13 maltatoday, SUNDAY, 1 OCTOBER 2017 why don't you do things together?" However, the presenters insisted that both partners should consent to the changes suggested towards one another, insisting that once again, the show's comments were taken "out of context." Perhaps the more controversial aspect of the Overcomer's Chapel's message was a social media post on their Facebook page, listing men's basic needs as sexual fulfilment as the first priority, whereas women's first need was affection and financial support. Here Jetson countered that he was "being cornered." "No matter how a man is well-to- do, or a woman is well-to-do, there has to be that support at home, from a man. It is normal," Jetson said. "People like to pick on things that, maybe, are considered feminist, but that's not the question," the pastor continued. "We're just encouraging a family that… you've got to be, as a man in the house, not necessarily the head, you need to support your family." Jetson insisted that their teach- ings are "not for women's rights, or men's rights, but for humanity." After asking MaltaToday for the definition of feminism, the pastor said, "No. They are not feminist." "You should come to church to hear the pastor preach," Attard Abela enthused. "Just last week, we talked about how women should take pride in that we are women, that we should pursue our dreams." "I teach my daughters to become respectable adults, with or without husbands," Jetson said, "and I en- courage women to become depend- able and get an education." n women' issues missive technology op Scicluna's Independence day homily, which centred around the common good. The KA also referred to recent threats towards Air Malta employ- ees who, upon mulling a strike, were faced with the possibil- ity of Air Malta being shut down. "When businesses, as a reaction to regulate their operations, threaten to fire their employees instead of accepting their pleas, they show a lack of respect towards human dignity," it said. It said Malta's progress should not be gauged by how much it re- sembles other countries, it added, fearing that "any means to reach this end may become justifiable, even in the exploitation of human dignity… The value of a worker does not depend on how much he can produce." The commission also comment- ed on Gentlemen's clubs, saying that some are trying to use the government's legislation to cover up illegal acts. "In light of all that our country is doing to recognise women's dignity in every sector (particu- larly politics), it is ironic that the discussion around clubs is centred around women's clothing," it said. "It is ironic that there are some who are trying to legitimise these clubs based on their economic ac- tivity." The commission also referred to lobbyists who claim that the tour- ism sector would benefit from golf courses, an issue that harked back to a popular campaign of opposi- tion which the Church had also backed. "Malta's landscape does not permit certain projects that eat up large tracts of land," it argued, reiterating that political party sup- port means nothing if studies disa- gree with the project.
