The Women Will Lead You Astray
This post and the comments suggest that young women have given themselves to the cause of Climate Change.
Atomized unmarried young women in particular seem more vulnerable to “mass formation” and whatever other ideological monstrosities prey on fractured societies.
Yet they want to marry conservative men, because conservative men believe in ideals like commitment and masculine virtues – ideals that serve women very well in the long run. But here’s the rub:
You shall not intermarry with them: do not … take their daughters for your sons. For they will turn your children away from Me to worship other gods. (Deut. 7:3)

Unmarried women almost always turn to nanny Gov and all that goes with it . They have a God given heart longing for security . If there brainwashing by the culture , big edu and big entertainment keeps them from men . Then Gov becomes their husband . That means that those from the right in gov become Hun’s at the door that must be vanquished .
The truth of the matter is . When women were given the right to vote . Our undoing was assured . Just a matter of time .
A question for Christians. For women to accept Christ as Redeemer are the requirements, tools, and opportunities to be the same as for men and, if not, where should they be different?
At the foot of the cross all are on level ground .
Are we not just observing a passing phenomenon? The climate change movement is based on false information and will be gone soon.
Which is why I quoted the Torah. The gods may change, but the underlying human dynamic remains.
I hope you’re right, but consider this: Marxism is also based on false information and shows no signs of passing, after more than a century and a half. Also, billions of dollars per year in grift, graft, and media clicks depend on the climate change movement not passing.
This has been asserted several times recently on Ricochet. What on earth is the basis for this claim?
I have as much contempt for the AWFLs (or maybe SAWFLs if you throw Single in there) as the next guy, but regarding your title, don’t dudes have some responsibility not to allow themselves to be (mis)led astray?
It’s not widely admitted/acknowledged by those women – for hopefully-obvious reasons – but it’s possible to find examples on YouTube and elsewhere.
It’s possible to find examples on YouTube of pretty much every conceivable opinion. That doesn’t mean there’s critical mass. That’s like a “journalist” seeing a racist Xeet from some rando with 147 followers and extrapolating white supremacy OMFG to the entire United States.
Not to speak for @iwe, but one way to take the OP is as a warning to dudes about this risk, encouraging them to not be led astray.
Sorta like the hot/crazy quotient that older men often warn young men about.
You’re right, but I think this a very old preference that Leftie women won’t admit to. It’s like the woman who wants a sensitive guy who expresses his emotions, and then criticizes him for being soft or weak. I have no data to suggest that’s from the Left and not the Right.
Here’s one. There are many, many more. The @Whatever podcast features this opinion on a very regular basis.
At least warn them about redheaded strippers named “Tiffany.”
Perhaps to be more exact, the women say they want to “date” and marry liberal men but they want those liberal men to have values and behavior that liberal men would not have.
So they don’t necessarily SAY they want conservative men, but the liberal men they say they want would actually be conservative.
Yep, Ibid.
What people say they want is not the same as what they actually want. We are all very good at lying to ourselves.
Thanks.
Also mentioned here, by the way:
And this has a catchy tune:
I’m sure there’s an interesting story behind this comment.
It’s the old “power to cloud men’s minds” business. Apparently, it’s easier than it ought to be.
Same gifts, not same callings.
There’s been some study that women find conservative men more attractive.

It’s a contraction of a section of the video that introduced me to the hot/crazy matrix some time back.
Maybe “Tiffany” used to be “Anthony?”
Oh, and they and others regularly point out that a lot of women have “preferences” that only apply to like 5% or less of men: over 6 ft tall, high income, etc.
Which is also why, as they sometimes also point out, a lot of women are “chasing after” the same smaller number of men and then upset when the men aren’t “faithful.”
Social pressures to conform are operative to some degree on everyone, but they seem to be significantly more powerful, on the average, in the case of women. The fear of being excluded from the Group, whatever that group might be, is very strong. A woman at another blog compared it to the fear of death, which she recognized was ridiculous, but, still, the fear was there for her.
No, they are not. Christian teaching on this is perfectly clear. Children are to submit to parents. Wives are to submit to husbands. Women are not to teach or lead men. There are positions of leadership among women, typically translated as deaconesses. Older women are to teach and guide younger women, and women have a role in instructing children.
Unfortunately, Liberalism, including its feminist manifestation, has infected the Church also.
The question was about salvation , not positional statis in society .
