are not discontented – they are happily engaged in their homes, civic, intellectual,
professional, and spiritual lives. They care for their families and
their communities. The point (for those who didn’t get it) is not
that women who are connected to C.C. or T.R. are silly or vapid (which can theoretically
happen in any population) but that men who insist that women are subordinate
creatures are sadly deficient themselves. I have told Doug Wilson on
several occasions that the strongest asset he has are the women in the
church. Lord knows, it certainly isn’t the men. Every
trouble related to </span></font><font color=teal face=Georgia><span

laid at the feet of the Elders and Pastor – all of whom are male. One
of the Hicks brothers illustrates that sentiment splendidly in the following
drivel: </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color="#333333" face=Georgia><span lang=EN
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#333333'>“God made men
stronger an more leaderly than women. This is why they always lead. The modern
western lie is that since women can act like men they must be liberated. This
is the sneakiest of lies. Women have all manner of jobs now and opportunities
in almost all career feilds.<br>
<br>
But the problem is this: A dog is not liberated by being pushed off of a cliff
so he can finally fly like a bird. A whale is not liberated by being freed from
the waters that have enslaved him and placed in the Mojave desert. Men are not
freed by being given a dress and told to bear children and women are not freed
by taking over the role and responsibility of men.”</span></font></p>
