Do you think that women are naturally created to be subservient to men but society messes them up?

Answer 1

Genesis 2:18 - The LORD God said: "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him."

Also phrased "helpmeet".

Woman was created because Adam was lonely. She was to be his companion.

Apparently, when you live in the Garden of Eden, you're not supposed to eat th Apple.

There aren't any clothes, or stoves, or houses or chores, so why would God have created a "Servant" for Adam.?

I think Society messes up the men. They are told grandiose stories of how they will rule their homes. But they aren't taught what it is to be a Man.

So we have wimpy, whiney men going...Why do I have to do a load of towels? Why do I have to change the diaper? Why do I have to cut up my own food?????

Families are alot of work. For one partner to bail on his shared and personal responsibilities based solely on his physiology makes the divorce rate go over 50% of all marriages. Not that men are responsible for the entire number, but just that this attitude in men certainly is a contributing factor.

I find it very common that women raising children alone simply could not bear all the responsibilites in a marriage alone And drag a grown man behind them. Their "helpmeet" position is assumed to be a ticket to the playground, golf course, strip club, bar.....(source: Experience, as a preschool teacher, a daycare provider, a Girl Scout leader, Sunday School teacher, where I had exposure to children and their parent(s).)

These women aren't helping, they're doing it all.

And that makes divorce happen.

We need to teach our sons that they share responsibility with their partners. That they uphold their word and live with Honor.

Not seeing that too much this last couple generations.

Answer 2

That is one way to look at things and to think of it. But I'm not sure if it's the right way because before females had equal freedom or much of any freedom at all, how would one know if it was because they were 'naturally' like that or if it was society? Because I feel it was society myself. But that being the case, yes. I do suppose society changed it. But no. I don't think it's because we were differently "naturally", as you say. I think people just thought that for their own reasons, and so they tried to make things out that way. But as you can see, that didn't work. And I'm very glad and grateful to be in this world rather then the ones my ancestors were in

Answer 3

I can bring home the bacon,
Fry it up in a pan,
And never, never let you forget you're a man.

Subservient? Never.

We do it all. We earn a paycheck, cook and clean and shop and maintain the finances. We make sure the car goes in the shop and the kids have shoes.

Last time I looked, that was the definition of the Master.

Answer 4

If you have every read the Bible it says no such thing. We are to submit to each other as we submit to Christ. The only thing it does say is that about that is that the husband is he head of house as Christ is head of the church. In any family someone has to make the final tough decisions and that duty falls to the husband. It does not say he makes it alone. My wife and I have a house and marriage that is based in God and we make all of our decisions together. Since we have broughtt God into our lives we havegrownn so much stronger as a couple and as individuals.

Answer 5

No sex should be subserviant to the other one. It should be an equal relationship. Society in itself is messed up. Society sustains people like you who live to belittle women.

Answer 6

I completely disagree with you. I believe God and nature created men and women to be equal. Yes, we are different. We each have our own strengths and weaknesses. Our equality is based on our ability to complement each other. Where women are weak, men are strong. Where men are weak, women are strong. None of our strengths and weaknesses are meant to put one over the other. By putting one down, you are just dragging down the other. You can compare it to the old adage: The chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Answer 7

Nope, it would be in some women's nature not to be submissive and other women's nature may be to be submissive. Every person is different, and I am sure it was exactly like that many many years ago.

Answer 8

nope because then it wouldn't explain the mass quantities of spineless men out there wandering around. Society just gave thema way to communicate with one another.

Answer 9

Society messes everyone up. Women are now supposed to be strong, smart, and aggressive. They are supposed to work outside the home, and show how well they can take care of themselves. Meanwhile, men are supposed to be gentle, kind, and sensitive. They are supposed to want to take care of the kids, cook, perhaps clean, as well as read their wife's mind.
Just my take on it.

Answer 10

No, I think men and women should work together and be equal. I don't believe in feminism and I don't believe in chauvinism. I think that husband and wife should be partners.
