  • 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.

Okay....please, let's stay on topic. If the men vs. women thing isn't relevant, why would an anime character be?

Maybe the conversation has run its course...I had hoped for more of an in-depth discussion about the phrase...

Sorry...after 16 pages, random tangents happen! ;)

I hope everyone is having a nice Thanksgiving. Certainly, the meaning of the word, applied to our attitudes and relationships, will improve them and also how we feel.

This topic is interesting. Because one of the historical and mythological female counterparts to the Knight in Shining Armor, is the Damsel in Distress. She has been part of the reason there have been Knights in Shining Armor, not all of the reason, but a part.

Idk. I think today's "knight in shining armor" is one that's conquered his own demons. He's slain his obsession with porn and objectifying women, his need to be the center of attention, his desire for all the gadgets and toys .... Yes!! A man like that would be a "knight in shining armor" to me.

Truth be told, I'm unlikely to face a physical death that my husband has the power to prevent (or sacrifice himself for), but the emotional/spiritual damage he piles onto me and our relationship with his undealt with inner demons ...

What good is a man who would "die" for you physically (& who will likely never have to "prove it") if he's maiming you emotionally?

Awesome post!

As the adage goes, "it is much easier to die for a person than it is to daily live for them."
