Marriage And Social Class

 I found a very interesting post about marriage settlements and why upper class families weren't really thrilled at the prospect of their daughters marrying below their status:

If we take a moment to consider what a settlement might look like between an aristocrat's daughter and a commoner, this might elucidate for us (one of the many reasons) why her parents would be less than enthused about approving such a marriage. The dowry would likely include properties that had been in the family for generations, land and estates that were a source of pride for the family. The bridegroom, in return, would offer the bride... what?

Left Vs Right On "Women's Rights"

 Should be called "Women's Wrongs" really:)

Too many people still have this illusion that while "the Left" is bad and liberal, "the Right" is "based" and traditional. The truth is that the difference between the modern Left and the modern Right is more akin to the difference between Trotsky and Stalin. 

Trotsky supported women working outside home, women in the government, women in all traditionally male occupations, women in the army, easy divorce, "free s8x" plus alphabet stuff and a8ortion on demand.  

Stalin supported women working outside home, women in the government, women in all traditionally male occupations, women in the army, easy divorce, but somewhat disapproved of "free s8x'' and forbade the last two, and encouraged the wives of high state officials to stay home. So one could say he was somewhat better, but by no means traditional. 

The same is partly true about the modern Right, except that the majority of right-wingers, especially in Europe wouldn't even dream about forbidding the last two points. So the difference is essentially that they somewhat disapprove of "free s8x" and don't mind that some women stay home. Christians with traditional views simply have no representation in the modern western politics. That's just a fact.

From The Home Front

 I'm sorry for the lack of posts. But it's been very warm and I have had a busy week. This weekend I'll be away from home again. I promise I'll write something next week. Hope you all are doing fine:)

Let's Talk Theology

 Actually, I wanted to talk about Trump's Golden Calf giant gold statue, but decided not to. It's old news by now anyway (life comes at you fast;), so let's talk theology instead.

What do you all think about Wesleyan Arminianism?

Stockholm Syndrome

 It doesn't exist;)
