1. :lol: yes, women like O'Donnell who wanted to be a Senator and Palin (who wants to be President) believe that women shouldn't leave the home :lamo that's why they don't run for office.
2. the reason you make that error is that you make the same mistake the feminists do. letting a husband lead the family =/= being subordinate/lesser. yes, women are supposed to submit their desires, dreams, etc to their husbands... and husbands are supposed to submit their desires, dreams, etc to their wives. it's a two-part bargain.
Oh, so women are also the head of the family? It's funny. The Southern Baptists failed to mention that men needed to submit.
Women submit, men love. Different roles, right? one is subordinate. The other isn't.i would rather suspect you do. which is why i'm surprised at your cherry picking. let us expand Ephesians 5, of which you cited one verse:
bit more two sided, eh? heck, if anything the onus laid on men is more difficult to fulfill than that laid on women.
Stop pretending that there aren't 2000 years of religious history forcing the issue of female submission and subordination.
I don't want submission in my relationship. I want partnership.
gosh gee willickers, that sounds almost like the serving-of-each-other-thing
Really. Where are men told that women are the head?
nope, i'm trying to point out that the feminist movement distorts that doctrine and then spends its' time attacking a strawman.
If there is distortion, it originated with the church itself and its treatment of women.
ummm, where have I ever claimed that they haven't? heck, the New Testament is replete with cases of women who are wealthy, women who run businesses, women who host worship services in their homes...
Then what is the crap about women needing to be stay at home? Have I misunderstood your point?
um. yeah; that's sort of the point. it isn't until work was transported away from the home itself that we see a significant division of labor vis-a-vie the raising of children become woven into gender roles.
I don't believe raising children should be woven into gender roles.
seriously. you know better than that.
I do?
