Do you do one thing every day that scares you?

I don't think this virtual diagnosis works. Too small a proportion of the women I have known have corresponded to the characteristics and attributes your cited article described so its claims do not work as generalisations to my way of thinking. Besides, a diagnosis that has any validity would have to be made by a trained psychologist or psychiatrist, and they would insist on meeting the subject in person.

Its not a diagnosis. Its a study and it makes generalized statements about people in general. Women are in fact more prone to phobias than men. They are in fact prone therefore to be more delusional than men. Therefore they are likely to develop mental illness because of this more than men. These are facts. Maybe there are other studies done to show this is not the case.

Me? I doubt that. He does not dispute facts. Also I cannot understand why people need a scientific study to prove, show or demonstrate things that can easily be proved by just being observant and aware of people around you. I just guessed that women are more prone to phobias and because of the comments I Googled it and it came up.

Are they also saying excessive phobias lead to mental health problems ? Well thats an interesting one... lol.

It depends really what and where you Google. For example:

'About 19 million Americans have one or more phobias that range from mild to severe. Phobias can happen in early childhood. But they are often first seen between ages 15 and 20. They affect both men and women equally. But men are more likely to seek treatment for phobias.'

So what exactly did I say that is misogynistic?

You have on numerous occasions tried to demean Suzianne on account of the fact she is a woman and suggest that she, and other women, should be subservient to men based on accusations rooted in stereotypical slurs that you aim at them. Perhaps you are not aware of it because of your old fashioned attitudes.

Right. Guilty on that one... is that it? Now when I do that its because there is a religious topic on the board and she promotes some pretty weird interpretations and also gets very emotional and even delusional about that point. Its the reason why Paul told women to keep quiet and discuss these matters home with their husband instead of in the churches.

Women and men are two different beings. Failure to understand that leads to problems.

This word ...misogynistic ... is confusing. Not sure what it means. Its like Ismomaphobia.

Mmm. I haven't picked up on much Islamophobia from you. Have you been accused of it? A good example of Islamophobia was provided by Executioner Brand, a poster who has been banned and then re-banned a further 24-25 times in 2022-23. He claimed that all Muslims are pedophiles and that all the crime in the world is committed by Muslims. That would be Islamophobia in my book.

The differences that there are don't warrant demeaning abuse and slurs. But you've pled guilty to that. So be it.

Ok point taken.

I'll let Christians debate the propriety of Paul's words.

Jesus had a healthier view of women than Paul. Seeing as you like to Google: 🙂

'Jesus demonstrated only the highest regard for women, in both His life and teaching. He recognized the intrinsic equality of men and women, and continually showed the worth and dignity of women as persons. Jesus valued their fellowship, prayers, service, financial support, testimony and witness.'

Yes it does actually, if like in the case of Suzainne she gets abusive about it, refusing to accept what the bible says and even insulting Paul and the teachings to the early church. There are times when abuse works wonders.

What do you know about Christian's? Are Christians and Catholics the same thing??

This is FMF test to see if he knows the answer. 🙂

As for her behaviour, you'll get no argument from me about how she is sometimes delusional. I'd say cowardly as well.

I think you are confusing two things. Paul had is his midst a bunch of gossipping, materialistic and worldly Gentile women. These were mostly Jews that surrounded Jesus, who were already steeped in the teachings of the Torah. They knew of their role as women in these times.

Paul had a harder time with the Gentiles than Jesus had with Jews, so he had to be a bit more forceful.

I think, with your abuse [aimed at her, for instance], you sometimes sell yourself short. If you are hitting boundaries, you need not be sledging too.

But everyone can see when she's being insulting, and vacuous, and angry, and when she is dodging the point by being abusive. People can see it.
