I just read yet another article that - even though it wasn't even remotely related to the topic of differences in gender - just once again yelled to the world, "Women are exactly just the same as men."
Are you kidding me? Do we need to go over basic anatomy? Please, people. Women and men are completely different.
Okay, so society screams this, as well. Modern people make things so freaking confusing. You always hear, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." And haven't we all heard men complain about how they don't understand women. And, you know what...I bet that deep down in everyone's secret thoughts they would very eagerly admit that working with a bunch of women is absolute HELL. (I can say these things because...well, I am a woman. Though I would hope that I don't talk about co-workers behind their backs or get moody for no reason or stab people in the back when they least expect it...)
Point is...I am so sick of feminism that I could puke. We absolutely cannot do everything that a man can do. That is why female athletes compete on different criteria. And how many female constuction workers have you seen in your lifetime? And the last time that I was in the maternity ward...Well, let's just say that I didn't see any men going through labor.
The fact is...men and women are completely different. And to tell our daughters, "Honey, you are just as good as a man...maybe better. Don't box yourself in by acting like a woman..." Which, though most might not exactly admit that is what they are saying...Let me tell you...That IS what they are saying...There are so many girls that are confused as crap now. They don't know what it means to be feminine. They know that they are different than the guys...but they mistakenly think that the only difference is physical. So they flaunt their bodies in hopes of attracting the opposite sex. It's almost as if they are saying..."Hey, look at me. I am a girl. I know that you wouldn't be able to tell any other way...Because I am just as strong as you and just as career oriented as you and just as good a leader as you...But I really am a girl...See..."
And if they do decide to wear covering clothing...Well, then they try to talk to draw attention to their bodies. They get eating disorders just to get attention and they talk about things that should never be discussed in mixed company...
What are we doing to our kids, people? Women are not "better" than men...they are just different. Since when did the attributes and strengths that God bestowed on woman become a mark of shame? I like the fact that I am weaker than my husband. I like taking care of our family...yes, that means cooking and cleaning and looking after our baby. I like that I know where everything is in our house because I put it there with my own two little hands. I like watching my husband be successful in his career while I care for the home while he is away. It doesn't bother me that Hubby makes the money and...well, I make the beds and the dinner. I don't need my own checking account. And, you know what - just while we are at it...I like my curves. I like my big "baby hips." (I would not, however, enjoy possessing a double chin, thunder thighs or a bedunkadunk (sp?) butt. Don't you love that commercial?) I am a woman - for crying out loud. I love the way that I look when I am pregnant. I love the fact that my body is 100% built for the job that God created me for.
And just while we are at it...I don't think that men are smarter than women. I just think that our brains are built differently. Men have a more focused intellect. Women can multitask. And with a baby underfoot...you have to multitask.
And here's one that is going to anger alot of women...I don't believe in women leaders. A woman President is just a bad idea. Let's look at Adam and Eve. Adam was given a position of leadership. And Eve was created as his help-meet. I may be stoned for saying this, but I don't think that women possess the leadership abilities that men do. Women are built completely different emotionally. We are nurturing. Men are strong leaders. But...as the saying goes...behind every man is a good woman. Let's just leave that there.
And I believe that men are supposed to be head of the household. There is nothing that I find more aggravating than a bossy, pushy, overbearing woman with a hen-pecked husband. I am very happy to let Hubby be head of the household. It is his God-given job. And I will not let my selfish pride get in the way of that. Men are supposed to love their wives as much as Christ loved the church...and Christ gave His life for the church. That's a very strong, selfless love. And for those of you who are still not convinced..."The church follows the head of Christ. In the same way, wives should follow the lead of their husbands in everything." Ephesians 5:24.
In short...God created us differently...men and women that is. We are absolutely not the same...and you know what? I'm kind of happy about that. And...I am happy to be a girl.
