It seems it's hit the bigtime now:<BR/><BR/>http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2006-10-04-covering_x.htm<BR/><BR/> Check out these links:<BR/><BR/>http://www.patriarchspath.org/<BR/>http://www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com/<BR/><BR/>Here's a commentary on modest women who would take away our right to vote:<BR/><BR/>http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2006/07/down_on_a_muffi.html<BR/><BR/>and finally, where it's all coming from:<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology<BR/><BR/>------------------------CJCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142238549004452002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-1160016995241343582006-10-04T21:56:00.000-05:002006-10-04T21:56:00.000-05:00Thanks for linking this post to my post.

That kind of modesty I can get on board with, though I agree with Veronica Mitchell (at Toddled Dredge) who wrote a very thoughtful explanation of why she prefers the term "dignity" to "modesty."Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.com
