Quote from: Telesphorus

There's little doubt that the sort of women who entered the university 100 years ago were less likely to be the marrying sort. They were more likely to have had "advanced" morals or be spinsters in training: in any event - the fact remains, the modern trend of women attending university depends on the widespread acceptance of contraception. Women delay marriage because sex has become separated from marriage. That is the the reality, and Catholics who stick their heads in the sand about this are collaborating with the corruption of their own daughters.

Are you ever concerned about the inordinate amount of time you spend obsessing about the sɛҳuąƖity of women? It's the flip side of the guy who spends all his time figuring out how he can score. Same coin.

The not so secret "secret" of feminism is that it's about unchaining women's desires and finding excuses and rationalizations for them.

The biggest rationalization of all is the idea that the current structure of society is about advancing the education of women - when really it's about breaking down the family.

The Alta Vendita conspirators of 19th Century mason said they would destroy Christianity by corrupting women, that they would corrupt women by means of the Church.

With Vatican II that has been accomplished.

If we want to combat "Christian" feminism we need to tear off its prim and proper mask and show what its values are all about.

You are resorting ad hominem - maybe you're right in part, but every Catholic man has a right to be seriously concerned about his prospects for family life and the prospects for family life for his relatives and sons.

Women today are being corrupted, and femitrads are cooperating with that process by defending feminist values like the social expectation that young women attend coeducational universities.

It's very important for Catholic parents to explicitly recognize that the universality of college coeducation depends on the universality of contraception.

That's why the thread I posted "Trad priests and birth control" is so important. Priests know what is going on. They either resist it, like Bishop Williamson does, explaining the dangers of college education for women, or they secretly condone that if a woman "is going to offend God anyway" that she should use birth control.

Catherine, I don't think you realize just how dangerous the atmosphere in a college is, and we're not even talking about the fact that women who intend to marry shouldn't go to college. Even women who intend to stay single can more than likely find a job without a degree.

Is there anyone who wishes to debate the points made by Bishop Williamson?

I was there many years ago. I know very well the dangers posed, but then again, the world in general is a danger. Did you know that 40% of trad kids leave the Faith (60% in the N.O.)? That was a recent estimate by a Society priest and college isn't necessarily the reason.

We are called to live in the world, not be of it. Anyone who is afraid to leave the house and engage has a bigger problem - a lack of inner spiritual strength. I'm not hiding under my bed cowering in fear.

No, you can't always and none of my trad priests have ever agreed with you. I've asked them.

Certain fields are more suited to women and require advanced learning. Any man who claims that men can do all the professions common to women over the centuries is a male version of a feminist.

Not every person is meant to go to college. The value of a degree has been cheapened by people who have no business being there other than an extended adolescence. Those individuals are best suited to vocational training. God gave everyone a skill to survive. It's up to us to figure it out and develop it in whatever way necessary.

Men and women think differently, learn differently, and should be educated separately from early on, IMO. The level of education depends on a person's GOD given abilities and inclinations, not anyone else's opinion.

As for marriage, a person can't know whether or when he or she will marry. In the meantime bills need to be paid.
