Some comments on this topic from Fr. Chazal.

Yea interesting, though he says that "he does not tell women not to college". He's wrong.  He should. Two things making him say that: he's french and most of the French are so insufferably narcissistic and proud that their women all think they are st. Joan of Arc. They all let their women go to university. So he is working within that context (of being french and having family there). Second is that his parents met at university, as he says. So he can't come out so strongly. (He can if he really wants to but doesn't). Priests tend to be a little naive on these points. They are right to not emphasize fussy criteria but then seem not all that interested in making sure resistance faithful marry other resistance faithful. They also tend to not really see the human effects that college has on an otherwise pure girl.

But here's a deeper thought following from that. We seem to have so much trad ecunemism among the resistance faithful, that I would struggle to find many among us who can even describe what the resistance is suppose to be. It' s a crises of identity. When is the last time you heard a man or woman unmarried say they wanted to marry within the resistance? Never. Because most think they can just go out into the the broader trad landscape and meet someone. For a man that would work easier, because he can just lay down the the law within his house, but a woman is meant to follow her man. It just wouldnt work if she was staying at home while the husband went off to indult. or potentially invalid Thuc line nonsense.

So this indifferentism towards the combat seeps into our mindset when it comes to marriage, and from there onto preparation for marriage.

And if someone thinks "oh she might meet someone". I say "REALLY?" . In a secular modern day college? Give me a break. These men are not exactly of St. Joseph angelic purity. It would be the exact equivalent of a man saying he was going to bars to meet his virgin bride-to-be.
It's an "exception proves the rule" sort of thing, but there is a young men's rosary-making group at Texas A&M University. One of them brought some to Mass a few months ago to have them blessed.

I switched majors twice. I started out in music Ed/piano performance, switched to speech communication, then switched to park management and conservation. Ended up with a minor in the first 2 and a major in the second and was STILL utterly lost upon graduating.
Having had that really DUMB experience, I can confidently steer my girls in the opposite direction. Honestly the only thing I really wanted to accomplish from college was to get my MRS. And I didn’t even get that. :laugh1:


Haha classic. All over the place.  I appreciate your frankness. I love when women come out and say the most unpopular thing. 

College/Uni just does not work for women. Period. 

There's a reason the tradition exists of a father bringing his daughter up the aisle. It is because she is suppose to go from one protected environment to another. 
Worst case, if finance requires it, she can get work as a nanny or waitress, if she is allowed to keep her modesty. By hard work she will at least stay out of idleness.

Novus Ordo men. Still very impure. And nothing between the ears. Bless 'em. But scenarios like that would be the woman leading the man in terms of the faith. Who really wants the kind of marriage where everyone secretly looks at the couple and says "She is guiding him".

The other context problem is that women are meeting men away from the eye of her father.

There are plenty of ways women can meet men with their father around. It's up to fathers to make it happen.

by the way the reason I mentioned trad indifference is that it is because of that, trads dont care enough to network among other resistance. They are too isolated.
