A Cult?
Or is there something to Rollo's "Sisterhood Über Alles," which arises from women's solipsism and their tendency to see themselves as victims and to make everything personal and thus to project unto other women? It is also true that women do look for leadership from others even when they pretend to be fempowered.
Feminism looks after women as a cult leader looks after their followers. Feminists want to have women dependent on them to make sense of the world, and bond into the membership https://t.co/FacRR0abOy

Passive-Aggressive Timing on the Part of Bergoglio?
The pope who says he is not an expert on theology and yet writes on the moral theology of the common good. "Looking to the common good is much more than the sum of what is good for individuals. It means having a regard for all citizens and seeking to respond effectively to the needs of the least fortunate." Let him elaborate the difference between the two forms of moral calculus. Even if Bergoglio is using the novel definition of the common good advanced by modern RC social teaching, that is a good which is not identical to the good of the political community but subordinate to it and must be measured against it. The balancing is not "responsibility" vs. "freedom" (strawman) but "responsibility" vs. other "responsibilities."

Just don't have double standards. "Too often, men are insulted, beaten, killed, enslaved..." Nope, we'll never get a message like that from our modern clerics, nor will we ever have an International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Men.
Too often, women are insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves.... If we want a better world, that will be a peaceful home and not a battlefield, we all need to do a lot more for the dignity of each woman.

Neither party is equipped to reach across the divides that separate Americans, and the political system is set up to make it nearly impossible for a third party to take root.

Would Dolly Parton consider herself a feminist? Maybe she would. Would she have as many fans as she does if she were vocal about it? Music is important for human life, but being successful in producing mass culture isn't such a great moral achievement.

An endorsement for the wrong thing should destroy the credibility of the one doing the endorsement. Everyone's got a hustle. But not only is Bear Grylls endorsing this, he is behind it. For what end? Is this just natural law virtue ethics, without its most important part? Or is it a not-so-bening form of secular humanism? Who is supporting this endeavor?
