@realmikolson “off the cuff” = “scheduled time to sit in front of a microphone with my boys, hit record, edited video footage of my yapping, then published it to be monetized.”

Brian is trying to control the weather, not trust in the solid rock, our firm foundation. We can stand firm against the storms and trials of life because of who we’re grounded upon, not because someone tried to drop a tarp on the roof.

When I said in that now viral podcast clip that women shouldn't normatively have "unsupervised access to one another," I didn't mean that women should cancel their knitting groups.

Here's what I did (and didn't) mean:

First, the entire section was unscripted and off the cuff. Like most things I say that go viral, it's entirely unpredictable which parts will get clipped and turned into reels by libs with millions of followers. So was I being precise to the tenth decimal point? Definitely not.

So let me say: It is easy to see why it would sound ridiculous out of context to say that women can't have "unsupervised access to one another." Because as a standalone statement, it's not really what I meant.

Contextually, I was talking about the duty of a husband to protect and lead his wife. In an age of internet-driven social contagion, designer mental illnesses, and millions of women defending a woman who methodically strangled her own children (the context of the episode), this duty requires a man to know who has access to his wife.

He should be asking, "Who is influencing her? Which women are speaking into her life? What are they telling her? If she were to become more like the women she regularly beholds, would she become more godly or less?"

So when I say "unsupervised access to one another," I was talking about the frankly insane idea that it is normative for women to be unattached from male authority in general. Normatively speaking, God designed the world such that a woman is under the authority and protection of her father, then her husband.

It is only in abnormal situations—like a young woman with a foolish father or a woman who is widowed—for a woman to find herself outside of the protection and authority of a man. That is the sense in which I'm using the word "normative" above. Normative, referring to God's initial design for a thing.

So do I believe that a husband must lurk behind his wife whenever she's having lunch with a friend? Absolutely not. But should a husband know who his wife is friends with and what kind of women those friends are? Absolutely.

It's the same with social media, but the dangers are amplified a thousandfold. There are millions of voices online vying for the attention of my wife. They're all trying to shape her, disciple her, teach her, and persuade her to believe them.

As it is my duty to love, lead, and protect her as her head, this is highly relevant. I would fail in my duty if I was passive in my oversight of her. If I didn't pay attention, if I didn't ask questions. If I didn't take stock of who is being allowed to whisper in my wife's ear—even if that whispering comes through a social media algorithm.

I hope all of the above is properly basic enough that even a lot of my haters can agree. Now carry on with the memes! I am enjoying them immensely. 😂

It’s wild that anyone would seriously make the argument that women are the only ones who have a problem with the way they use internet.

Let’s be serious.

I just realized that most people under the age of 30 don’t remember 9/11. They don’t remember what the fear, the uncertainty, the grief, or the patriotism and unity Americans felt in the aftermath of the attacks.

It honestly shows, though.

If you actively support and defend Lindsay Clancy I’d like to know if you also know the names of her three murdered children.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

I seriously can’t tell if this is rage bate.

Men can’t opt out of fatherhood.

Has no one heard of paternity tests and court ordered child support?

[bella @dollyqwe1]

HOT TAKE: Honestly, if abortıon is illegal, then abandoning a pregnant partner should be illegal too.

If women can’t opt out of pregnancy, then men shouldn’t be able to opt out of fatherhood.

Reg dating apps, when a man says he’s “open to a short term relationship” that only means one thing, right?

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

I’ve seen a lot of men in dating apps saying they are looking for a woman who is “ambitious” and “driven.”

Do men and women define that the same way?

@BlueCowboyBoots @CactusHowl @FoxNews @Kerri_Kupec Because the baby didn’t agree to the contract.

A baby isn’t something to be owned.

I have always loved mashed potatoes. My mom only made them for Christmas and Thanksgiving. This made me believe they were very special and hard to make until I was in my late teens.

I make them relatively often, now.

I don’t know why my mom wouldn’t make mashed potatoes.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

@CactusHowl @FoxNews @Kerri_Kupec Yeah…slave owners also had a certificate of sale to prove ownership.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

@DrOBrienMD I think you are the one missing the point.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

@megbasham @farmingandJesus It looks like a way to monetize cleaning out your pantry.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

@MattWalshBlog I am in my late 30’s who isn’t married and has never had kids, but still hope for both. I also think this is baffling and ridiculous.

I don’t understand choosing to be an old mom.

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

All sin will be accounted for.

Either in hell for eternity, or paid for in the wrath poured out on Christ on the cross.

It’s an irony that the same people who mock God, for, “how can a good God let evil happen?” Also scoff at his exacting judgement against the evil doer.

Religion enables crimes and offers zero real justice.

For decades swaths of Americans have rejected Christianity & the historic significance of its influence on our founding. Christianity has been traded for secularism. However, secularism is vapid & convictionless, it has no way to take hold.

Do Islamist wish to fill the gap?

[staceykandel @staceykandel]

@appraisedhonest @MattWalshBlog His point is that many [of our lawmakers] are so disconnected from reality by their own lack of struggle. He’s not worshiping the grind, he’s pointing out ignorance that perpetuates and discounts its cause and reality.

@MattWalshBlog A few weeks ago, I made lunch for my brother’s family, my parents, & myself. I wasn’t trying to skimp, but I also didn’t make anything extravagant. I used produce from my garden. 10 people. It was around $70. Pretty sure I used 4lb of ground beef. There were leftovers, but still.
