I think maybe it’s a mistake to assume that women who expect emotional care from a husband are also willing to immediately drop said husband if he falls short of these standards. Just like a wife shouldn’t leave her husband if he loses his job!
So all of you women who are saying that your husbands meet your emotional needs and this is what they are supposed to do, what do you say to women who tell you that their husbands aren’t meeting their emotional needs? Would you tell them they need to divorce their husband? Would you tell them they must use their emotions to control and manipulate their husbands or would you tell them to take those thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ, renew their minds with the truth, and stop placing that burden upon their husband and begin building up their marriages instead of tearing them down with false expectations?
I wonder why a lot of Biblical Womanhood twitter ladies don’t believe women should cover their hair during church….Paul says it’s a symbol of submission! Imo it’s a beautiful practice and a lovely symbol, with all this discourse it should be coming back into vogue soon
@godlywomanhood Lori what do you think about head coverings? Paul commands women to cover their hair during church services as it is a symbol of submission (1 Corinthians 11) :)
In fact, most of the men in these very traditional churches see social media as an evil to be avoided at all costs and they exert their opinions onto their women and daughters. No truest traditional man is letting his wife post about submission online
The patriarchy crowd is ridiculous and retarded- not because they are wrong, but because their insistence on such power structures makes them seem weak and ineffectual to others. There are lots of truly trad communities out there who don’t feel a need to publicly advertise.
It’s like sex, if you talk about it too much, it means you don’t have it very often. Same with patriarchy. So many happy and contented women are living within male dominated churches and communities and they never think to come onto twitter and parade it around.
Kinda bothers me that ever since she joined Daily Wire, Brett Cooper has been exclusively reacting to TikTok’s and Jubilee Dating videos instead of discussing real news :(
The story of Deborah is a condemnation of men who refuse to lead, not a celebration of female leadership. Deborah was Godly, and she was courageous, but the point of the story is that men should have been doing her (and Jael’s) job.
Women will always bring up Deborah when we teach that God ordained men to be the ones in authority in all spheres of life. Did you know it’s Barak listed in the Hall of Faith (Heb. 11) and not Deborah?
Why don’t they bring up Jezebel? “I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach…” (Rev. 2:20). She’s leading and preaching in a church. They conveniently seem to forget about her and also this verse:
“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Is. 3:12)
If you grow up in a traditional, loving family, you will have very traditional but loving and nuanced principles about sex, gender, marriage, and families. Many who hold unreasonable and illogical gender theology come from secular families and are reacting to culture.
