I dropped the conversation because there's no reasoning with women who still think so lowly of the roles traditionally assigned to women. Women who think that only "male jobs matter" are clueless to true reality. They can't see that just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should". Plus, what is wrong with there being things each sex is better equipped to do? It's not a problem for each of us to be better at certain things... I feel like women who can only be satisfied if girls get to do all the things the boys do are only perpetuating the erroneous thinking that some jobs (MAN jobs) matter most. It's this idea that has so many females pushing to be in all the boy things. We can't have boy-only sports or groups because stupid women have jumped into the perceived "male stuff is better", leaving their girl only groups. This only adds more credence to that notion that what the men do and think must be better, so let's all run over there. I say, why not embrace and love what God designed women to excel with? I find it small minded to compete with men for roles that require physical strength and hard mental stamina. Women are gifted differently and beautifully. Why not find value in that? I sure do.
Divine Design book
This stems back to the Garden of Eden. The woman wants to rule OVER the man, not be equal. But nothing will change the REALITY. God made us DIFFERENT yet equal, and the husband is the one to rule over his wife. To lovingly lead her and give the guidance she needs.
Eve in Exile book
Women, who are wives like this one I talked to today, are so unhappy in their marriages compared to the ladies I know who think very differently, including myself.
Wear the pants, do the extremely stressful full time work... how satisfied are you at 50 years old with what you poured into your home and children? How's your health and marriage?
