He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him.

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[here is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63633]]></link><description><![CDATA[here is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard a greater storm in a boiling pot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57893]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard a greater storm in a boiling pot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He causes so much attention that it kind of frees me up with one-on-one blocks and it helps me out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38181]]></link><description><![CDATA[He causes so much attention that it kind of frees me up with one-on-one blocks and it helps me out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know my Republican friends were glad to see my wife feeding an elephant in India.
