A. Amos Love,
You must mean “Oh what a fool am I”?
Mark,
You said:
As you are all aware i have been slow in response and the comments here seem to reflect that i am avoiding answering questions, thus my view is terrible, i treat women unfairly.
I think we can understand the slowness when you tell us how busy you are. I have had such times of busyness myself that I wondered if I ever had time for this blog. Often I haven’t posted here until between 1 am and 3 am because that was the only free time I had. So I do understand and am compassionate with someone who is busy.
However the failure to address the issues was concerning to me along with an apparent misunderstanding of my own questions and/or answers. Perhaps you just read the words too quickly and that was a cause for misunderstanding. However with all of this, I don’t think we could say that you treat women unfairly. I for one don’t know how you treat women. Some have a biased and prejudiced view of women (I am not talking about you) yet they never act of this prejudice. How you actually act out your view is not altogether clear. We can know what you believe by your defense of your position, but we haven’t heard how you practice living out that position so it would be unwise for us to assume that you are unfair to women.
I think it would be a very good thing to go through each of the questions, the rephrased questions and additions questions brought up by your answers and try to answer each point. I do think your idea would be helpful. Also answering one at a time is helpful to keep us focused on that one question.
I look forward to your comments and hearing the answers to the questions that you have not yet addressed. Thanks!
