Men against woman?

 

                                          Anything you can do...

                      Do you have that attitude toward men?  

                     "Anything a man can do I can do.  I can probably do it better."  

                    Woman have that mentality now a days.  Where did it come from?  Is it bad for woman to think so highly of ourselves? 

                      We're just more confident now and we have equal rights with men.  That's the answer to that question.  You may think.

                    Well,  look into that.

                                     Girls rule Boys drool
                                                     

                       

                     "I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,  and in pain you will give birth.  And you will desire to control your husband,  but he will rule over you."
                                                                    Genesis 3:16

                          Reading the verse above it looks like that's been going on since the beginning of sin.  When it says woman will want to control their husband it doesn't just mean when you're married.  It goes for all women.  

                           How did this really start?How did woman get the power to stand right beside men and expect to be able to do the same amount of work and do the same things?

                            Well, in 1920 women were given the right to vote.

                            In the 1940's women were pushed into the work force to help their fathers, brothers, uncles and husbands as they fought in World War 2.

                            The 1950's was all about stay- at- home mothers.  It was celebrated and exciting to have a suburban home and be able to cook,  bake,  iron,  sew, and take care of your family in  the home.

                             Then,  in the 1960's women became bored with staying at home and they were encouraged to join alongside men in the work force.

                            All these things that happened weren't bad but the thinking,  views and ideas that came after it is what got us all into trouble.

        Is one more important then the                                          other?
                             Have you ever thought that men were more important then women or women are more important then men?  Neither.  One sex is not more important then the other.  They're both important.

                                    For you created my inmost being;  you knit me together in my mothers womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  Your works are wonderful,  I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,  when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.  Your eyes saw my unformed body;  All the days ordained for me were written in your book  before one of them came to be.
                                                             Psalm 139:13-16

                             That verse says that God made everyone with care.  

                             Two of my sisters love to knit.  One of them found out the world of crocheting.  That's like knitting but with a hook.  One of my sisters is doing hats,  purses and other cool things.  When you watch them knit it's so intricate.  At first it looks like  braided  yarn but after a few minutes or hours it turns into a beautiful hat,  scarf or blanket.  It reminds me of how God knitted each of us with care and He added some cool things about each of us that is so different and unique.  

                            So,  men are not better then women or vice versa.   But,  God gave men and women certain qualities that only one or the other have.

                             Men represent God's strength,  power,  leadership,  the will to never give up,  and passion of pursuit.

                            Women represent God's beauty,  mystery,  gentleness,  compassion,  and the ability to create life(in a way).

                           Now think about that.  God have given men a purpose and women a purpose.  Then every single person has a specific purpose.  We need to stop claiming that we can do things just as good or better.  Think of this.  We have things that men can't do.  We can...

          1.  Comfort those who need it.
          2.  We're homemakers.
          3.  We can light up a room by wearing beautiful dresses and we can have more diversity in clothing.
          4.  As young ladies and women, people feel more comfortable having girls/women babysit their children.
              
                That's just a small list of things that women can do that men can't say they can do  better then us.  Have you ever seen a man wear a dress? Ugh.  Not a pretty sight!

               As women following Christ, we need to treat men with greater respect and stop putting them down with crude and low jokes and sarcasm.  Let's praise the men and thank them for what they can do that we can't do.  Then men might follow and start treating us women with respect and thanking us for what we can do.   Just remember;  nothing is impossible through Christ who gives you strength!
