A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Charles Spurgeon

I have been thinking for quite a while feminism and I parted ways. I heard about some men’s rights groups and thought really? I’ve known men haven’t been treated fairly in custody cases, been made to pay child support for children they didn’t father, pay alimony to women and end up living in basements themselves.

My son told me about The Red Pill Movie a Cassie Jaye documentary. A feminist woman sat down and talked with men in the men’s rights movement and came away realizing they have a point. This is so controversial the movie is not carried on Netflix and has divided University campuses. Are not Universities supposed to be bastions of free speech? Her movie was so controversial she lost her funding. Who do you think came to her rescue and funded the movie?  People who believe in free speech, not necessarily her subject matter.

Brene Brown author of Braving The Wilderness tells of being assumed to be pro-NRA because she grew up with guns, and knows how to use them. You can’t be pro-hunting rifle and not pro-NRA, who says?

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. Winston Churchill

It seems to me some people believe they are on such high moral ground we have no right to not believe what they do. Isn’t this dangerous? I got a message from MADD, how did they get my number? They are jumping on the cannabis bandwagon. Did I support them yes or no? I told him I used to support MADD when they were reasonable. It is not lowering the drinking limit that will prevent accidents, but they aren’t effective about the people who drink way, way, way too much and drive. Do they want to criminalize all of us?

People will not always agree with our views, and that needs to be okay in a free society. If everyone has to agree with our view how is that freedom? If we can’t look at problems from another view how will anything get better?

I don’t want your truths rammed down my throat, and I don’t want to ram mine down yours. I do want to hear them, I do want to think about them, and if they make more sense than what I’ve been thinking I want to implement them to the degree that makes sense to me.

It was heresy at one time to say the world was round. Is it much better what is considered heresy is different subjects? We need to be strong enough to discuss some really big, deep, hurtful subjects. Don’t we need to expect people to take personal responsibility for their lives and not have it considered hate speech?

Shouldn’t we be able to at least put forward family culture is part of the social problems of our time? Shouldn’t we be able to say Christian values shaped the Western World and not apologize for it? Shouldn’t we be able to be proud of the culture we come from without that being taken as hate against someone else?

Don’t we need more dialogue, not less? Don’t we need to look at more sides of issues, consider other people’s views?

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. John F. Kennedy
