The Johnny v Amber Situation
The Johnny v Amber Situation
Telling the truth has become a revolutionary act, so let us salute those who disclose the necessary facts.
By Author Douglas Galbi: After a battle in Ireland in 649, Créide, the daughter of the king of Aidne, lamented the killing of a man who had helped her father in the fight. She had fallen in love with this fallen warrior:And they the arrows that murder sleep,
at every hour of the cold night,
are love-lamenting, for time spent with
him from beside the land of Roigne.
…
Tormented is my kindly heart,
holy Christ, by his grievous death —
and they the arrows that murder sleep,
at every hour of the cold night.
By Chris "mad_cat" Votey: It’s fair to say that I don’t like anime. I’m not saying they’re bad, and there are some I’ve enjoyed, but for the most part, I have difficulty getting into them. Some of the things people seem to enjoy about them are elements that I tend to dislike. What I have seen of anime tends to be highly gynocentric, a focus on uplifting female characters to the nth degree that they are somehow super powerful or the key to some great legend, and the only characters deserving of character depth.
By Author Douglas Galbi: In 203, Saint Perpetua resolutely rejected her father’s abject pleas and triumphantly proceeded to Christian martyrdom. In the sixth-century kontakia of Romanos the Melodist, the blessed Mary overshadows Jesus. Moreover, men’s voices on the way to Jesus’s crucifixion are scarcely heard. Mary the Mother of God and Saint Perpetua aren’t exceptional Christian women in dominating men. Notker of Saint Gall’s ninth-century sequence, “For the festival of holy women,” shows the pattern of Christian gynocentrism. The central position of women in Christianity was ultimately expressed parodically about 1450 in “The Dispute Between God and His Mother.”
