In reply to the discussion: If you believe in original sin you're a misogynistic asshole. [View all]PATRICK
(12,239 posts)36. It's a little worse than that
Nothing counts until the male does it so HE is ultimately and solely responsible- and then gets to kick the spouse around anyway. This is social conditioning more than any God in the picture. So when the male supremacy itself gets devalued by failure the universal spiteful fallback is to point the finger down ticket at the insurgent sex. No it is not too morally inspiring. Paul's overarching take, minus the bad grammar, is that everyone has been doing since the beginning of whatever. Instead of fingerpointing, help would be appreciated instead.
