Of course I initially thought it was a cinematic version of that book of dubious sincerity (women dressed up as soldiers, vampires, what else!) by that scallywag Terry Pratchett*, but no, it's much better, a rousing condemnation of those wicked feminist creatures, immodesty, abortion and all those nasty unladylike things. Well done Gunn Brothers! It's about time right thinking people made one of those documentaries to tell the proper side of the story unlike that unpleasant left-wing fellow, Michael Moore - I'll tell you what's the Awful Truth, that man's sense of propriety!
But back to the movie, it even has one of the lovely ladies from Ladies Against Feminism speaking very eloquently. Of course detractors might say that it's made by men beating their misogynist drum but I disagree. The brothers Gunn have drawn together the thoughts of many respectable and intelligent ladies and present a very unbiased point of view as extolled by the great religious man, John Knox. If only life were more like that of the 16th Century! True, the Taliban would also like to live in the 16th Century but I'm sure their 16th Century is completely different to mine - more sandy with less attention to hygiene for a start. And, quite frankly if Hilary Clinton was at home baking cookies her husband might not have strayed!
I did laugh to myself when I saw the name of the feedback section on the site - "hate male"- because most of the letter writers were dreadful men hating feminists! LOL! I felt like writing a sharp response to the nasty letters to the poor Gunn Brothers who are only trying to follow the Lord's word, but it is not my place to speak up in defence of men.
As they say in the FAQ:
"The Gunn Brothers believe women to be unique, essential, and valuable. They believe that women are to be revered and honored for their God given place in society and not diminished by ignoring the fundamental aspects of their gender."
So true! Women should know their place - in the kitchen, raising their children and serving and respecting their husband. Ladies, to our husbands we should be like the servant, gratefully serving their master - servants are essential, unique AND valuable - after all would you really expect a master to iron his own shirts or cook his own meal? And a good servant is so hard to replace! And as for unique, no one else except the other 50% of the human population can bear children. We certainly don't want to diminish women by forcing them to do jobs they aren't suited for like being a mathematician or soldier or President!
Well, I've become quite overwrought merely thinking about it. I do hope I haven't distressed anyone with my post - if so, then do what I do when I'm feeling a little at odds with the world, and have a flick through my favourite hat catalogue.best

* I've also learnt where the phrase 'monstrous regiment' came from in the first place and a day in which we learn something is never wasted.
