sorry I do talk to text and things just don't always come out right but if you can read between the lines the main point is God is first and everything's going to be all right don't matter who brings home the bacon or who fries it up in the pan who does the dishes who washes the clothes who takes out the trash just as long as we focus on him first as a team we will never go wrong we may have tough times but in the end when it really matters we're going to be in that good place that's something I was thinking about today everybody worries about so much what they're going to do in this life and what's going to happen I want to die tomorrow I'm going to die today or I lost my mother I lost my father it doesn't matter all this is just a test and a learning face for us so as long as we seek him first it's only going to get better so today is the game to live is for Christ and to die is to gain

I don't know what else to say. I'm not saying we need equal anything, because really, we aren't equal in a whole lot. Haha I could never lift stuff guys can. I can't be unemotional when making certain decisions like most guys can, I am preeeetty sure if IQ tests were given, men would generally score higher. Hahaha again, I don't hate women. I am one. But, ugh... We are different than men. We are made to support and help the man be who God created him to be. We were created to BE that help. So if men follow God, women follow God AND their husbands, and the kids follow their parents...maaaan, this world would be better off. 🤷‍♀️

Yeeees! We are made differently. Why do women want to be the same?! We aren't built the same, and I actually appreciate the differences. :wink::joy:

Actually we are fairly similar as far as IQ goes. The differences are at the extremes. Women tend to be fairly constant and men are at the extremes. That's why we have more geniuses - because we have more idiots :wink:

Joan of Arc, just 19 years old when she lead the French to deafeat the English.

Lepa Radić, part of the Yugoslav resistance against the Nazis. They found her, put a rope around her neck and threatened to hang her unless she gave up her comrades. She refused, they murdered her, she was 17.

Rosa Parks, refused to move to the back of the bus, and therefore began the civil rights movement.

Emmeline Pankhurst, lead the uk suffragette movement to give women the right to vote.

Florence Nightingale, legendary and the hospital she started, St Thomas in London is still going and world famous.

I think women can lead.

Hmmm... I guess I am old fashioned. Maybe I was born in the wrong century. Seriously my ideal life would be to take care of my husband and let him lead. 🤷‍♀️:joy:



It's a shame to say, but....

That method only works if your husband /partner has you and the kids at the top of his priority list!

If he should put something else at the top of his priorities, like gambling, drugs, alcohol or cheating, then you know its not a good model for happiness for you or the kids...


I think it's fair to say that behind every great man, has been the support of and "EQUALLY" great woman...

I never said women can't do important things. God used women in the Bible too. I'm just saying, He also placed an order. It works the best, when the whole family abides by that order.

I think they can too. But some folks would rather enroll themselves in the theocratic beliefs of people like the taliban, and others of their ilk.

Talibanish theocratic beliefs such as:

Thou shalt not kill?
Thou shalt not steal?
Thou shalt not commit adultry?

Those barbarians.
Enjoy the ones that YOU pick and choose

Uh huh, burkas, hijabs, decency patrols beating young women to death, no schools for women, no music allowed, books banned, schools indoctrinating children into the "right" way to think. Where theocratic misogynistic old men rule and women are denied their rights as human beings. Is that the misogynist paradise world YOU are going to choose to live in?

I'm all for equal-ism with regards to the genders.. i have three daughters and would never encourage them to be religious with regards to them being inferior to men, from books made by men, to keep women on a leash.

I saw a picture recenlty with a Muslim family at a beach; the dad was in the water with their kids, while the mum was on the shore nearby all letter-boxed up. I think that's sad tbh.

I was the bread winner for the 19 years i spent with ex, i sure as heck wasn't the boss. Even today she still gets the kids roped into her bucket list shyte.

I'm an Atheist, and so are all three girls for now. They chose that themselves, and if they wanna read that fictional book, they can do it out of their own volition when they're adults.

However i am also not fond of feminists.. its a doomed movement (my ex is one) and you still see that today. That isnt emancipation when they look and act like idiots though.

I've been wondering what people nowadays think about relationships. Do you believe the man is the head of the house, the leader, and the wife submits to him as his helpmeet? Like, that's what the Bible says, but it seems like so many people find that as old fashioned. As for me, I think the Bible is as up to date as ever, and life would be better if we followed it. What do you all think?

yah it's a sign of a good relationship

I think it's up to the individuals. If you're happy taking a more passive role in a relationship, that's what you should do. No reason to take on a role that you don't want.

I've tried it both ways. When I was a young mother I was a stay-at-home-mom for eight years. I was MISERABLE. For me, I'm not at my best if I don't work, if I don't feel like I have my own identity besides "wife" and "mother". I need a fulfilling career to be happy. Looking back, I think I did my kids a huge disservice, in staying home. I was depressed, had low self-esteem, and I felt totally dependent on my husband. When a person is not at their best, they are not the best role model for their children. Now my kids respect me a lot more because I'm educated and have a career that I love. I'm just happier having more facets to my identity.

Since my marriage ended, I have never entertained the idea of dating someone who valued traditional gender roles. I'm not interested. I might bake the cookies and decorate the house (because I enjoy it and he doesn't) and he might look after the cars and the finances (because he enjoys it and I don't). But otherwise I want a relationship where my partner values my intelligence, feels like my career is as important as his, and treats me as an equal partner.
