THE MORNING RANT: “Church Ladies of the Left” – AWFLs Are the Fallen Angels of Puritan Christianity
It’s so liberal precisely because it’s so white. Whites, and specifically Anglo-Saxons, were the world’s first liberals. When we consider that New England is one of the most ancestrally Anglo part of the country and remains very heterogeneous compared to the rest of America, it’s no surprise that places like Vermont or Massachusetts would be so liberal. Things like Progressivism and Wokeism are what happens when Anglo Puritans secularize their theology and universalize their unique cultural way of life. New England did both of these things long ago, which is a huge reason why it’s one of the largest left-wing bastions in America.I am going to repeat this line outside of the blockquote because it brilliantly and concisely explains one reason why there are Church Ladies of the Left: ”Things like Progressivism and Wokeism are what happens when Anglo Puritans secularize their theology.” Mr. Heiens went on to speculate as to why Appalachian whites, who are also descended from Anglo protestants, did not become such woke evangelists.
This got me thinking about why Appalachia didn’t follow suit as it was also settled by Anglo Protestants. I think a big reason why is because while New England went down the puritanical/reformist communitarian/institutional oriented route that eventually ended in Wokeism as a sort of secular theology, the Anglo settlers who moved into Appalachia went down the “rugged individualist” path of Liberalism.While it’s true that Appalachia is more “rugged individualist” than New England, I think this difference is rooted in the provenance of the settlers. Puritans settling in New England tended to be from East Anglia, whereas Appalachia was settled in large part by Scots-Irish. The Scots-Irish were the rednecks of Great Britain, and although they may have been protestant, they certainly weren’t puritan. This difference in protestant lineages actually supports the hypothesis that today’s woke AWFLs are linear descendants of 17th Century puritans. Overwhelmingly, the accusers in the Salem witch trials were puritan women. Today’s AWFL woke-scolds are heirs to their legacy.
This got me thinking about why Appalachia didn’t follow suit as it was also settled by Anglo Protestants.

Present company excepted, having women be rabbis and ministers has turned out catastrophically. It is generally (and I stress that term) true that women will perform the most intricate mental prestidigitation to justify doing what they want to do instead of what they ought to do. "My feelz" will beat out "my duty" any time.

I saw a video of a British guy (who amusingly was of East Asian descent) tackling a black immigrant who had shoplifted from a store.
A pudgy white security card eventually caught up with the two and called the cops and shortly thereafter a late 50s white woman walks over and starts berating the Asian guy for being racist and anti-immigrant

60 Year ago churches ladies had...church, and kids, and grandkids, and a retired husband to worry about.
Now? They are retired/semi-retired from what was a "send emails" job. They have perhaps one or two children who live on the other side of country and don't have much to do with them. And most importantly they stopped believing in Christianity years ago
So absent traditional religion or faith how do you add meaning to your life? Well, how about the Woke Religion? It has heaven and hell and notes you can literally create the former on earth...RIGHT NOW...if you just get rid of those pesky white men

"Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of hockey−fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean−mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy."

I'd mentioned earlier about a gal on X who demanded men be forced to wear body cams to expose all the harassment they commit upon women daily.
But the mindset behind that thought is amazing:
1) the confident belief that all men are guilty of the sin of harassment
2) that all men must be punished and forced to wear a body cam
3) that men's privacy is not important compared to exposing their assured sins
4) that men must know their place as less than women, and accept this (a) assumed sin and (b) this loss of freedom and privacy
5) that women--who can freely choose to wear body cams to prove this accusation--should not bear that burden in the least (because men are less than and are sinners)
The best response was:
This will backfire worse than police body cams. And probably prove why the Salem Witch Trials burned those women.

If you are interested in this sort of politico historical trend analysis, look up Daniel Elazar, American Federalism: A View from the States.
He created a typology of traditionalistic, moralistic, and individualistic political cultures where one state like New England, for historical and sociological issues is more moralistic in nature, while Southern states with a cavalier and planter culture were more traditionalistic. Market oriented states like NY were more individualistic.
Within states, there is often a mix of cultures too--for example in North Carolina, you have a very different political culture as distance increases from the ocean. South Carolina has the piedmont and the lowlands. Georgia has the mountains, piedmont, and then coastal lowlands.
So geography plays a part, sociology does as well, wealth accumulation, and past traditions. And these are reflected by the political candidates put forward and the state parties in adapting to their particular mix of voters.

We are wheels up to Portland, OR today, driving to Redmond tomorrow to visit Smash's parents grave sites. It'll probably be the last time she visits, and most likely Junior-ette's only visit. Would appreciate it if y'all could spare a prayer for Smash, please. She lost her Dad when she was seven and her mom when she was fourteen.

My wife is involved in dance. (I'll be unspecific as to which style to spare her from problems.)
There are definitely other conservative women in her style of dance, but almost all of them keep a low profile.
The religious fervor of the vocal dancers online is insane. They lash out at anyone they see even slightly outside of liberal dogma.
One professionally famous woman gave an opinion on "cultural appropriation" that she had learned in school less than a decade before. It was outdated and she was cancelled for daring to say that outdated view openly.
I know some of the other famous dancers who are fairly liberal, but keep their mouths shut because they know they can be cancelled because they aren't zealous enough.

Another recent story I saw was about Elizabeth-Jane Ross who was an immigration volunteer in Scotland.
She was murdered and chopped up by an Afghan she helped bring in.
One problem we have with all of this is something of a re-play of COVID.
Pure bloods argued you had to do your own research and think things through not blindly believe what the FNM tells you.
BranchCOVIDians argued thinking for yourself is dangerous and you aren't qualified. So no with immigration the "experts" say the newcomers are all refugees that just need a hand to work and benefit society so you have all these left leaning people refusing to do anything other then repeat what they hear on the FNM even if it gets them chopped up and put into a suitcase

So, it sounds like the AWFL cohort took God out of religion, took the name "religion" out of religion, but didn't actually get rid of religion.
Also a reminder that, whenever you hear people say that replacing government with a matriarchy would be utopia because "Women just work together better than men", any respect for them should drop to near-zero. The easiest counter-factual is the "mean-girl clique" in schools; if you ever became an enemy of theirs, for whatever reason (and 'reason' is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there), it meant war. Maybe a cold war, but there was no peace to be had.

Regular non-political,women are targeted and recruited by ill-intentioned leftist activist women. It usually starts small, with something they agree strongly about. Some obvious injustice of some kind.
Then they move them to a local "group" for more answers, and that's it - they are in.
That's the old way. I'm sure it's gotten more efficient these days. Hell the media is doing half the job already. You want to know why the media never stops lying, no matter the evidence etc, it's part of the recruitment program.

This post is, specifically and particularly, about my ex's mother.
She (the mother) is an Episcopal priest and EVERYTHING is politics. Everything. On VERY rare occasion, something shows potential for breaking through, but Politics is All.
Her son was married for years, had two children, and his wife was lovely. The wife, though, decided she was a lesbian, so kicked him out, kept the kids, moved the girlfriend into the house, and found a court to order him to keep paying the mortgage. On a house he couldn't live in.
The ex's mother acknowledged how difficult it was to see her son be destroyed by the very thing she advocates (gay/women's rights), but ended up in the 'progress will never be perfect' camp.
It's mind-bottling.

Males and Females are wired differently, though the progressives had a short period of the narrative where we were all admonished to “celebrate our differences!” this didn’t last very long.
They have this idea that humans are basically interchangeable meat-sticks. Or maybe it would be great if they were.
A complete revamping of the education system is overdue. Co-ed is a mistake as well. Young Males and Females together in close proximity is nothing more than a huge distraction, at best. Ceding control of the schools to whack jobs was an incremental disaster.

You know what would be fun? If men should have to wear a cam because they are more likely to sexually harass someone then a woman is...does this especially also apply to certain ethnic and cultural groups of men that have an even higher rate of harassment?

I think this difference is rooted in the provenance of the settlers. Puritans settling in New England tended to be from East Anglia, whereas Appalachia was settled in large part by Scots-Irish. The Scots-Irish were the rednecks of Great Britain, and although they may have been protestant, they certainly weren’t puritan.
-----
I don't think it was provenance so much as motive. The Puritans left because they wanted to practice their religion and build the City of G-d anew.
The Scots and Scots-Irish left because the English systematically forced them off their lands in both countries. They wanted to go somewhere that nobody could ever do that again, and had a healthy fear and hatred of government at a conceptual level.
Not "this government is fallen and a godly one will be better," but "I'm going to go live in the wilderness with the Indians, and let all government go horsefuck. See if they care to follow me into this trackless waste, brandishing their gay little papers and edicts."

this is also probably a good place to make the disclaimer that there is not a more conservative sub-demographic of women than white women
Married white women are conservative.
Unmarried white women are almost as Leftist as black women.
It's why the Left works so hard at undermining the institution of marriage.

Males and Females are wired differently, though the progressives had a short period of the narrative where we were all admonished to “celebrate our differences!” this didn’t last very long.
Reading through threads of youngish women complaining about not being able to find a guy won thing that really, really shines is they have no idea how men thing or why.
Yes, it is harder to understand how the opposite sex thinks but this is something where as a seasoned 29 year old young people are dumber about this then my generation was, and more so women then men.

But the mindset behind that thought is amazing:
1) the confident belief that all men are guilty of the sin of harassment
Another fun side of this, I've seen a million videos by women asking why men rarely approach women any more.
Well ladies, maybe ask yourself what changed in society over 20 years or so?

Back when people were constantly yelling about the religious right, I was telling anyone who would listen that the religious left were the real problem. The most-leftist of them attend some very liberal church where the "pastor" is a lesbian with spikey hair. Politics is the real religion, dressed up in their favorite interpretations of Christianity. Sounds a little like islam, but those interpretations are closer to their actual texts that they follow (koran, hadiths).

Francis Alcock Hutchins was the last victim of the Salem Witch Trials. Died imprisoned for the crime of wearing a scarf outside her social status. She was an indentured servant (slave) of some other passenger.
This ship was The Bevis of Hampton, sailed in 1638. Other notable passengers were Richard (The Colonist) Austin. Forefather of the founder of Texas, Moses Austin.

The Church of the Left offers salvation here and now.
It elevates their faithful to their rightful station, above all other sinners, today--and the more faithful, the more rewarded.
Christianity is lacking for those people.
It offers no rewards today, but stores them up in some far-off "Heaven."
It assures you God's Plan is not your plan and that He knows what is best for you.
Pride has convinced these apostates and atheists they know what is best for themselves.
That they should be in power.
That they do in fact live a perfected life, and it is not right unless they are in power.
"Come over here," whisper the acolytes of Satan, "here you will have your true station that honors your devotion today and now."

Unmarried white women are almost as Leftist as black women.
Often also married to Uncle Sugar just like black women too.
I suspect if you could reduce government welfare/bureaucracy spending to reasonable levels you might seriously mend the current incarnation of the "battle of the sexes"...

One of the problems with analysis like this is it doesn't take into account how politics and election rigging play into power and stereotypes.
Northeast states aren't as uniformly aligned as electoral politics and power would indicate. But gerrymandering and election rigging, which has been going on since the days of Tammany Hall if not longer, have given outsized representation and power to the left and neutered conservatives and individualists. It becomes a self-fulfilling story, the more the left wins the louder their voices become and the more the right retreats from a hopelessly rigged game. And nobody takes advantage of this more than loudmouth leftist women.
Sure, some of it can be attributed to ethnicity and cultural issues but probably less than some think.

This is one of my pet subjects, but it is 12:00 am so I am not sure I can make any sense in a comment.
I think this is right, but indirectly. The "rednecks" went to Appalachia because they were not as citified. The point is that in in city society, a person who wants to display value to the community has limited paths. One is to show others that they know the rules and follows them - church ladies.
Step back -- all humans have a need to show the community that they are of value. Most men do this through strenght and cunning. Women have fewer options. They can not do it by being attractive, as that is value to them, and not the community - it attracts criticism. They can also get a high value man, but same problem. A man can stand nightwatch, or build a fence, or whatever, but women can't.
So many channel this inherent need to show the community they have value by pointing out their virtue and they do that by showing an adherence to a "morality," but it is a false morality as it requires no sacrifice to themselves personally. It is false empathy. Liberalism. Wokeism.
Rural culture does not value this, as rural culture values people minding their own. The fork is self-reinforc

That is one problem. I want a 6ft, 6 figure (now $250K) plus man with a 6 pack. Well ok that's a faction of a percentage of the population...are you also in the top .5% of women as considered by men?
But these women I'm talking about aren't being this level of crazy. They just don't understand why for example bragging about having a PhD or being promoted to Director of HR isn't having men bang down their doors for a date...because the converse would make them interested in a man.

"This got me thinking about why Appalachia didn’t follow suit as it was also settled by Anglo Protestants. I think a big reason why is because while New England went down the puritanical/reformist communitarian/institutional oriented route that eventually ended in Wokeism as a sort of secular theology, the Anglo settlers who moved into Appalachia went down the “rugged individualist” path of Liberalism."
Appalachia was settled mostly by Scots-Irish, the opposite of woke. They settled there because they just wanted to be left alone.

The Nazi propagandists, and they were pros, targeted females most aggressively. Radio broadcasting was in relative infancy, inexpensive or free “People’s Radios” distributed far and wide meant every home across Germany could get a direct firehose or pipeline of official pronouncements from on high. This was a new development in coordination. Any political movement has to get everyone on board, women are no different in that aspect.

The fork is self-reinforcing, but it comes down to this inherent need for people (but we are talking about women now) to show virtue to their community. It makes them feel of value.
This connects to my absolute loathing the term "suicidal empathy."
What they are doing -- and pushing the wider community to do -- is not empathy. They are not empathetic. They are trading other peoples money (OPM) in as a way to show their own virtue.
These women are not empathetic. These are the women who champion abortion. Or who divorce and damage kids and family. They are the ones who cheat on their husbands. It is the same strain -- they are attention and virtue craving monsters.
OK, tired now.

Their new religion is therapy. The language is flooded into our culture "emotional intelligence" "trauma" etc. All presuppositions are based on this now, all culture is built around it, all storytelling and policy and law are based on it.

The guy said, well honestly I just want to be left alone - so how about this, you stop taxing me and I'll stop even trying to talk or associate with anyone left of center deal?
And the leftist responded "No way its your civic duty to pay for the government we all want and need!"

Nothing new at all about Puritan do-gooders causing immense trouble, all in the name of righteousness. Ask Charles I.
And Americans have been bothered by it for 200 years now. See e.e. Cummings poem, "The Season 'Tis, My Lovely Lambs" (start of poem below):
the season ’tis,my lovely lambs,
of Sumner Volstead Christ and Co.
the epoch of Mann’s righteousness
the age of dollars and no sense.

I would say, generally speaking, that the sorts of women who take to social media on this matter are all in competition for the 50 guys, nationwide, who meet their acceptability criteria and they are perpetually confused as to why a guy who can jump into bed with a couple dozen dozen different women every day won't wife them up.

The Nazi propagandists, and they were pros, targeted females most aggressively. Radio broadcasting was in relative infancy, inexpensive or free “People’s Radios” distributed far and wide meant every home across Germany could get a direct firehose or pipeline of official pronouncements from on high. This was a new development in coordination. Any political movement has to get everyone on board, women are no different in that aspect.

Another big cause of loudmouth leftist women, universities.
Take a look at where some of the most culturally influential universities are located. They have been breeding grounds for radicalism for generations.
Lizzie Warren isn't from the northeast. She's an injun from Oklahoma. She became a MA resident via Harvard which churns our leftwing women like a factory. Same with the crazy mayor of Boston. She was born and raised in Chicago.

I would add another observation.
Being a woke AWFL scold is a luxury belief.
Impoverished Appalachian women don't have time for that shit.
Even if they are now middle class, THEY grew up with a grandma that didn't have time for that shit.

One thing that really depresses me in New England is how most of the churches, especially the ones with nice old buildings in the center of town fly tranny flags.
It makes me understood how French people felt in the 40s seeing a German flag over their village.

I recently had a 1993 VHS tape of my brother teaching a class on the Civil War converted to 3 USB drives for each one. Saw the youngest (now 26) last week and gave hime the drive. It’s the only video of his father, of whom he has no memories. When he said, I’ve never heard his voice, I almost lost it. It’s brutal to lose a parent that young. I can’t imagine losing both.

You are fortunate. Many women are just living their lives, have no idea about politics or anything else, and they are ripe for the plucking from bad actors. People in their circle who they have no idea are deranged cultists. The Left has many of these constantly scanning for victims.
We like to theorize on what's going on In AWFL heads and are sometimes quite accurate, but until one knows the mechanism they cannot possibly fight it. Single women and unhappily married women make for perfect targets.

I see the broad brush is in play. As an unmarried woman I am both socially and fiscally conservative
——
That isn’t the way to bet, though is it. A broad brush is used when a lot of territory needs to be covered with paint in a hurry.
The intact family with mom and dad is the basic building block of any society. That is why it is slated for destruction, even by a group purporting to believe “black lives matter”. It’s right on their webpage.
Replacing self determination and local control with the power of the State. This is the hallmark of collectivist and totalitarian ideologies regardless. People want to argue about left or right, nazi or communist or fascist or whatever, but the dirty little secret is it’s all the same goddamned thing.
It’s a top down structure, not a left/right thing.
“Single Moms” is a failure of government and society. Not a phenomenon that should be celebrated or subsidized.
The so-called “Great Society” programs destroyed communities. It must have been done on purpose, calculated by the ideological heirs of Goebells and/or Soviet counterparts to the most damage.
Everything within the state, nothing without the state

I'm going to disagree somewhat with this.
The left leaning men I know say the same things as the left leaning women but its pretty clear they don't actually believe them.
For example I had a group of left leaning cow-workers I went out to lunch with for a while. At one point they started discussing which of the local Asian rub and tugs were the best as if this was a normal thing to talk about with coworkers. And yes, most of them were married.

I realize I didn't tie it into Buck's post very well.
What happened is that the culture that wanted to be left alone to do their thing went to Appalachia ("Fresh air"!) The culture that wanted city life ("Times Square!") went to the port cities.
This is true, but the underlying motive (attention and virtue display) is present in both, only it becomes pathological in the city culture where they have no connection to the costs and they are not criticized by the local culture for not minding their own business.
What't funny to me, if you ever go to M. E., you will find the women in sacks the worst fucking scolds there are when a woman shows hair or needs to be stoned. Same driving emotion as we have in the West.

First time I attended, I was watched during the service and questioned before I enteed. I was, however, quickly accepted and soon became an official member.

You have poor eyesight or flat feet or can't hear as well out of one ear or worse something like being born without a leg. ALL OF US have something like that, at least one thing.
Our minds are no less messed up. Some are worse than others but we all have some damage up there, too.

As I've often said, the lie of those societies is that the women are controlled by men. No. They are controlled by other women.
Women - most women - live with an inborn fear of what other women think of them, and it has the ability to dictate a life. That may be diminishing somewhat in this age of dire isolation we live in but it's not being replaced with anything better.
Now all that said about what other women think? Not Brit Lass. Hell, she doesn't even care what *I* think of her, let alone some woman.

One thing that gives me hope: feminists have so terrorized men for so long, that family formation in the blue zones has cratered. This will only be exacerbated by the recent mass-migration, which appears thus far to be much more values-based than purely economic like the others.
There's a very real possibility that our ability for people to meet each other and have sex without fear means that we can beat Communism by default, using the simplest mechanism of all.

I've long been convinced that leftist women think all men are terrible because leftist men ARE uniformly terrible.
And the women think that if the ones that agree with them are that bad, the conservatives have to be MUCH worse!
(Also, they make sure not to associate with any conservatives so they never get their beliefs tested.)

"Why are the men I'm actually attracted to all conservatives?"
Because we're not shitty fembois, toots. Now take your septum piercing and fuck off.

Common Tater, I don't even know where to begin with this. What about the young mom whose husband has died. Military moms who have lost their husband in combat.
Personally, any woman on welfare that has another child while receiving benefits should immediately lose all benefits.

Yeah, no. AWFLs are a result of the F. Some of the trappings and their social mechanisms may be tied to churches, but it'd invariably be something retarded and self destructive.
Not that men do much better when untempered. You need some balance.

Actually I haven't. (Informative read?)
I did dearly love my maternal grandmother. She grew up in the Depression on a farm ... and therefore also had no time for that shit.
She came out of the kitchen one day and heard a rattlesnake under the sofa warning my five y.o. mother not to come any closer.
She grabbed my mother and took her outside, and grabbed the hoe. Went back in and flung the sofa aside and chopped the rattler in half.
My mother said she just went back into the kitchen to keep cooking after getting rid of the corpse.
This, from the same lady that made the best blueberry pie I have ever eaten.

Our minds are no less messed up. Some are worse than others but we all have some damage up there, too. The mistake is thinking we can fix it all and have a perfectly clear and undamaged mind if we just try enough. You're not gonna make all of it go away any more than you can manifest that missing leg.

related to the insane thing: we're all bad to each other as well. Its just that men's bad has been socially conditioned and legally restricted so that its less common than it used to be: don't hit women, get permission, don't solve everything with violence, etc. Now I would argue we've gone too far, but there it is.
The difference is that women are just as bad, but in different ways but the culture we live in celebrates and encourages bad behavior in women. Its like living in centuries ago when beating your wife was not just normal, but encouraged. Where you solved an argument with swords or pistols, but women weren't allowed any voice at all in public.

I think the most destructive aspect of Leftism / marxism / communism is that it invites people to outsource their morality so that it is only based on loyalty to the Party and saying whatever is party dogma at the time. Upon doing that, the member is absolved and invited to engange in the most loathsome personal behavior possible, with no threat of condemnation. (until people outside the group start hearing about it)

As I've often said, the lie of those societies is that the women are controlled by men. No. They are controlled by other women.
worse: MEN are controlled by women. Men live in fear of what women will do to us, and cringe and obey out of he concern that we'll be destroyed socially, economically, and legally if we don't.
We men need to step up. Someone will be in charge, and we've ceded nearly everything to women and feminine tendencies. We gave up masculine Christianity for feminine therapy. We gave up truth and reason for empathy and feelings.
A good society needs both, but one side WILL be in charge, and in general, its been better for good men to be in charge of things in the past

I think they are overwhelmingly empty vessels without meaning or purpose, so they fill the vessels with bitterness, anger, hate, and regret. They hate the world because they hate themselves.
I don't think they transition to this, either. I think they were always this way. Show me an AWFuL today, and I'll bet money she was the annoying scold in school telling the teacher about the kids smoking in the bathroom.

Well, the Presbyterians are now substantially "different" in PA.
However, the Quakers and that darn Universal Unitarian group have caused the greatest damage in the Region.
States with the strongest historical and present-day presence of Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends) include Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
Unitarian Universalist congregations have the highest number of members and churches in Massachusetts, followed by other populous states like California and New York.
Remember that lots of political kids including the O daughters and all of the Biden grandkids went to Quaker school in D.C.? Sidwell Friends School.
In fact, while President Joe Biden is personally a Roman Catholic 🤣, but he and his family have a direct connection to Quaker education through the Wilmington Friends School in Delaware and the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C.
Reportedly, Beau, Hunter, and Ashley Biden also attended Wilmington Friends School (Quaker) in Alapocas, Delaware.
Jill Biden praised the school's nurturing environment and Quaker values.
And take a look at the crackpots affiliated with the UU group. Mercy!

Adding to my comment above, I don't think it's a coincidence that the Rise of the AWFuL came right after the explosion of woke race and culture bean-counting that put leftist minorities, gays, trans, and assorted perverts at the top of the food chain.
AWFuLs are almost always straight, white, affluent women. It's right there in the name. Without some gimmick or way to claw back power, AWFuLs would be almost at the bottom of the food chain, above only straight white men.
And that infuriates them. As I said above, these were the scoldy, authoritarian bitches in school. They always craved power. So they become woke champions, always kicking down at those below in the food chain, hoping that will enable them to rise up the chain.

Look at the recent news to see my point.
- man in hat shoots murderer at In N out
- Man (16yo) battles surf to rescue swimmer
etc., This is how men show value to community. We respect them and honor them.
Women mostly don't have that path - of being prepared and fit and trained. Women have to stand at the fucking border with signs saying "welcome refugees" as we are invaded.
You see the problem? Men channel that need into training and preparedness -- having the right tools. Women into virtue signaling. Then we drop religion and they no longer have a rulebook for what virtue is, and they drop family so they have lots of time.

I've often posted here about how Woke Leftism is an ersatz religion. People believe to fill a spiritual void, or they fake their belief for career advancement.
Women are more prone to Believing. When they do, they act like Church Lady scolds wherever they are. They have too much time on their hands even when at work.(cushy jobs!)
But they're not all women -- men do it too -- and not all women do this.
The demographic divide is more between College and Non-College: On the spectrum of beliefs, Non-College Women are only a bit to the Left of Non-College Men, and distant from College Men who are closer to College Women.
Non-College outnumber College by two to one, which is why Trump's been elected thrice.
Let's pray for four times, as he'll effectively be on the ballot in November.

Overwhelmingly, the accusers in the Salem witch trials were puritan women. Today’s AWFL woke-scolds are heirs to their legacy.
Would love to know the REAL story behind that. Not the glossed over history/hollywood bs.

I like the way the men I know think. Working with men, teaching them better skills with horses has made me a better person.

This has reminded me of a well known quote from US Grant, one reason many today believe he was somewhere on the autism scale - "I much prefer the company of Dogs and Horses to that of Men."

People are frustrating, often disgusting in their morality, and quite stupid herd animals when you boil it down. Men attempting to learn how to connect with animals, I suppose, is a simple, honest, and rewarding affair.

A complete revamping of the education system is overdue. Co-ed is a mistake as well. Young Males and Females together in close proximity is nothing more than a huge distraction, at best. Ceding control of the schools to whack jobs was an incremental disaster.

On Insty, it was noted that there used to be men only and women only colleges in close proximity.
Both would focus on their studies during the week and could have the weekend to pursue their mating.
Womens colleges were turned into lesbian finishing factories.
Mens colleges were just destroyed, or force to become co-ed.
To note that the prior arraignment was successful and offered benefit to the nation, while the current arrangement has no benefits will mark you as a bigot.

_______
It was an attempt by women -- overwhelmingly young and desperate to social-climb -- to destroy their rivals and gain power and attention for themselves.
Not many people know this, but the original accusers acted like possessed witches themselves, to gain attention and notoriety. Exactly what today's women of similar social aspirations do on social media: act extreme or often insane.
These original accusers sought to take out their rivals by accusing the rivals of casting spells on them. Then, when others saw that this could be used as a tool to take out rivals and undesirables, it was expanded to include men too.
But overall, the entire "witch trial" phenomena has been drastically over-stated. I don't think more than maybe a few dozen people were tried and convicted.

Ok. The children should be taken and re-homed since their parent obviously cannot provide for them.
We'd need to reopen orphanages, though.
Posted by: Formerly Virginian at August 03, 2026
Because nothing makes a strong, well adjusted child like ripping both of their parents away.
Out of curiosity, who pays for the children in your orphanages?

fortunately this is still the case around me with private high schools (and grade schools)
Bonner-Prendie is a neat example where one wing is boys and the other is girls, and the central main building houses the shared cafeteria, offices and library.
but here we have DevonPrep/AgnesIrwin, Malvern/Villa, Padua/Sallies, etc etc
those are near each other - Villa is walkable to Malvern Prep for example - but not on the same campus like Bonner.

198 Womens colleges were turned into lesbian finishing factories.
Mine wasn't . I didn't know a single lesbian who went there . There were certainly lesbians there but they were not in my circle and lesbianism wasn't something that was discussed. My closest roommate is a married - to a man for many years as are most of the women I went to school with. I dated men while I was in college
Were the male only colleges still open at the time finishing schools for gay men?

This has long been my theory. When Christianity was a cultural force, these women were attracted to it because it gave them both the self-righteousness and leverage.
They wanted to feel morally superior and have power over other people. Jesus was nothing more than a means to an end for them.
Once Christianity began to lose that authority in the culture, they quickly jumped ship and followed after the next cultural force, then the next, and currently wokeness. This is why the issues they fight for/against now can be diametrically opposed to the issues they fought for/against five years ago. The issues don't ever matter to them any more than Jesus did.

The problem I have with this statement is it only describes the kind of woman he prefers to hang out with.
The ones that aren't either aren't even on his radar, because they don't go the places he goes or do the things he does.

We all pay, especially the states depending...
The majority of children enter foster care in the United States due to parental neglect (62%), parental substance abuse (33%), and child abuse or domestic issues
There are 331,747 children in the US foster care system. The age distribution spans from newborns to older teenagers transitioning to adulthood
(Under 5): Represent roughly 30% of the foster population, often entering care due to immediate safety concerns at birth or during early development.
School-Aged Children (5–12): Account for approximately 40% of the population.
Teens (13–20): Make up roughly 30% of the system. Teens face unique barriers, as they are statistically the hardest to place with long-term foster families.
The system displays noticeable disparities compared to the general US child population:
White: ~43%
Hispanic: ~23%
Black/African American: ~22% (significantly overrepresented relative to the general population)
Multiracial & Native American: ~12%
The national foster care statistics cited above do not include unaccompanied migrant children who cross the US border without sponsors.
The data tracks only to the domestic child welfare system.

She grabbed my mother and took her outside, and grabbed the hoe. Went back in and flung the sofa aside and chopped the rattler in half.
My mother said she just went back into the kitchen to keep cooking after getting rid of the corpse.

Psh. Women aren't capable of that kind of bravery. She should have waited for a man to come take care of it.

And I don’t disagree agree with you. The purpose of welfare originally was to allow mothers to stay home with young children if they lost their husband, however that happened. A mom at home is a very positive thing, and could undue some of the ugly we see in society. But for the solution to be lose your child to an orphanage to avoid being g a single mom is pretty rough. I, of course, take this a little personally. But for the grace of God go I, you know? I could have easily needed social services there for a bit had J not decided I might be worth taking a chance on, special needs child and all.

I am done with this thread. Have a nice day

I hate these stats. It hurts my heart. Children should be loved, and safe. They should never wonder why their mom or dad didn’t love them enough to be the best parent they could be. And adults should put their children before anything, they are the greatest gift from God. I strongly believe there is a special circle in hell for any parent who puts their children in harms way - physical, mental, emotional.
