Harder, Stronger, Better, Faster

This has to be one of my favorite images... I first saw it during our retreat in March where we studied the rosary and the mysteries of Christ. I love it because the male apostles are freaking out like "OMG FIRE!!!!" but the holy women appear to realize this is a sign from Heaven and are all in a state of veneration and awe. And then there's Mary, our Holy Mother, with a look on her face that I can only describe as "Thy will be done."

I think one of the biggest qualms I have with modern-day feminists is that they try too hard to be men... or rather what they perceive men to be: powerful, driven, favored, promiscuous-without-consequence, etc. They forget that men and women are naturally DIFFERENT. This is not to say that women deserve to be shafted in the workplace with less pay for doing the same job as a man. NO. >:| That is an epic failure of society... The words "different but equal" are NOT the equivalent of the words "separate but equal" used in the events preceding the Civil Rights Movement. The differences between men and women merely mean we have different roles to play in the bigger picture.

Anyway... this is slowly turning into a rant, but... I just wanted to share this during this month of Mary.
