"Our Mrs. Reynolds"

In my entire life I have not seen a work of fiction that better summarizes the

ideal of what a man wants in a woman than the character of Saffron played

by Christina Hendricks in the Firefly episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Saffron

was just an act but the con worked because she represented the ideal few

men ever come close to realizing.

I actually know a local woman who is very much like the innocent Saffron

character - married to her high school sweetheart and just had her third

kid. One of my female cousins also resembles the ideal. Such women

are extremely rare in our culture. The only time I see the near ideal in

public is when I see a gaggle of young Mennonite women with their children

or Mennonite families out with their children at restaurants or Wal-Mart.

They are genuinely happy - very much unlike the general populace.

There is a lot to be said about how the Marxist views of man/woman

relationships have become indoctrinated into our culture. Feminizing

men - creating masculine agressive women. Somehow along the way Marxist

indoctrination has created women who really don't care to be good mothers

or good wives. There is a lot of cynicism and poorly raised children as

a result.

I welcome thoughts on this issue. I have no interest in masculine agressive

women or those expecting government handouts to fix their lives the first

time they have an argument with a man. Substance abuse by women trapped

in this mindset is rampant - another serious issue leading to poor relationships.

I would be as uncomfortable and conflicted about Saffron as Mal, and acted as he would have until her betrayal. I don't see her as an ideal in any way. She's sexually submissive - that's it (which I'm not holding as virtuous). Otherwise she's naive, dependent, and emotional. If she didn't object, I would've traded her for Vera.

...she's naive, dependent...

I know lots of women who are naive and believe they are independent - because they

don't need a man - just government assistance.

Sugar daddy [big government] is the middle man extacting wealth from men to buy

votes from women.
