Bruce Ware, a professor of Christian theology at a seminary in Kentucky, spoke from the pulpit of Denton Bible Church recently. His sermon focused on his belief that men abuse their wives because women rebel against the man’s God-given authority and because women “desire to have their own way instead of submitting to their husband’s [...]

Wanted: Ok movie, but a little sexist
June 30, 2008
So we saw the movie “Wanted” (with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy) downtown on Friday and it was pretty entertaining, if you like chase scenes. I won’t describe it in detail or give spoilers, but something that bugged me about it (and is a common action movie theme) is that a huge portion of the [...]
Wise words from former boy band member?
June 20, 2008
Ok, so last night as I was watching America’s Best Dance Crew (I know, I know), something incredibly wise and poignant came out of judge JC Chasez’s mouth (yes, the guy from NSync). When Distorted X, a group comprised mostly of beautiful women, was named one of the bottom two teams as a result of [...]

Sex and the City Night
June 3, 2008
SATC Night was superfun! We ended up with a group of nine fabulous women and loved the movie. I know that a lot of mainstream feminists are saying that it’s anti-feminist for a lot of reasons but I just don’t buy it. Anything that brings women together like SATC cannot be wholly unfeminist. Anyway, it [...]
