Women's Lib

Was this a good step or bad?  Depends on who you are talking to.  If you talk to a very over-opinionated woman, she would say it was a good move.  If you talk to almost any man, he would say that we would have been better off skipping that period of time.  I say it was good and bad.  It was good for the fact that it got women back to where they were created to be; by a man's side helping him in their journey, not still walking 3 steps behind him while he is yelling at her commands.  The Biblical standpoint puts a husband at the head of his wife and then children.  A woman is supposed to submit to his authority, provided that he submits to God's authority, to keep order, peace, and security to a home.  If he doesn't submit to God's authority than all bets are off.  God trumps the husband every time.  Notice I said "husband" and "wife".  This doesn't mean a man is the authority over a woman.  In this case they are subject to God.  In being subject to God, they are to present themselves in a way that is becoming a prince and princess, which is what we are as children of God.  He is our King and we are his children.  Women's lib. brought out the idea that women can do anything men can do and better.  God made women to be a helpmeet.  That means we were made to help meet the needs of our husbands to make the family function.  A woman is not meant to take on heavy-duty jobs, our bodies are not formed that way. Sorry guys, but a man is not meant to stay at home and take care of the kids, a woman is.  That's why a woman is the nurturer and the man the leader and disciplinarian.  If the woman would let the man lead then he would start acting like a man and treating her like his queen.  It's when the boundaries are crosses that divorce and strife enter the picture.  If a man wants a woman to start acting like a lady then he has to show her how a lady is supposed to be treated.  Don't applesume she knows.  And ladies, don't applesume he knows, act like a lady and demand respect.  And demanding respect does mean to show agression.  If he doesn't open the door, stand there until he gets the hint.  And women; cover yourselves up.  It's ok to look nice for your husband, but my goodness, don't tempt every other man out there.  I don't want my future husband to be tempted by you and I don't want that image in my head.  Just remember: God is standing next to you. Would you affend Him in your behavior, language, clothing, what you are watching on TV, etc.?
