At what point must we face the war between the sexes honestly? In a work of fiction the writer(s), actors, and audience can portray and/or interpret whatever one wishes. To some extent the same can be said of the real world. Royalty, indeed any official, is often treated as divinely appointed, and submission to them is widely seen as having been decreed.
But in actuality, no one has the right to command, and no one has the obligation to obey the commands. Throughout history there have been rulers who abused those over whom they ruled and those who have been willing to sacrifice their freedom, health, and lives rather than obey. Other rulers and officials have ruled benevolently and who have been obeyed willingly.
The same can be said of married couples. Not all husband are abusers, nor do all wives feel put upon. Most marriages at least begin happily. Some even grow more happy. That cannot happen nor can it remain when one or both of them tries to lord it over the other. In Paul's words in Ephesians, submit yourselves to each other. That applies in marriages--and in politics.
The meaning of public service has been nearly lost. Hardly anyone is willing to submit themselves to anyone. Instead we are always looking for opportunities to take advantage.
St. Paul was one of the readings at Mass today. The reader used a version that leaves out all the awkward discussion of husbands and wives. I can't remember when I heard the longer version read aloud. That said, as a friend of mine once said, somebody has to drive the truck, meaning that somebody has to lead. And there's the rub, I suppose. Thank you for your note.
Modern 'pastors' and supposed teachers of Christianity are as ruled-over by women -- and as afraid of women -- as the secular public. They dare not speak plainly about the directions of Paul, because that would offend, and greatly infuriate, the female members of the congregation.
Thus, these men do not really love God, nor the Scripture. The LORD has no use for cowed and cuckolded men. They will hear 'I knew you not' from Christ the King when they arrive before Him, for they loved and served the Almighty Woman far more than Almighty God. So the covetousness of Eve and the cowardice of Adam race down the ages.
Yep. And cuckservative or cluckservative is the truthful descriptive word for what they are. God knows I have encountered enough of these men when I lived in the U.S. I felt ashamed and disgusted for them when I encountered them, and sadly I encountered them constantly, everywhere, including 'conservative' parts of the country. Make that cuntry.
Class and the sparkling intellect, wit and humor of 'Adam's Rib' and many of the old classics has long made the older genre favorite. The Classics are also a measure of the poverty of talent, skill, grace and class; not to mention wit and humor today. Movies today simply could never leave out 'f-Bombs' or worse.
The depth of language usage through both the body, facial experssions and words placed a sense of reality to the films once brought to the public and moderation was the average in presenting social issues.
THANK-YOU FOR THIS FINE ARTICLE DEFINING YOU A FINE 'CRITIC AND AUTHOR,' YOURSELF.
Many of my favorites were directed and / or written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, one of those people who knew that thoughtfulness can be entertaining. Now and then I rent a new movie. I rarely make it beyond the first 15 minutes. I appreciate your comment, for which thanks.
As increasing numbers of men have discovered bliss and contentment can only be had and experienced consistently away from women and their abusive emotional chaos. This is they are choosing to abandon dating, marriage, intimate relationships and society itself.
It's well known that Tracy was homosexual, and Hepburn a Lesbian...their 'relationship' was a smokescreen created by the industry and for it's benefit...this was the common approach then as many of the leading men were gay or bisexual and not a few women too...
Feminism is the civilization killer sine qua non. The corruption and destruction that follows in the wake of 'female empowerment' is incalculable and utterly predictable. Unsurprisingly, it was the foul Jacobins and their lies about Equality (egalite) which provided the fundament for Total Feminism in many of the western nations.
The truth is that nothing and nobody on Earth or in heaven are 'equal'. It is the fundamental lie from which all the other deceptions -- especially self-deceptions -- spring.
When trans-Atlantic travel became reasonably safe in the 19th Century, men returning to the Continent were struck deeply not by the remarkable geology and geography of America, nor by the hardy frontier spirit . . . but by how overwhelmingly the American husband was ruled over by his wife. . . and most adults in the mid-Nineteenth Century were married.
That was almost TWO centuries ago, prior to the endless 'waves' of totalitarian feminism. Now, women via feminism rule every U.S. institution, including the 'churches', and married American men FEAR their own wives, and the Statist power they wield.
The Almighty Empowered woman and the Girlbosses will be the death of America, and of the countries which have followed the U.S. down the ruinous path of feminism. It is a death-cult carried over from the ancient world. It is pure unadulterated evil.

And because women lack an ability to emotionally self regulate, it is very obvious who should lead.

Which is why calling those people cluckservatives is appropriate. At least until they grow a spine firm enough to hold to their own ideals.

If we were to face the war between the sexes honestly, we would very quickly discover that women treat men like dogs, and men simply never respond.

Meant every word and constantly curious about a society
paying to watch the junk now produced and directed...
And, acted-out TERRIBLY.

Never seen it. Now I want to. Thanks for this, Allen.
