It’s one of the most well known facts in social science that women initiate the vast majority of divorces – around 70% or so depending on the source you look at. It’s a fact I have never heard an evangelical pastor mention. In fact, as one feminist scholar found in her academic research, in evangelical sermons ‘women are framed primarily as receivers of divorce rather than initiators.’ And, while there have been improvements, divorce court and child custody practices still favor women. . . . It’s also worth asking what Blake – and by extension the rest of the evangelical leadership class – are doing to reduce these risks, help men manage them, or to create an environment in which men have a better chance of marital success. The answer is basically nothing. . . . They could tell men, “Get married and we’ve got your back.” But they don’t. Instead, should some man actually get married and any troubles arise, they will almost certainly blame him for it.”
Evangelicals, is there nothing they can't fuck up?
Nope not scarred by that, but scarred by the the girl he met on an adult dating site who lied that she was 18 and was actually 14 yr. He went to jail and suffered for years simply because a girl lied about her age. There is all kinds of proof, to include the girls confession that he was entrapped, but the laws (written by the Devil) require men to be omniscient and know the truth regardless of what they're told.
I'm sorry to hear that man, that's awful. It really is an absolute minefield out there for men today. I can totally understand why some men just give up on women completely. I'll pray for your son, for what it's worth.
BTW, it's no picnic for women either. I have a woman in her late 20's who has no idea how she can find a real man who is devoted to Catholic/Christian values. Every guy she meets is basically a practicing atheist. The last guy that asked her out said he'd go to Church with her and consider faith while he did, to which I told her meant "I'll pretend to care while I use the time to work my way into your pants". He's a good guy but she wisely passed.
Thanks, I can't tell you how much that's appreciated. It's pretty obvious this is the Devil's world when I have three young professionals living with me who all got fired, while they were the best performers at their job based on the jobs performance measurements.
Fucking hell that's scary, this is why I'm always going to ask a girl for her ID if I even hang out alone with her and I don't care if it pisses her off and every guy should do the same. I also think it should be a rule you never interact with a girl alone under the age of 20 just because adult male/teenager always has negative connation's.
Yeah, he started doing that immediately thereafter, but the sad part is girls get fake IDs. Heck my mom ( a very Christian woman) bragged about doing it when she was a teenager and was 100% fine with my sister doing the same. Pray is pretty much all you can do. My son just hit his one year anniversary with his wife, who is a great match for him. God chastises those he loves, and, I think, seriously bitch-slaps those He really loves if they step out of line.
