Something is really nagging at me. I am wondering about it. I hope this scares no one off, because I am doing some "thinking out loud", I guess, and I would like some response, whether agreeable or not. Scripture would be wonderful.
What I am thinking about is the scripture in Genesis 3, I think, where it says that the women would desire the men's family position as head of the family...would desire to lead and push men back. (Oh, it scares me to say this!) We, as a generation of women, have done this almost as a nation (I live in the U.S.). We push. We belittle in humor. We, in many senses, emasculate men. Our TV comedies make men look like fools. Our common TV commercials make them look like idiots. There are those who cry for a "woman in the Whitehouse" not because of her political agenda so much as because she is a woman. And I wonder if we are now suffering the consequences of our doing exactly what Genesis says, forcing our way in, demanding that place, perhaps even telling our Creator and His word to "GET LOST".
Look at the churches. The big cry is that the churches are feminized. (I don't understand that...really...but that is what they say.) And if I look around, what I see is mainly women in the congregations...in the choirs...as teachers.
Men are talking about their problems with porn as though it is "normal" for Christian men. Should it be for Christians...really? They talk about looking at other women in a way they should not as though that, too, is normal for Christians. Should it be...really?
Have we actually done this to the men because we have pushed our way into an area in the family where we don't belong, and now, we are suffering the consequences? And part of the consequences is that we HAVE to take leadership because the men are so emasculated that they don't realize that they have the inner strength NOT TO BE? We, as women, have so weakened them?

Regardless, bluestone, I believe I have sinned, and I am repenting. I want to do what is right. I want things as they should be, no matter how it chaffes me.
