Our modern age is frightened of fertility. We encourage young women to delay marriage until they are beyond peak fertility. We preach that all should wait: that romantic love trumps everything, including marriage, and the Biblical idea of short courtships and long marriages is seen as oppressive. Odd. Even Quiverfull.
However, the perversion in modern Christianity is not teaching women (or men) virginity until marriage, but the often unspoken belief that women should delay marriage. Sexual desire isn’t presented as bad or dirty in the Bible. The biblical solution to sexual desire is to marry and have sex, but the vast majority of modern Christians are horrified at the idea of young marriage, especially for women. As a result of trying to teach purity while being hostile to traditional marriage, we end up with the perverse replacement of the father for the groom (scroll down to see all of the photos), the groom he is keeping her from marrying.But make no mistake, the perversion isn’t in teaching virginity until marriage, but the accompanying hostility to women marrying in their late teens or early twenties.
It is simple math and biology. If you meet a woman, young man, and you go out with her you will have strong urges to mate. If you mate, you will have kids, because she’s at peak fertility, unless you choose to contracept or instead mutually masturbate in various manners, and even then there is a change you will have children. In addition, if you have sex, in any form, with her, you will bond to her unless you abrade this by sleeping with so many women you become unmarriageable yourself.
But be aware, that in middle age the quality of your offspring will be your biggest qualification.
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.Unless the LORD builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.(Psalm 127 ESV)
How is this organized? via the herd. By shaming women, not for being promiscuous, but for being mothers. Our society says you can have as much non-procreative sex as you want, minimizing the very real risks of this, but woe upon you if you breed.
Let’s get something out of the way- feminists can be happy, hot, blissfully coupled, etc. I don’t deny this. Denying it would serve no purpose as it is easily disproved. More to the point whether or not these types of feminists exist holds no sway over my opinion of feminism. I don’t think that way about feminists, you only assume that I do.So far you have accused me of being a brainwashed mindless idiot that only pops out kids and otherwise serves no purpose. All of this is based in your world view that is deeply influenced by feminism- something you are PROUD of. You don’t see anything wrong with that? Yes, it all looks great when you’re toeing the line. But women like me? Women that reject the feminist ideal? Well, we’re told to keep our mouths shut and that we can’t possibly be worth anything. In fact, that’s exactly what you’ve said to me here. Feminism is bigger than a dictionary definition. I bet you can understand this because I bet you feel the same way about racism. Feminism as it stands now does not support women like me. I’d explain how and why but all you have to do is reread your email to me. Feminists themselves do not speak for all women nor do they support equality for all women. “Keep your mouth shut” Ring any bells?
Teenage boys and girls will fall in love and go at it like rabbits. There are but two solution for this, and both have risks. One is to educate the sexes separately, and tolerate a certain amount of bullying and worse. (Particularly in the Girls’ school: boys civilize girls more than girls do boys). The second is to get young men into apprenticeships and employment at a fairly young age and marry them young.
Both are anathema to feminists, who want no marriage before thirty, and all to be corrupted, But then, Molech needs to be fed.
Again, this isn’t the biblical model. The biblical model says marry if you burn with passion, then do it like rabbits. The churchian model says to prove you really are in love by waiting to marry, most often several years, in a celibate romantic relationship. The modern (unbiblical) view is that romantic love is purer than sex, and is what makes sex and marriage moral. This overlooks the fact that like sex, romantic love is for marriage, and marriage is what makes sex and romantic love moral.
I am an old fart. When I see young women marrying their beau after a short period of time, I’m happy: when they manage to have kids, I’m happy. I like babies, particularly those who share my twisted set of genetic traits.
When I see a couple being engaged for two to five years I assume that they are going at it like rabbits, with the aid of certain medications. Patterns are patterns.
But I tell my own children that if you sleep with someone, you better be prepared to raise their kids. Because all medications can fail, and biology makes ideologues fools, from Mary Woolstencroft to Gerrmaine Greer.
