Verily

Verily Something Different by Andrew Haines

Yay Verily! A Fresh Magazine with a Fresh Message

So where does Verily stand on issues other than alternative fashion? What is its attitude towards physical beauty, fitness, and health? The blog does not shed much light on what the contributors and editors think about feminism. The magazine is not "Catholic" though some of its editors are cradle(?) Catholics. Based on what I read in the Patheos article, so far it is an inadequate response to feminism. I'll have to listen to the podcasts.

I am reminded of LC/RC's Pure Fashion. (A post from 2009.) Then there is the use of mass media to "evangelize" the masses. Can contemporary mass marketing techniques be used to make virtue appealing to the "sisterhood"? How can the print magazine become financially viable without some sort of advertising? I cannot see how periodicals aiming for a large audience can accept advertising without compromising on their message and values. Would education by older women, coupled with good peer or social pressure in an existing community, be more effective? Some may end up rejecting traditional values, but they are free to go their own way. That would be better than staying and poisoning the minds and hearts of others.

Perhaps it is unavoidable that women will be concerned with their looks, since that is the means by which they are presentable to (and attract) men. But what of the competition for status among women, both with respect to appearance and the sort of man they can get? Is that such a laudable thing? An honest discussion of hypergamy?Will they advocate traditional roles needed for the rebuilding of family and community? A better word would be "feminine," if it is defined properly. What of an endorsement of slut-shaming in order to strike against female promiscuity? Or will the magazine be "nice" to keep customers?

Will women be encouraged to develop their own particular strengths, rather than competing with men and displacing them from the civic brotherhood? I continue to have doubts about the distinction between "private" and "public"; such a division may seem too "confining" to women. "Domestic" versus "communal" is much better, and women have their own part to play in the communal sphere, interacting with other families, but primarily with other women, children, and their elders. Men interact with other families as well, but primarily in their cooperation with other men in ordering the community and laboring for its perfection.

Chastened

Just listened to part of an interview of the author of Chastened: The Unexpected Story of My Year Without Sex, Hephzibah Anderson, by Rabbi Daniel Lapin on AM 560. Has Rabbi Lapin had Dawn Eden on his show? Chastened may reach a broader audience than Thrill of the Chaste, but I think the latter is "spiritual" without being preachy about religion. Still, Chastened may be of help to young women today by getting them to rethink how they conduct their love lives.

Asia Times:
'Surge' smoke follows Petraeus to Afpak
As General David Petraeus, the mainstream US media's new armored Messiah, takes command in Afghanistan, the myth of his "successful surge" in Iraq could not but linger. Anyone who buys the Pentagon's spin and believes the same conquest will happen in the Pashtun south and southeast of Afghanistan must have smoked Hindu Kush's finest. - Pepe Escobar

Counter-insurgency down for the count
The United States' Afghanistan strategy isn't working, which raises several key questions. Why does President Barack Obama fire a failing general but cling to his failing war policy? And if nothing much is working, why does it still go on non-stop? It's because Afghanistan has become an ill-oiled war machine generating ever-more incentives for almost everyone involved - except ordinary Afghans. - Ann Jones
