Someone on Twitter wrote "332 B.C. called, they want this guy and his idiotic sign back."

1. The crap some people have to put up with...

[struggle4progress]

2. Dude forgot to put his phone number on the banner, in case he had any takers

[Sheldon Cooper]

5. I think that's a woman holding the sign.

Although I could certainly be wrong.

[HappyMe]

10. I was thinking the same thing.

My "correct" batting average isn't great though.


edit to add - As far as the sign goes, it's so stupid I don't think it's worth commenting on.

[Sheldon Cooper]

13. Yeah, I'm really not sure.

The features look softer, which makes me think (s)he's a woman, but on second thought (s)he's probably a guy.

[HappyMe]

14. Hard to say.

A caption of the photo in a newspaper article would settle it.

[RebelOne]

19. It is either a fat man or a very ugly woman. n/t

[Coyotl]

29. This is a MALE dictating to women using religion to support his views

I'm betting there's no wedding ring on his hand

[HappyMe]

31. There are plenty of women that

support that sign too.

[duffyduff]

35. What does the person's looks have to do with anything?

It would sure be a much nicer world if people didn't have such shallow beliefs as to think looks measure worth.

[NickB79]

32. Couldn't be, she'd be violating her own sign

Unless, of course, she was a hypocrite, and we know that's IMPOSSIBLE for a rightwinger to possibly entertain.

[kestrel91316]

45. Pretty sad when you can't even tell. I sure can't.

[Scuba]

3. Worst personal ad ever.

[A Little Weird]

22. You've got that right!

[WovenGems]

4. Oops!

One really shouldn't eat paint chips.

[onehandle]

6. Exactly how do they think they're 'superior' to Muslims?

[hobbit709]

7. Donna's statement was printed on the front of our invitations

"YOU CAN JUST FORGET ABOUT THAT OBEY PART"

[Thinkingabout]

8. Perry always makes condesending statement to women, does not matter if we are republican or

Democrat. I recall in the last governor's race he spoke to his two GOP opponents like he was the smartest man born. It is time for Perry to go.

[LordGlenconner]

9. Clearly that creature has never been with a woman

Submissive or otherwise.

[SummerSnow]

11. This is why he can't find a woman

[pipi_k]

12. Come on, you guys...

he's just doing a test of his ChristianMingle.com® dating profile!

[historylovr]

17. You owe me a new keyboard. :) eom

[HockeyMom]

15. Quiet?

Normally so, unless I get my "Irish" up. Submissive? ROFL, I've been married almost 40 years and never have been. Ironing? I haven't in about 50 years. Silent in Church? Stopped going to church about 50 years ago too.

[byeya]

23. Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife....Selah!

[LiberalAndProud]

34. It's a little known fact that the author of that Proverb was reincarnated

many centuries later as Rodney Dangerfield. "Take my wife, please."


It's true. I looked it up in the Akashic Records.

[LiberalAndProud]

16. The Bible has long been used to justify oppression.

It is frustrating that the editors elected to include so many ultra-conservative writers. So often the document proves to be a roadblock against what should be our struggle for a more fair and just society.

[abelenkpe]

18. Wow

can't believe anyone would even admit to thinking such things today. Sad that clearly some do, and it gets press.

[William769]

20. A woman's place is in the house!

Also the Senate, and IMHO the oval office.

[byeya]

21. care-takers? Not care-givers or even caretakers.

[duffyduff]

37. See my post above.

You can criticize the beliefs without taking potshots at somebody's looks.

Got news for you: There are "ugly" people who oppose this sexist nonsense.

[friendlyFRIEND]

25. I have a different perspective.

There actually ARE women who WANT to live that kind of life.

But it is a CHOICE.

Naggy do-gooders on the left shouldn't chide women who want to live that kind of life and disgusting people like the example above SHOULD NOT be preaching what others should do.

Live and let live.

[LiberalAndProud]

30. I'm pretty sure the guy in the OP isn't advocating CHOICE for women in any arena.

I do notice that if he has a wife, she failed to iron his shirt.

Men like this give TRUE CHRISTIANS® a bad name.

[friendlyFRIEND]

33. I think it's a woman, ewwww nt

[LiberalAndProud]

36. Sure you do.

[Coyotl]

40. The beard is a give-away, right?

That 5 o'clock shadow

[treestar]

59. It's a choice so long as the man cooperates

Not a true choice. If he decides he is not going to support her any more, then she's out on her ass if he chooses.

[ZRT2209]

26. American Taliban - cost her some big bucks for that fancy poster!

[ZRT2209]

27. only insecure men need a patriarchal system in place to control women

[BOG PERSON]

51. are you saying that patriarchy is perpetuated by beta males?

[Dawson Leery]

28. More Abrahomic voodoo.

[sinkingfeeling]

38. Hard to believe that guy's ever been within 10 foot of a woman.

[ismnotwasm]

39. So I looked up rules for husbands

Not that any of it Makes much sense in practical terms

1 Corinthians 7:1-40 ESV

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Matthew 5:32 ESV

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

1 Timothy 5:8 ESV

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

[ananda]

41. Indeed. Texas is in bad shape.

..

[Cleita]

42. Looks like wifey is trying to kill him with her home cooking, all that

fat and cholesterol and the inevitable heart attack that will come because of it. From the looks of his shirt, it doesn't look like she's spending a whole lot of time ironing.

[Le Taz Hot]

43. Dude, you're standing on a street corner.

I'm thinkin' this isn't workin' out for you quite the way your expected.

[haele]

44. Looks like Sharia law to me. Even if it is "New Testament".

All he's leaving out is the public trial and stoning for immodesty because you have dishonored yourself and the men in your family part of the more extreme examples of Sharia.

The Biblical laws of Leviticus and Numbers are pretty much the same as Sharia Law.

Haele

[noamnety]

46. The bible has details about ironing?! (n/t)

[Coyotl]

47. "If My Vagina Was a Gun."

Last edited Mon Jul 8, 2013, 07:57 PM - Edit history (1)

Austinite Katie Heim was one of many to testify before the committee. Unlike the other testifiers, she read a poem she wrote, called "If My Vagina Was a Gun." Read the full poem, below:



"If my vagina was a gun, you would stand for its rights,
You would ride on buses and fight all the fights.
If my vagina was a gun, you would treat it with care,
You wouldn't spill all its secrets because, well, why go there.
If my vaginas was a gun, you'd say what it holds is private
From cold dead hands we could pry, you surely would riot.
If my vagina was a gun, it's rights would all be protected,
no matter the body count or the children effected.
If my vagina was a gun, I could bypass security,
concealed carry laws would ensure I'd have impunity.
If my vagina was a gun, I wouldn't have to beg you,
I could hunt this great land and do all the things men do.
But my vagina is not a gun, it is a mightier thing,
With a voice that rings true making lawmakers ears ring.
Vaginas are not delicate, they are muscular and magic,
So stop messing with mine, with legislation that's tragic.
My vagina's here to demand from the source,
Listen to the voices of thousand or feel their full force."

[AsahinaKimi]

48. Betcha 50 cents he dun have a girl friend... any takers?

I thought not.

[Zorra]

49. That's exactly what made me a feminist heretic at 5 yrs old. nt

[MadrasT]

50. Well we all have our little dreams

How precious

[suffragette]

52. He forgot to add: And from Stepford

[tularetom]

53. Well, I'm not so sure this guy is serious about the "modestly dressed" part

He looks like he might be an expert at one handed typing.

[Apophis]

54. He's never been laid and he'll never get laid.

[Rex]

55. And to this DAY, he wonders why he is alone.

Probably blames Satan.

[Shankapotomus]

56. Really?

He really wants to go with that?

Yea good luck with that one, buddy.

[Heywood J]

57. Time to play "Christian or Gorean?" (NT)

[MrScorpio]

58. You can quit being a Gorean anytime

And at least those guys don't try to pass themselves off as a religion.
