Decades ago when I was growing up I heard about dinosaurs like the preacher on the video. It saddens me to think that these people are getting a voice again. It's like we're going back in time.
Frankly I like the turn the women's rights movement has taken recently. In the 80's the stereotype for feminists was to be rather masculine and angry. Now I see many feminists in short skirts and low cut blouses and they aren't angry. It's like they are saying "fuck the establishment" with every swish of their skirt. I find this amusing. Women are allowed to show more skin. It's like saying "So what, (male) I made you want to look at me. If you're religion punishes you for looking at a woman that's your problem not mine." Again I find this amusing.
More importantly I like the fact that women are pushing the notion that it's ok for them to sleep around. For too long the double standard has existed. It used to be that women were considered to be sluts for having multiple partners but men were envied. Now women seem to say "so I sleep around, so what."
I may be wrong about this but I think this is what is bothering the religious community so much. Controlling breeding/sex rights is a primitive idea that doesn't seem to want to die.
BTW, I know that my statements can be used for humorous remarks and that's ok I guess but I'm serious. I'm glad that women don't have to cover up to keep men's minds pure or to control breeding/sex rights. I'm glad that there are people out there who are trying to destroy the double standard about sex. There has been too much bullshit for way too long.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
