i can’t believe that section was omitted because of “racy lines”. it’s too bad that some christians–men or women–can’t manage the maturity to talk about substantive things (even sex itself).

i don’t really understand how eating the same fast food and watching the same entertainment translates to the homogenization of gender and gender equality. gender? homogenization of culture maybe, but i don’t think it has much to do with men and women.

and we’re talking narrowly when we say society; this is true in westernized society (actually, the united states, in terms of gender equality, is far behind many other nations). the reason why i’m so anal about gender issues now is that so many women suffer from the fist of oppression, whether it be sexual slavery at the age of 7 or being beaten to death by their husband. and as a sidenote, the oppression of women came after the fall. (excluding girls=showing favoritism)

i certainly hope you were trying to be satiric in your last few sentences.

actually, i think it’s guys, rather than girls, that take those lines way out of context for a good adolescent-humorish laugh. Also, according to some sociology book, compared to previous eras women and men actually dress more distinctly right now then they have in the past (past as in looking at the last 30 years) although on a global scale, yes, thanks to globalization and ease of communication cultures are becoming more westernized

Hahaha~ thanks for reminding me about that… *j/k. In all seriousness, I was a little saddened that we could not be fully comfortable with that scene because it revealed an innoncence that has been lost with our generation. I think we made the right decision in leaving out that scene because it would have been a distraction, but from now on I will only embrace the idea of being in the arms of my God. Imagine what it would be to be held by the same arms that created the universe?

I’m not ready to wear pink shirts, though.
