's 
>issue" when actual women (Christian women, with brains and everything!) 
>differ with their egalitarian agenda just as much as the men do (and 
>sometimes more). But no, all women, by virtue of the combination of their 
>chromosomes, are just so many moo cows, waiting patiently to be herded into 
>liberation.

>Rosemary says that some have missed the point on her post concerning Logos. 
>They apparently thought she was comparing us to the Nazis when what she was 
>actually doing was comparing us to the Nazis.

>Sharon Sullivan objects to the "brainwashing" that goes on in conservative 
>Christian circles. In the first place, most of our brains (and hearts, and 
>hands) could use a little scrub. Thank God for forgiveness of sin! But if 
>she means (as she perhaps does) that we work the kids over with rubber 
>hoses until they comply with our horrific vision, I think she has 
>overstated her case. There are schools where a significant number of the 
>kids are kept compliant and docile by means of medications -- but that 
>would not be Logos.
