3 Things: Pastor talking about procreation, a Discussion about boycotting men, Bear vs Man Convo

[@missinterpretation4984]

People who say men are natural leaders are confusing wanting to be in charge and feeling entitled to being in charge with leadership. But they’re very different.

[@c16621]

It is a BIOLOGICAL FACT that WOMEN are leaders, NOT MEN.

A bear would leave a dead carcass alone.👀 Meanwhile, in human man land, an entire INDUSTRY of funeral homes have had to hire only women because of the sheer amount to defiling of a corpse by men….we will ALWAYS choose a bear. A bear is just a bear…a man can (often) be a monster. With a bear, I’d be part of the circle of life. With a man, my life and future are discarded without any sense of value back to the world or universe. Men are the ultimate apex predator, even to themselves, and that’s not a compliment, it’s a bright neon hazard warning sign.

[@NiseyNikki80]

Poverty is also a way to perpetuate religious beliefs. If you feel helpless, you are more likely to believe in a higher power to intervene on your behalf. Men, in general, love to say they're more logical, but logic should also include foresight and practicality. They tend to act without planning or thinking long-term. It becomes the woman's job to plan and make things work, yet they're the ones who are belittled and seen as less valuable. Make it make sense!

[@manifest2203]

You are spot on 👏 Exactly. They aren’t l0gical. Nor do they have l3adership. They can’t even take care of BC, guide w0m3n in basic things and have n0 l1fesk1lls. Also, religion has done millennia of pr0paganda to convince w0m3n to subm1t. If it is natural for w0m3n to subm1t, why haven’t they been able to achieve it? 🤣

[@unicorn73212]

It doesn't because even they can't explain it. I've also seen videos about how when you meet the right guy you want him to be more obsessed with you then you are with him how about take the obsession part out of the equation and stop equating that to love? Many women have been unalived by there spouses because the man was more obsessed with her then she was with him so you can tell sometimes religious people don't talk to shrinks they have no knowledge or education on what healthy relationships are and some of them haven't been in enough relationships to know these men are mostly full of crap there not capable of loving women romantically because they use them as a resource and they confuse love with lust so they sell women a lie when there in there 20s by making them think it's love before she's even old enough to know she might be making a mistake with them.

[@TheArnaa]

Men were never “natural leaders.” They took power through brute force when humanity shifted from hunter gatherer societies to agricultural. For the first time, there was land and cultivated crops to defend from marauders and it was men doing the fighting. And since there was now land, inheritance became and issue so the control of women’s sexuality and procreation was instituted to ensure any children produced were his. And at least one son was a must to continue the inheritance because a male was necessary to forcefully defend the land and other belongings.

[@Lokian_Mermaid]

My mom was raised in the Mormon church. They brainwashed her from a child that she wanted kids, so she grew up thinking she wanted a big family. Turns out she shouldnt have even had one. She would have been much happier single, educated, and traveling. Instead she got with two consecutive abusers, and stayed with the worst one. She let him “take care” of us and worked outside the house as much as possible bcuz it was a toxic environment. She resented each and every one of us, especially her daughters for some twisted reason. She didn’t physically abuse us as much as he did, she was egregiously neglectful, especially medical neglect, and twistedly mentally and emotionally abusive. She couldn’t even be bothered to sign permission slips for us, I learned to forge her signature as a child so that I and my siblings could get through school. I gave up my entire childhood and teen hood, to care for HER CHILDREN cause I was the eldest daughter: cooking and cleaning from 7 unattended, I was on infant duty for all three of my younger siblings (starting when I was 4) and woe betide me if either of my parent woke up 🥊. She popped out five kids into abject poverty and dysfunction, leaving us to fend for ourselves with a violent and twisted abuser, and wonders why we aren’t high achieving. My sister and I don’t talk to her.

[@Lokian_Mermaid]

My aunt and uncle joined the Mormon church in the late 80's, after they'd already had 4 kids and my aunt already had her tubes tied. The ppl at their church were definitely friendly and kind, but incredibly stupid to think one lifestyle is good for everyone. Years and years later, I was commenting on something regarding how it's wrong for ppl to pop out too many kids with no real forethought. My aunt replied, "Not for our religion". I told her that her religion does not guarantee ppl can take care of their kids and no guarantee that the parents are mentally well adjusted ppl. That when God said to be fruitful and multiply, there (supposedly) were only TWO ppl on the planet. At this point, we got it covered. How different this world would be if our Creator(s) literally stepped in and made sure children were only born to mentally well adjusted ppl. Ok, some ppl can't have kids but too many horrible ppl have kids and ruin their kids' lives, so, obviously, our Creator isn't preventing it often enough. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheCakeIsALie-1]

Our moms are surprisingly similar, except my mom was a non-denominational Christian who later deconverted, and ended up also being one of those Tumblr "feminists" men tend to use as a strawman against feminism as a whole. We'd even get in trouble for not catcalling random boys. It was a thing. But anyway, even the whole forging the signature though is on point. My mom actually taught us how because she couldn't be bothered. The emotional abuse, medical neglect, adultification, etc, are all 100% relatable. And she reminded us how much of a burden we were, how she hated children, etc.

I was brought up in the church. I am not religious now, but I remember when they started preaching that Christianity isn’t a religion; they started preaching that it was a “relationship.” Religion...is a relationship between a believer & what they believe in. But churches started preaching the “religion” vs “relationship” line because they KNEW & KNOW that people are turned off by religion, so the churches wanted to make religion sound more palatable in order to advance their evangelism...but it’s just semantics & it’s redundant. Religion or relationship-it’s the exact same thing. This kind of game that’s played only works on the church members themselves due to many being unquestioning (I question MUCH lol) & not being educated enough (because the Bible actually does speak against being very educated). But for the churches to “soften” themselves in this way...provokes (in their belief) the wrath of God, which warns against trying to “tickle people’s ears). So, by their own beliefs, they are “false Christs.”

I saw a video of a nanny and mother, once. They were doing the challenge where they sit side by side and both call “their” kid to them to see who the toddler would go to. This lady had about 4 kids and they ALL went to the nanny. Should the mother get defensive? Fire the nanny? Yell at her children? Or should she realize that’s just what happens when other people raise your kids? (In the video, the mother seemed to be a good sport about it. It probably stung, but I think she knew it was gonna happen). The last guy was being ridiculous about the man vs. bear thing. Lecturing women about how his feelings are hurt because they chose the bear over him doesn’t fix the problem. We feel how we feel. We would rather curl into the bear’s lap when he calls us if there’s a man nearby calling us too.

The last couple years I have found myself making women only playlists in music, I like reading and watching stories with strong female characters. It is a very noticeable difference in female led films vs male. I am tired of watching things through a male gaze.

The church also prevents people from aspiring to higher levels of money. My father was an altar boy, it was my great grandmother's dream to see him in the church. However, after witnessing the priest turn down a woman who was pleading for help from the priest; he left. He knew that the Church received money from the parish for those purposes and the priest declined to help out. We were raised Catholic as well due to my mom but the same thing happened. She was disenchanted with the church and the lack of help for the local community, tons of help for foreign countries and other communities but not their own parish so she left. So, it seems like the more involved people get with the church the more likely they are to leave.

I understand that you're agnostic. My comment is solely for this pastor: that's NOT in The Bible. Adultery is a SIN. What he is saying is NOT in The Bible. That's all.

[@susiebear3316]

Lies, I have read the Bible from coverage to cover 2 times. Polygamy for men is celebrated. The only reason why Christian religion went through a reformation for first world countries. It's because they knew that most of the women would not accept this. There are other tribes who would not accept. The whole polygamist nonsense either whether They are male or female. So it is in the bible stop blindly following your pastor and read the that book word for yourself.

I thought I was one of the few but I have been trying to incorporate women in my everyday life. In my case, after experiencing workplace sexual harassment I wanted nothing to do w/men unless I vet him vehemently. If I know a place has a lot of men, I avoid it. A man made something? Research and avoid. Healthcare providers? I avoid them the best I can. I honestly can't remember the last time I listened to advice from a man, as a teenager I disregarded a lot of what men said. In my defense, I was never boy crazy or held a strong attraction to them. So cutting them out of my life has been painless for the most part. Women and other non-men have always been my main focus.

When the bear v man topic came up at my house, I said bear and my husband also said “bear.” He thought he was supposed to choose too. Men range from being bothersome boogers to dangerous. Bears are mainly herbivores. They will only strike out in self defense.

[@thekameru6058]

Oh that thing about male writers - my formative experience on that was Bill Willingham. He wrote the Fable books. Decided to read them after Telltale did a pretty decent, sylish neon 80's game based on it. And the books were so creepy! There was an entire arc where whilst they were out of their minds due to an outside influence, two of the main characters, the Big Bad Wolf and SNOW WHITE have sex. They were not in an established relationship, and Snow White got crazy sexual trauma from her past. Because he is basically The wolf from the fairytales, he could smell what had happened when he woke up. He didnt tell her. Instead he kept quiet. And then suddenly later the woman finds out shes preganat with his offspring, and suddenly shes too far along to do anything about it. What happens after she gives birth? He proposes, and she accepts with the words 'Okay, you've defeated me. You win' And THEN, during the wedding, this character who has learned in her backstory to be strong and independent is swearing to obey this literal man wolf who chose to hide the truth about what they did with each other from her until it was too late. Gross, gross, on every level. The writer himself, not content with this, also is notorious for having taken over a pannel at a convention called "Writing Women Friendly Comics" this one time. He turned it into a personal soapbox to deny white/male privilege, defend the lack of women/minorities in comics; interrupted, ranted at and made fun of every woman who spoke. I mean, WOW. Just wow.

Yup. I'm Jamaican and Haitian descent. My mother raised me pentecostal and my father is a preacher. I rejected the Church when I was a teenager and embraced Haitian vodou in my 20s. There is no proselytizing in vodou. Women are equal to men, and the spirits do not care if you are LGBT. I think it is why we have been demonized following our successful revolution for liberty. I am not fond of the religions that proselytize.

Okay, the boycotting men and the things they make is SO real. Manifestelle did a video on this, too. As I've gotten older and decentered men more, it's become more obvious that men DO NOT speak for all of humanity. I sideeye and second-guess men a lot more now, I just can't take them seriously without overwhelming evidence and vetting first. I don't even subscribe to a lot of YT channels with men at the center, unless that man has been approved by the girls, gays and theys. And the men that I DO sub to are fem gay/bi men, who speak on men with WAY more honesty and insight than straight men do.

[@Iquey]

In the Homestuck comic / fandom, there was this funny phrase to describe when you coddle and shush someone and pat them on the head to calm them down like a baby. I think it was called giving "shooshpaps" and that's what these men engaging in the bear debate are looking for they want the shooshpappings.

I think we need to do what men do - compartmentalize. If you have men who do services for you, cool. You wouldn't include them in your social circle, usually. You have some good male family members - cool. You won't be including them in your romantic prospects, so why use them in your arguments about men in dating? Your male cousins, brothers, etc. do not consider you at all when they are pursuing romantic partners. Reciprocate.

[@MelissaThompson432]

My father was a minister, and he never preached "God will provide." His words of wisdom were, "the Lord helps those who help themselves." Like the modern parable of the man on the rooftop in a flood: several different people tried to save him, but he said, "the Lord will provide." When he died, he met with God and said, "where were you when I was drowning?" and God said, "I sent you three different rescues and you sent them away." Too many people believe these days that they can do whatever they want and some invisible magic will mop up after them. I'm not a Christian in the way that other people recognize, although I do believe there is one creative source consciousness we call God and that there are individuals who are holy that we call saints and angels. Including Jesus and Mary who were/are conscious of their connection to that Source. I don't believe we are God, although I do believe that we are "made of the stuff that is God," the spark, the idea, the Logos: we are from that "material." I believe that if we can accept and assume our responsibility in the world, we will be more holy. I believe that if we truly take on the pattern that Jesus left for us to follow, if we actually "believe in Jesus," we are changed; we are aware that we have to be the pattern, not believe in him like Santa Claus, as if, as long as Mama doesn't see what we've actually been doing, we'll get presents we maybe don't deserve (unless we're poor, because Santa loves rich kids more.) Too many people like yon pastor up there believe that Santa Jesus is going to bring him a pony just because he wants one so much. He needs to start with the grown children of other parents, who are sick, who are hungry, who are hurting. Wishing for babies to build up your ego, make you look like you have "strong man-juice" is not holy. Santa Jesus is not going to be impressed. There is not going to be any God Will Provide in pastor's stocking this year.

[@tadiwachirima858]

I honestly believe people use “God will provide“ and God works in mysterious ways“ in Order to ignore the main messages of the Bible/Quran/Torah/other religious books in favor of prioritizing and centralizing trivial details. These three books value love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self reflection, empathy, charity, community, benevolence, humility. These are echoed over and over again. Another thing that these books repeat over and over is learning from one’s mistakes, self improvement, and education. But people want to focus on man shall not lay with man, go forth and multiply, submit to your husband as if these are important tenets as compared to the main messengers mentioned above.
