How feminism and women's suffrage undermine and attack biblical manhood

Feminism and women’s suffrage were and are a direct assault on biblical manhood. They evolved hand-in-glove. They are part and parcel of one another and one cannot exist without another. Of course, most of us realize this but not everyone realizes the immense damage caused by them or that they were a direct assault on manhood and a man’s God-given command to lead and provide for his own family.…

Voter Apathy -- Part II (A Reprisal from 2018)

Yesterday morning I reprised Part I of a three-part post I wrote in 2018 about voter apathy.  Now, you might think that I should write a new one, rather than reprise one from six years ago, but as I read over it to refresh my memory, I find that these posts are every bit as relevant today as they were in 2018.  Today’s is less critical than Part I, more of an assessment of who is more likely to…

Women's suffrage and the destruction of the home

Feminism and the destruction of the home Women’s suffrage led us to feminism. The goal of the women who are responsible for the start of women’s suffrage, and thus feminism was to destroy Christianity, the biblical family, men’s influence in the home, church, and society, and any sense of normalcy in our homes or society. They have greatly achieved this goal. 19th amendment One of the tools…

The Great Miss Lydia Becker

Long before the Daily Mail coined the term “suffragette” in 1906, women campaigned for equality, including the amateur scientist Lydia Becker. Despite establishing a centre for the suffrage movement in Manchester and founding the Women’s Suffrage Journal, Becker does not get nearly as much praise as the women who followed in her wake, such as Emmeline Pankhurst and Millicent Fawcett. Lydia…

The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis #HistoricalFiction #NYPL

I just got done with a #FionaDavis book not too long ago and knew I had to read more. So I picked up her highly-rated #TheLionsofFifthAvenue and found it a good book. #NYPL #NewYorkPublicLibrary #bookreview #audiobook #suffrage #womensrights #bookreview

Time To Really Amend The Constitution

Time To Really Amend The Constitution

While doing a bit of research on the original sin of racism in the United States, I came across this quote by Benjamin Franklin. I find it a powerful argument for why the Constitution of the United States needs to be either completely re-written or deeply studied and amended. I say this because it was written entirely by white men. At the time, this made “sense” as nobody else was allowed to own…
