Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
Rates of anxiety, suicide and self-harm (not including hymen-vandalism) has greatly increased among girls and young women in the last decade.
While Fear Of The Lord is a good thing (Deuteronomy 6:24, Psalm 31:19, Psalm 67:4, Psalm 112:1, Psalm 115:13, Psalm 128:1-4, Proverbs 10:27, Proverbs 19:23, Proverbs 22:4, Proverbs 28:14, Psalm 33:18-19, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 85:9, Psalm 145:19, Nehemiah 1:11, Psalm 147:11, Proverbs 15:16, Ecclesiastes 8:12-13, Luke 1:50, Psalm 25:12, Ecclesiastes 7:18, Isaiah 33:6, Psalm 103:11, Psalm 60:4, Psalm 115:11, Proverbs 14:26-27, Malachi 3:16-17, Zephaniah 3:7, Malachi 4:2, Revelation 11:18, Psalm 34:9, Psalm 111:5) this anxiety is different. Some theories: 1. Mainstream theory: Social media plus a culture that teaches bad thinking habits, see The Coddling Of The American Mind. 4. My Thought: Feminist activists have gotten a lot better at their job, and/or communicating with girls via social media. Activists work by scaring the brains out of people (activists even used to call themselves "Agitators"). 5. Leftist: Rape culture and male backlash have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and you can't blame to left for failing to prepare for this completely predictable trend. (Interesting how Leftists always promise Utopia, and then once things fall apart they blame backlash/counter-revolutionaries/Kulak wreckers/CIA plots. Why not warn us ahead of time?)Well, that's all the theories I can think of right now, but I want a proper Biblical look at this phenomenon. Whatever happened, it had to happen very recently, very fast - this is why social media and post-9/11 safetyism stand out as likely culprits. Everything else happened slowly, unless there is some sort of "tipping point" or "critical mass" thing going on. But The Coddling Of The American Mind is not exactly heavy on Biblical references. I won't believe it until God says it. Time to consult the :lord-fancy:. |

God calls these problems "the bread of idleness":
Prov 31:27 She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat."Social Media" does not appear in the Bible, but "Gossip" does. Psalm 31:13 I have heard the gossip of many; terror is on every sideNothing new under the sun, folks. Feminists, like all social justice warriors, are rich. They are rich-supremacists: Psalms 119:23 Though nobles take their seat and gossip about me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.On outrage-inducing clickbait: Prov 26:20 Without wood, fire goes out; without a gossip, conflict dies down.God predicted Twitter: Isa 38:14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: |
Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
In my experience, a woman is depressed if she doesn't have a household to take care of. Women without a husband and children can never find fulfillment in their lives. Every moment of my day is filled with cooking and cleaning and mending and washing and all other such duties. There's no time for me to become anxious or depressed! :thumbsup:

Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
Does anyone know if portable internet access has increased the amount of people paying attention to news and current events? Current Events has gotten more entertaining, there are many comedy shows dedicated to it. When I was young only nerds knew anything beyond the President's name. Those nerds would have all been male.
I miss those days, and will instantly pledge my allegiance to the first politician who wears a hat reading "Make Politics Boring Again". Traditional media is also becoming feminized, it's targeting women now. In the past, it was agreed that ladies were not worry their pretty little heads with the corrupting and sordid world of politics and current events. The News was for men, which means it was like an action movie. Lots of explosions and violence and epic stories of raw power. As things got feminized "human interest" stories started showing up. "Human interest" meant "female interest", as if men are not human. Now The News is clucking henparty of gossip, high society scandal, emotionalism, social conformism enforcement, and etiquette policing/high society shibboleth fads. Female numerical illiteracy means nobody can prioritize any more - one bumtouch on campus outweighs the doubling of the crime-rate in entire European nations because "math is tough". Heck, next time you're tempted to watch CNN, how about you just put this video on loop: |
Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
I'm not a theologian, but it is obvious from the Bible women are the gender most likely to sin. We saw that in Eve.
That being the case, it seems to me women might just be depressed because they sin so much. The Godly women of Landover Baptist never mention being anxious or depressed. They do not engage in sin either. The answer might be right here at Landover Baptist. |
Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
I don't think feminism or a lack of a strong man has anything to do with it. First I don't think a women needs a man to feel fulfilled or safe. All they need is Jesus. All men and women need is Jesus. And I don't think there is anything wrong with feminism. Men and women are both equal. A woman can do anything a man can do. She can run a large company and have authority over the men and women who work for her. But now the world is taking it to the extreme and saying a woman can be a man or a man can be a woman or women are better than men, these ideas are wrong and called sin.

Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
Can a man have children without a woman. Clearly the answer is no. So I am confused about your point. And why does it matter that the beget word is used for men. I don’t see the point.
Did not Jesus appear to women first after His resurrection. If women are inferior to men, why would he appear to women first? |

I am still failing to see Biblical justification to your claims. The issue you raised has been answered comprehensively centuries ago, even a Catholic, the "Saint" Thomas knew the answer. The solution is, as expected, in the Bible. The woman was the cause of the Fall (Genesis 3:6). The woman caused her own downgrading as she started the sin of inquiry. Thus, it is fitting that women were the first to see Christ's glorious Resurrection. It's just simple logic. It's the reversal of the events in Genesis 3: the culprit received first the glorious sight of the risen Jesus Please look at the verse below and answer this simple question: Does this verse lie? It it does not, case is closed. If it does, can you trust any part of the Bible? :huh: Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

But consider that civilization has been 6,000 or so years of trying to figure out how to deal with the dark side of men. Want to deal with Toxic Masculinity? Men have been working on that for 6,000 years, and we have made so much progress that now almost every man is trusted to vote. But what about the dark side of women? Historical female irrelevance means nobody has really confronted this yet. You know how in every multi-stage problem-solving process, the first step is admitting that you have a problem? When society takes that one small step, it will be a giant leap for femalekind. |

Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
I think that once a young girl reads that Eve was the cause of the original sin she should be put on suicide watch until she is under the supervision of a husband. The sin label sticks to women like glue and suicide is one of the consequences.

My younger daughter Bertha (pictured above) has confided to her mother that she is depressed because no man has sexually harassed her. I allow my children to watch Fox News with me, and she has heard all about the liberal Jew Harvey Weinstein and the typical nigra buck Bill Cosby, and she's wondering "why not me too?" |

I don't know, maybe if you had a son who was... less than handsome and not so well built, he'd have more of an appreciation for... inner beauty. Bertha is a good Christian gal, meek and submissive. She is a darn good cook and loves to read her Bible. As far as Jesus is concerned, she'd make an excellent wife, but sinful vain secular qualities such as appearance lay prejudice against her. Now, take a look at my other daughter. http://data.okinny.heypo.net/image/l...8e157c6ee5.jpg Rebecca. She's 19 and beautiful by secular standards. But by Biblical standards she's ugly as a donkey's anus! She was our first child, and we weren't as good at finding the relevant Bible verses on childrearing (by the time we had our fifth and last, Kenny, we practically had them memorized). I tried everything over the years to knock some fear of God into her. I tried yelling at her, I tried beating her with a belt, I tried making her sleep in the attic, I tried locking her out in the yard overnight in the winter, but nothing worked. She never took to the Lord Jesus. "Put down that science book and pick up the Bible, nerd!" I'd say. But she wouldn't listen. I don't know how many times I had to take copies of Harry Potter out of her hands and consign them to the fire. All the little harlot wanted to do was listen to Avril Lavigne and Green Day CDs and do homework and play soccer and volunteer at the animal shelter. What a wanton little delinquent! And, when she turned 18 last year, instead of getting married and pregnant, she up and ran off to college! Said she wants to become a counsellor to help survivors of child abuse. Can you believe that nonsense? A woman with a job? I believe she's even abandoned Jesus and become a Democrat! I've tried rebuking her and to bring her back to God, but she's stopped taking my calls and has even blocked me on the Face Book. So the moral of the story is that a pretty face can hide an evil mind. All the boys salivated over her, and she will, unfortunately, burn in Hell for eternity. Bertha repels suitors like a roadkill skunk, but she is a Christian and will be welcomed by Our Lord with open arms. Quote:

I hate to tell you this, but they're even too lazy for incest. This article (from the Clinton Nonsense Network, so possibly fake news) says that fewer and fewer kids are even bothering to engage in fornication at all, let alone Godly post-marriage procreation. The unspoken implication is that they are now engaging in unprecedented levels of self-abuse. Just imagine it. Attractive young teenage and twentysomething men and women, lying in their rooms alone and removing their clothes, pleasuring themselves until they commit, in the case of males, the sin of Onan, or in the case of females, the sin of female orgasm. Then lying there, as naked as the day God made them, in a pool of sweat. Sickening! It makes one wretch! Quote:

Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
Every day, women face many different stressors in both their personal and professional lives. Feeling sad, lonely and scared are normal reactions, however, for individuals who are diagnosed with depression, these feelings tend to be more severe as they persist.

Phil 4:6-7 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Quote:
The unbeliever knows that she deserves to face the full fierceness of God's wrath. Rom 1:18-20, 26, 32 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [. . .] 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [. . .] 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. As a result, she lives in fear of the day she will meet her Maker. Heb 2:14-15 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. This causes a lot of psychic tension. The unbelieving woman's ability to deal with this tension will depend on how good she is at "suppressing the truth in unrighteousness". She may turn to prescription meds or promiscuous sex or lesbianism. If she is unable to dull the tension effectively, she will succumb to depression or some other mental illness. Madness is the malady of the unbeliever. Eccl 9:3b [Y]ea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. The Christian woman, however, is free from God's judgement and the anxiety associated with the anticipation of it. Her heart is filled with love, and perfect love casts out all fear from her heart. 1 Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. God has renewed her mind so that she can no longer suffer from depression or any other mental illness or unsoundness of mind. 2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. She cannot be overwhelmed with sadness, because God has given her unspeakable joy. 1 Pet 1:18 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: The reason more women are suffering from depression and anxiety nowadays is because more of them are damned. Christianity is on the decline in the US and across the West, along with the God-given institutions of marriage and family. If women want to be healed of their anxiety and depression they need to be born again. If God reverses the current trend and brings revival, we would see a fall in depression and anxiety rates, I'm certain of it. Women would walk away from their "careers" and return to their kitchens. They would submit to their husbands and make babies. All would be right with the world. I'd like to see more women working out their Salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12). |
Re: Girls and young women are anxious and depressed. Why?
I'm not stressed because the Bible says God is taking care of me. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31).
