When Ezra extended to me the invitation to post on weekends, his only request was that I focus upon politics rather than esoteric theology. With that as my introductory sentence, I'm sure that you realize I am going to refuse that request, at least for this post. I certainly don't plan on trying to turn "Tomorrow's Media Conspiracy Today" into "Theology For The Masses, Or At Least The 4 Of You Still Here."
I read yet another of those "feminism will destroy us all" columns recently, and wanted to address one aspect of it, specifically the use of the word "helpmeet" to describe women. If you decide to click the "read more" link, consider yourself duly warned that we're going to have a good old-fashioned word study after the fold.
