To the woman he said "I will greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy,........your longing will be for your husband, and he will dominate you"....Genesis 3:16
If you have any respect for the bible, you shouldn't expect equality with men. The creator who originated marriage in his wisdom did not institute a democracy. He appointed the man as head of the family, with specific instructions as to how to carry out his assignment of headship. Granted, many husbands today have failed to live up to bible standards. However, it is no excuse to usurp the headship arrangement.

In marriages were the wives decides to usurp their husbands, does it really turn out well? Compared to the marriages of our mothers and grandmothers who followed the headship arrangement. The purpose. Of this paragraph is to prove that the idea of feminism and gender equality is outrightly against what the bible teaches, that is if you have any respect for the bible.

Anatomically, man and woman were not created equal. A careful look at the anatomy and physiologic make up of both clearly shows that one was made to naturally lead the other. For instance, compare the physique and stamina of a normal 20 year old male and a normal 20 year old female. As a mother, who would you rather have split firewood? As a female, can you take on a man of your age and beat him up? I guess not. By nature's design, the male gender is stronger, hence where strength (both mental and physical) is a factor to be considered, the man emerges as the leader. How many female presidents have emerged in history? How many female generals do you know? In the academic field, how many female professors are there, compared to the males? Or is there no level playing field there? Granted, there are exceptional cases of strong women. But like I said, "exceptional"

On the issue of sex, it is true that when a woman indulges she is called a slut, while the man is praised as a 'stud'. Once again, this is not a man's fault, it is nature's design. After all, if a key can open many locks it is called a master key, but if a lock can be opened by many keys, then it is unsafe and useless. A man can have sex 20 times, and still claim to be a virgin. There's no way of proving that he is lying, because there ll be no physiologic difference . On the other hand, if a female engages in such, it can be determined easily, or at least there ll be basis for reasonable suspicion. Nature has created a biological barrier, and tradition has attached some dignity to the continued presence of the barrier Once again, its not our fault, we didn't put the hymen there, neither did we make that hole elastic. One organ was sealed and concealed originally, (maybe till marriage.). While the oposite was left to dangle carelessly. Blame nature.

It is also wrong to say that society expects women to lay motionless and not enjoy intercourse. How many men on this forum really desire a frigid woman? For men these days, sex has become a game of satisfying a woman. Men feel inadequate when the woman does not reach climax.

There exist a certain hypocrisy about these women who claim equality with men. You go on a date and still expect the man to pay, you enter a car and expect him to hold the door open for you. you do not marry until he proposes, he pays your bride price, he pays the bills and feeds the family even if you earn a better salary, because nature demands it. But eventually, you expect to be his equal. Why not split the bills then?

Granted, I'm not a chauvinist , I believe women are humans too, weaker vessels to be loved, cherished and pampered. It is unthinkable to hit a lady or even raise your voice at her. Not many men are so reasonable anyway.

You have the right to disagree, but no insults please
