To be fair, she's must better than average in her civility, though that does come through as some sanctimony. Happily, a fair fraction of the commentators were nice rational Christian (Man, I wish I could use that phrase more often) women. The man commentators, who are in the minority, were also Christian, but not the nice rathional kind. What's up with that dichotomy? Oh, and the degree of partriach-ism in that last quote is terrifying to me. Not only should women not be obsequious to men socially, they shouldn't be sexually or spiritually (And "sexually" here also includes any idea of waiting in rapturous non-screwing).

Makes barbeque conversation interesting sometimes.
