Fish in a barrel? Don't mind if I do!

I was reading the Ladies Against Feminism site again. So sue me - I'm waiting for Anthony Bourdain to come on. Plus, I like their advice to single ladies, especially the part where technically I should be living with my parents, but as an older lady, it's OK as long as I don't let unaccompained men into my home. I love that despite the fact that I am a relentless heathen, my lifestyle in Cali fits pretty much all of the drug-free, booze-free, man-free, modestly-dressed requirements set forth by the Christian ladies (except that I occasionally wear pants, and - oh yeah - the Jesus part, but that only makes it more hilarious).

So I'm reading this article about chivalry and feminism , and bla bla bla, it's nothing you haven't read a million times, but the part that I love most is this:

No truly romantic film involves the woman heroically saving the man. No work of great literature, from The Odyssey to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, has the women saving the men, or even fighting alongside the men.



Um, hello...Eowyn? I hope they read the bible a little more carefully than they read Return of the King.

And mom? Don't worry. You and Dad are safe...for now.

Several chicks bailed out Odysseus too. I wouldn't be surprised. That is how they read the bible - by not reading it at all! It's so much easier when someone tells you what it means. Wait, isn't that against the original impulse of Protestantism in the first place? To get rid of a corrupt ecclesiastical hierarchy trying to control your mind?
