You warped trad men with your obsessions!

Do you really think you should be talking to girls that age?  They're too young to know what's best for them.

Why, they need to go to the university.  And receive an education.  And prepare for a career.  And they will serve as beacons of Christian modesty and decency there.  They will enliven the various social functions with their demure innocence.  They will learn to drink responsibly in a "real world" setting.  They will doubtless meet many nice young men, who may not be Catholic, but whom they can work on converting!  Undoubtedly, that will be  their highest priority when meeting a prospective mate at college!  

And you warped, obsessed fellows need to wait for them to undergo this great experience, that will give them so much more insight into who is a loser, and who isn't.   They will be so thankful to their parents for providing such an opportunity to them, and protecting them from those creepy trad men.  

When they're finished, done with their wide-ranging experiences, then you will know for sure they're choosing you for you!  Generally as a last resort!

If they still have the Faith intact, it's because they will have undergone a salutary trial.  And if they've had a child on the way, they've given you the opportunity to be like St. Joseph.

These are Marian girls - lights in the profane, secular world, that they must enter into as preparation for Catholic motherhood.

This is getting boring.

No, marriage and family are boring.

Trad men are boring.  

After four years of travel and parties.

When these girls are thoroughly tired of all that, and short on options.

Then boring might be OK.

In case you don't recognize the same old axe-grinding, (I really feel like I'm stating the obvious here), the OP is Telesphorus.

His regularly scheduled meltdowns are reminiscent of Gladius. Only instead of cussing, he just rants about Trad Fathers (both kinds -- i.e., dads and priests).

I don't see any mention of fathers or priests in this thread.

Just ideas about what's important.

It's obviously very important to a very large class of people that young not marry religious men when they're young, but instead receive instruction from pagan and liberal institutions that subvert morality.

So one has to ask why.  

Bishop Williamson doesn't think college is for young women,

but momofmany speaks of all the innocent young women she knows who have had time in college.  She was clearly defending the circuмstance of many young trad women going to college.

So there are clearly two different positions on this in the resistance.

What's boring is that this same topic is being rehashed again and again from an infinity of angles. I am annoyed because I wasted five minutes reading the original post.

Took you five minutes?

wow.

Let me guess, you're bored because you agree with those who think it's probably a necessity for young women to go to college and you don't like people continually beating the drum on the topic.

If you stop women from going to college, they will go to college on-line or somewhere else. You can't stop an intelligent person, try as you might, from going off and finding out about things.

Why is college bad? What is your answer to a young woman who is extremely bright and is interested in the sciences? Lock her up?

It has nothing to do with wanting to keep people from "finding out about things"

It has to do with the dominant social and cultural values in nearly all universities.

The fact that paganism is usually taught as well is another reason that it is morally unacceptable.

You show a distressing tendency towards liberalism maizar.

These people would rather a girl learn about the world from a bunch of pagans than from an intellectual trad husband.

That's clear.

The reality is that there is a split mind, and in that split mind is a very strong resentment and a feeling of contempt for sincere religiosity, that is perhaps subconscious, or only dimly understood, but deeply felt.
