I realize I am way behind in reading this thread, but thank you for doing this. I appreciate that the "feel good" mass media articles are the most popular, but please also continue to include these kinds of academic articles.

When someone tries to end a debate by citing a peer reviewed academic paper, nothing counters that quite like another peer reviewed academic paper.

Insofar as my list of pro-poly academic papers is extremely short, links like this are very useful.

Thanks for calling attention to the anti-patriarchal system that is being promoted there in Uganda. I believe you both have given useful commentary for others who may look at this thread in the future. Sadly, so many places like Uganda are now being saddled with anti-Biblical disorder coming from our corner of the world. Family structure order as established in God's word is being attacked everywhere and unfortunately the disorder is continually encroaching in places where it has historically been in order for ages. This article demonstrates the "first world" system of supposed "empowerment" of women which ends up tearing down what was once good. It boils down to an "empowerment" to throw out God's order. As prophesied, evil men grow worse and worse. The ungodly do not want God and His order; they will receive the inevitable result that stance will surely bring.
