I received this as an answer to one of my other questions.

Hi Ash,

Yes this did come from a woman!

Answer 1

I don't want to repeat my answer to this question since I replied when your link didn't work properly.
But, I want to add this;

Women in general has it in their nature to think of their partner and children first. Most do it in one way or another. And I think that people has used that since days of old. It is easier to push BS like that on to someone that has a little part of it in them, than it is to push it on to someone that doesn't have any of it in their nature. It doesn't make it right but it might explain why they try.

Answer 2

Now, I admit I didn't read much of that thing - too much religious trite - but there's some truth in it, as 'Loss' perhaps unwittingly intimates in her answer above - that women have a stronger instinct to care for children and the home and are usually happier doing it than men.

The problem is that modern women are told that, and often believe that, they shouldn't have a predilection for such things. I feel that if someone is naturally drawn to such a role they shouldn't be made to feel it isn't actually good enough for them, and that instead they've got to be in a high-powered job and hooning around mountains in their spare time. If a woman doesn't regard something as a pain or even quite enjoys it, perhaps she could think twice before putting it onto someone she cares for, who less naturally takes to it and may find it more onerous?

Equality is a nonsense, what needs to be achieved is equitability, ie things shouldn't be "the same" but "fair".

Answer 3

I was convinced this must be a wind up until I saw the Christian counter at the bottom. That is really scary that anyone can defend that point of view straight faced.

If "women's libber" believe that women should have equal status to men, and this speaker *claims* to represent the will of the Chrstian God, then I'm just thankful that I believe in feminism and don't believe in that kind of God. Social justice cannot exist in the systematic subjection of one predestined group of people to another.

Answer 4

I think that this is a very good article and presents a well-balanced view of what God expects. Of course, we're not going to like it, because we're not spiritual. We're sinful beings, only out to please our own selfish desires.
Just think, if you were God, would you humble yourself to become one of your created beings, live among them, take constant abuse, even become the lowest of all servants and wash some mens' filthy feet, and then suffer the humiliation and indignity of dying a criminals death... for all those same people? I think not.

Answer 5

I am so tempted to send this moron a very insulting e-mail but that would just make me lower my higher self to this person's level. A true spiritual religion is the one that treats all men and women equal and anything else is a false and evil doctrine.

Answer 6

Don't agree with it myself, only got as far as the woman being made after man tripe before I got bored. Real reason women were made second, well everyone knows every great artist does a rough sketch before he creates his masterpiece.

Answer 7

Obviously some are......but I lost interest in the article after about 20 seconds anyway

Answer 8

More religious stuff....up to you if you listen to it. Me...I think it is wonk. Strange how religious doctrine seems to restrict rather than liberate..innit?

Have a good week-end.

Answer 9

as i interuperate this it means we are there to boost men self esteem. was it ever that low that God apparently had to make sme one to make them fel good. i do agree with it that we were not created to cook clean and look after children

Answer 10

obviously a bible-basher!!thats ridiculous. some women maybe are like that, but id say 98% are not.....
