hehe @codinghorror, your post did seem to be missing a few Bible verses (not a criticism or sarcasm, just a wry observation) 
Each time I hear of one of these baby forgotten in car dramas it kills me inside. As far as I’m concerned, the only reason for staying alive after something like this happens is because you have other children, because the guilt must make life unbearable. Like the farmer who killed his toddler when reversing his tractor. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Concerning all this gender warfare stuff, I think it’s healthy to take a step back from the screen and remember that real reality is more real than virtual reality. Sure there are any number of real people behind those insensitive online morons. But we’re all better off if we endeavour to invest in real relationships with people who we actually know. How can you militate for localism for your vegetables and yet continue to give more weight to your online ‘friendships’?!
And when I take that step back and look around me, do I really see men and women lined up opposite each other for battle? Not really. I see people who are all broken and dysfunctional to varying degrees. Each carrying their baggage and hangups. Each one hiding - with more or less success - that they still sometimes feel like lost, lonely children inside. I see couples limping along valiantly, often making the best of a bad job. Parents trying their darnedest to live selflessly and often not succeeding. I see mostly kind, but mostly selfish people, some of whom rise to the occasions that life presents for mundane heroism, some of the time; some who don’t. And I see myself and my own penchant for telling myself that I am above the fray, when I know that I’m not.
As Jeff doesn’t (quite) say: there, but for the grace of God go I.
Could do with a few Bible verses of my own
