CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ok see, we are all clearly just plain mis-understanding one another here. I admit I made some generalization that I can see why you might find it offensive, but I am by no means a sexist.
As far as I can tell, I am the exact opposite of a sexist.
A sexist is someone who believes one gender to be almost strictly superior to the other. Well, usually it is used as meaning someone who discriminates against women. I do not do that, and definitely not knowingly.
Well that isn't me at all. Why would you think I held a sexist view? I'm anything but sexist. I used to spar with women all the time in martial arts class, and sometimes lost...for real.
I don't know what you ladies think I was saying or trying to say in this thread, but If anything, I am completely non-sexist. It seems everything I've said here has been completely and 100% mis-understood.
I'm not a sexist. I was actually trying to convey just the opposite point: there are lots of successful women and a guy shouldn't need to feel pressured to have to necessarily be in a relationship where he is the main provider and etc. Apparrantly, in this case, this is a very poor job on my part, but all we did yesterday was talk over each other's heads and get mad at one another.
In the past, I have even defended women pastors and other female church leaders, showing from the Bible why I believe it is perfectly fine for a woman to be a leader, or even the senior pastor, in a church.

Really? All I hear on this is WAHH WAHH WAHHH...said in my best Charlie Brown voice. Your statements were sexist.
Even those who are racists defend themselves as such. It does not negate the fact they are still racist. Perfect example in a great movie...Color Purple and the mayor's wife trying to drive back home.
As for your MISGUIDED statement and after speaking to several older men, a man's worth for MANY is found in how well they provide for their wife and children. If they are able for the wife to stay at home and DO THE JOB, WHICH IS USUALLY THANKLESS AND NOT PAID, of being a SAHM, then she is not slacking off she is fulfillig one of her duty. Obviously, you have no comprehension that being a mom is a JOB.

JesusIsTheOnlyWay, I think everyone is just going to keep saying you are sexist and I think you will keep saying you're not. How about everyone on the thread calms down, and maybe you could rephrase what you mean in a post, there's no need to have internet arguments 
just try to post in a way that won't upset people.

Yes, I do believe you are correct, sir!I think you've found the right girl then.
I have no idea. Seriously. It's confusing.

There's nothing wrong with any of that, but you cannot lump a general concept into a very speculative scenario without running into problems. People have the ability to chose how to live their lives; if some women wish to be stay at home housewives, that's a valid alternative to working full time, or even part time. That mode of gainful employment pays off in an entirely different way.

Deal-breakers for me are:
- Attitude.
- Arrogance (I absolutely hate it with a passion).
- "Chocolate girls" i.e. They think they are something special...If they were a sandwich they would eat themselves.
- Women who go clubbing.
- Women who drink more than just a glass of wine now and then.
- Women who smoke.
- Those who will not stand up for something i.e. They think that because we are Christians we can be "walked over" e.g. letting their children get away with poor behaviour.
- Women who constantly put themselves in compromising situations with other guys, even though they would not like it if the situation(s) were reversed (this completely does my head in)
- Feminists.
