Then I wouldn't have seen what's on the television now: Implicitly creationist woman (Lisa Bevere) attacking strawman feminist positions (that women need to become men to succeed) to promote her book (Fight Like A Girl).
One argument: Men acting like women is obviously wrong as an illustrration of the less obvious truth it is wrong for women to act manly (which apparently means being in charge). Also seems to be arguing that men are incapable of deep emotional connections (by implication, from claim this is the woman's role).
The show this appeared on is run by a guy named James Robison, someone I've never heard of before but the first thing I saw on looking him up was an essay on the moral superiority of GWB in the Iraq.
Well I'm tired now and now maybe being overly harsh. When I am more awake I will try to poke around and see if I'm reaching.
Scratch that. They just showed a promotional bit for her appearance tomorrow which consisted of her saying "You can't get a sex change because your DNA is the core of your being." So I think I was right, the message of this book is disguised religious bigotry and christian 'women should be submissive to men' (Another quote I didn't write down earlier, Lisa Bevere saying her husband asks for her advice on matters but if he sees she is speaking from fear he will tell her so and disregard). Still mean to check up on this but I think it is less likely I am mistaken.
Update: I haven't found anything to make me change my mind, haven't found anything to confirm it beyond what I saw either.
