i am in a sexual state of zen!!!!?

Question

women are very important in our society and i think that god should forgive eve!!! does anyone else see this happen, the women are suppressed such that men are supreme? is this a function of what i thought was a merciful god? i have grown up with the thought that men are better than women, however it is just not really talked about. i try to treat women as equals, but society really does prevent this, is this the influences of "church?"i i see this and i am a man .

Answer 1

Chivalry is dead. I WANT to be treated like a princess

Answer 2

You're talking about several different things here: the idea of one gender being superior to another, the influence of religion/church on society, society in general, and one person's interpretation of God/a supreme being. I'll try to answer all points. IMO (the only way I'm truly qualified to answer) men are not superior to women, women are not superior to men. The two genders are just different. Put them both in one situation, and one may display strengths the other may not possess. Put them in another situation, and the opposite could be true. In a perfect world, men and women have the potential to balance each other. Problem is, we don't live in a perfect world. It takes all kinds of people to make up a society and unfortunately, our society today values power and influence more than peace and balance. Same goes for the church. Just look at President Bush. He's made a career of using his political office to help along his religious agenda (remember, this is my opinion only)--or vice versa. I could be doing the same thing but the power and influence of the President of the United States carries way more clout than I ever could. "We the people" elected him, making him apparently what society wanted. Or at least preferred to the alternative.

I'm not a fan of politics or of religion, so the idea of religious politics is just plain revolting to me so I'm not sure I can answer the part about the church influencing the idea of male superiority. Back in the days when the Bible was supposedly pieced together, apparently society was much more male-centric than it is now. Religions and churches that take a very strict and literal interpretation of the Bible fail to account for the changes in society over time.

And that's not even including religious philosophies other than Protestant Christianity, which is what I was raised with. You might get different answers from a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Jew, a Catholic...

For the record, I am a woman and I see injustice in all aspects of life, not just in the male-dominated business world I work in. If I am suppressed, I feel it is as a result of society's influence rather than males alone, or the church alone.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

That's not always true. Do you think any man thinks he is better than his mother, or do they put her on a pedestal from the time they are babes? What about a wife or mother of his children?

Men feel that they are more qualified for certain positions in society. This stems from the fact that up to the last few decades, men were the primary bread winners and women stayed home and took care of the house.

These old fashioned ideals are changing however and we are beginning to see more and more women become successful in their careers outside of the home, prime example would be Hilary Clinton or Condoleza Rice.

Change takes time but women are beginning to advance and take charge.

Answer 4

I don't want to be treated as an equal. I think chivalry is dead because feminists killed it, and I am not a feminist. I love it when men open doors for me, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I love cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and dishes, foot rubs and blow jobs. I love doing all of the for my boyfriend, and I don't think that women will ever be equal to men, and I don't ever want that to happen.

Answer 5

in a way i agree with pirate wench, and then again i don't...
i like staying home and doing the cooking and cleaning, etc....
but i don't think we're any lesser. if anything we're better...
what man can handle two kids day in and day out, seven days a week? all that AND clean up after these kids, after a spouse who has no time to (in most men's cases, don't care to) clean up after themselves. plus have the laundry, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping done. cooking at least one good meal a day (you can do something quick for breakfast and lunch). what man could do this for a lifetime and not go absolutely "toys in the attic" crazy? name me a few that are straight married men with children...

silence?

thought so;
we're better

as an added plus to all that, if you could name a few men, lets see if they could do labor, birthing and nursing. Hahaha, post partum depression lol - nuff said

Answer 6

man as supreme to women is not just an influence of the church but was practiced since the existence of religion. women were considered weak so men dominated the land. but this practice was more popularized when the church existed. god was pictured as man, allah as man, jehovah as man, jesus as man, mohammed as man. in short, men are above women. and through the brought ups of the children, they see and considered that men are more dominant than women. its true that men are stronger than women, but this doesn't men that we treat them less. instead, i do believe that we should be equal.

Answer 7

Women are equal, just different. And the lady who didn't want to be equal, good for you lady, but you're lowering what you can be. And God did forgive Eve, who said he didn't?
