Gengwall,

Sorry gengwall, let me qualify this – “Such a strange and crazy thing to be obsessed over – the control of another human being.” The context was men controlling women or gender hierarchy, not control in general by men over other people, male or female. I mean, or am talking about specificaly, men wanting to control females because they are female and not male.
Ever see the movie, The Reef which was released on video in 2011? Was based on a real story, and granted neither of thetwo couples were married. So..their ship is sinking and everyone involved had to make a choice whether or not to stay on top of the upside down boat or swim like 12 miles to the nearest island. One man stayed on the capsized boat and the other four, two females and 2 males took thier chance in the water. By the end, only one female survived and wasn’t eaten by a stalking shark, out of all five people. Horrible story in that the end was bad. Anyway, your example made me think of it, so just wanted to bring it up. My point is that no one was forced in their descision, and only one survived. I don’t think anyone can ‘force’ a descision on anyone in that kind of real life circumstance. And btw what was so interesting to me about the movie was watching the descion process of all the characters as each decided what they were going to do.

Also, I think it is not a sin to take control is certain circumstances no matter the scenario. And a perfect example would be a man or a woman taking control over another human being in a life threatenting situation, like the example you gave above. – If I KNOW I can save someone’s life by doing something, I might force my will and save their life.

“..alien from the intergalctic man cave.” lol You’re choice of words, too funny. My brother and a friend have been using “man cave” alot, so I’ve become accustomed to using the phrase. lol

And I want to remind you that where I come from in regards to why males want to rule/control females is based on the fall of Adam – “He shall rule over you” and therefore I believe that gender hierarchy or the desire of a male to control a female because she is not a male is sin.

Also where I come from, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with order and structure r the desire for it, but there’s everything wrong with ‘gender’ + ‘order’ – “gender order.”
