Era Might Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) The boxing example is an interesting one. Mohammed Ali began his boxing career as a young man with a big mouth, very flashy. He later famously converted to the Nation of Islam, and took a stand against the Vietnam war, and later converted to more orthodox Islam, and became a man who is known for having a big heart. He evolved during his life, went from an athlete to a socially conscious public figure to a hero. But in his earliest days as a boxer, he certainly wasn't the man he would become...being able to beat a man in the ring doesn't make you a man. I'd say something like boxing only works to the extent that you are able to learn from it. Sports in general are the viewing spectacle of perpetual children...men who keep their eyes glued to the latest sports news. I don't think watching sports makes you "manly"...it can just as easily be a sign of unmanliness. There's a funny scene in "Brideshead Revisited" when this friar stops by the Marchmain house and is talking with Sebastian and Charles, and he keeps talking about cricket, even though the two young men are obviously uninterested, and Charles says that the friar "looked at me with the expression I have seen since in the religious, of innocent wonder that those who expose themselves to the dangers of the world should avail themselves so little of its varied solace." There can be something manly (and even religious) in things like boxing / sports (not speaking of the professional variety but the technical), but there's a reason why these things are very much the things of young men...not just because young men are physically superior, but because young men don't have the manly discipline and excellence that comes with age, and sports is an arena where they can learn it.

PhuturePriest Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 It appears there needs to be more clarification. First, again, it is okay for a woman to have a job. But men are he leaders. This is built into the Church! I thank the women that had a job and saved their families while the husband was unemployed, and having a job is okay. But women are trying to be the leaders of the household, and that's not the way things work. I'm not saying women don't have a say. I believe the mother on My Big Fat Greek Wedding said it best: "The man is the head of the household, but the woman is the neck! She can turn it any way she wants to!" Finally, I worded my first post wrong. I didn't mean for it to seem like I am invincible. I was just trying to say that I don't stand back and let the government do anything it wants. If it takes my rights away, it better not expect me to just sit around and do nothing. That's not who I am and it's never been who I am. I realize I worded it wrong, and I apologize. You have to remember that I'm on my iPod, so it takes three times longer to type and by the end I don't want to edit my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 All I'm asking for is mutual respect. I realize there's little of that in today's world, but being a Catholic puts you in a higher standard. I respect all of you, and I will treat you with respect. But if all I see is disrespect towards me I'm going to have a low opinion of this site and the people on it, and I'll see no reason to stay. Let's all be adults and treat each other with respect.
