ReputedlyDeplorable

As someone already stated above feminism and the work of thousands of women over the centuries has done most of the work. But I think it’s diversity as well, insular cult mentality does not survive long when exposed to freedom. And the christians are always running around proselytizing, exposing themselves to pagan ways.

It’s also that they just don’t read or follow the Bible really most of western christianity is just “good vibes”

Here is 1 Corinthians 3-6

“But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[a] and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.”

Sometimes it didn’t even make sense. I had a project Engineer (job lead) stay overnight with the night shift mechanics who were fixing a weld on our VDL (elevator for car bodies). He said that it was so he could make sure they lined it up correctly and test it. He could have done that when we came in the morning, there was a day shift mechanical crew if we had any issues.

I used to be an automotive controls engineer. 100hr work weeks were not unusual onsite, the norm was 80hrs. And you can end up onsite for anywhere from 2-10 months depending on the job. The 100hr weeks were usually only for a few weeks when production starts up again. But it’s the whole culture, there is a lot of pressure from the customer to get production back up. And most of the industry veterans I worked with loved bragging about the 36hr days they had worked in the past to “get the job done”. It’s like a cult, they get into the mindset of “well I did it so everyone else has to too”.

Oh my goodness yes! Not to mention the whole if you don’t dress “modestly” it’s your fault if you get unwanted attention thing. It’s a grooming ground.

I don’t think it started as a derogatory term, but it became so. People would use it to imply that someone was ugly or otherwise defective, so no husband would want them. A man unattached is still seen as more acceptable than a woman unattached even today.

I mean there were women too, they were commonly called derogatory names like spinstress.

I think it’s intentional, and I like it. Shows the family similarity, and gene/features do tend to express themselves more strongly in the generation after. Or at least in my family experience, my parents are both brown hair and eyed but many of my siblings have the blonde hair and blue/grey eyes of my grandparents.

It does sound like something out of Good Omens.

I was just saying I personally don’t see much benefit in mensa, and therefore don’t particularly find that part heart warming. I also think labeling kids that early is rarely beneficial. It does come off as rather child exploitation-y. But at least it sounds like their parents are doing their best to make sure their kids are raised in a balanced way.

I think it’s a nice story. Not so much the Mensa stuff, but their parents seem to be attentive and have a good relationship with them. Not pushing them into things they don’t like and instead encouraging them in things they enjoy (like the video games).

I had a similar experience. I have a very demanding pushy cat who doesn’t like other cats because he sees them as attention competition. We got another cat 2 months younger kept him separated for two weeks and then slowly started having supervised visitation. He hissed and growled outside the door at first and then later a bit to his face. But by the end of the month they could be left alone together. This is them, about a month and a half after Ozzie came home with us.

Yeah, I started the first episode got 5mins in and the animation made me quit. I came back later, when I was feeling more open minded. I enjoyed the story, still not sure about that animation but I will watch it.
