Men's behavior versus the women's movement ... ?

Question

What do you think is the biggest change in men's behavior as a result of the women's movement???? Do you feel this is good or bad ?? Why do you feel this way ?

Answer 1

I see so many men and young men who don't have any respect for a lady. They barge in front of them, instead of holding a door. They use foul language in front of them without any embarrassment.

Where's the man who'll sweep off my car. Am I able to do it? Yes. But years ago, many men would not dream of letting a woman do that.

Do I think women can do EVERYTHING that men can do? NO. We are the weaker vessel, like it or not, and some things are simply too difficult for many women (I know there are always exceptions).

I think the women's movement was good in that it got women better pay (still not equal in many cases) and more respect and "power" than we had in the past, but like many things, what was intended for good, went to the extreme and has become bad in so many ways.

God made man to be the head of the house. He should be leading his family in serving God. Man should be the primary provider (in my opinion--call me old fashioned). The man should make sure the bills are paid, and the automobiles are kept up, and the house is maintained. Women are nurturers. We want to care for the man emotionally and do things for him and our children (I can hear many ladies screaming, now--ha ha).

We were made to be a help mate to man, not to be the leader in our house, or in spiritual matters.

Answer 2

Why do all those social engineers posing as authority figures (conservative, liberal or otherwise) continue to impose their "pet values" on the rest of us...and then expect us all to never question them, and/or to follow them like just so many sheep? Why can't people just be allowed to decide for THEMSELVES what makes them happy or unhappy? Just because ONE person (or 100 people) said to an interviewer they're unhappy, their "opinions" certainly don't speak for everyone else in the world. Happiness is not something that can be measured empiracally. Happiness is a very subjective thing. What makes one person happy does NOT make another person happy. Happiness does NOT come from anyone being forced into playing any sort of "role." Roles by their very nature are "unnatural" whether they are advocated by 'modern' feminists or have been coerced upon them by the conservative right wing fundamentalists of any religion. The reality is there were, are and always will be men and women, who will remain LAZY and they will never be emotional or psychologically mature enough to take personal responsibility for themselves and their own happiness or pursuit thereof....and they'll always seek to blame someone else (whether it's the parents, the schools, the ex, the kids, the church, the state, feminism, right wingers etc) for the problems they've more than likely brought upon themselves. and what's more? There will always be those women AND men, regardless of sociopolitical persuasion who will never be happy unless they're whining or complaining about or finding fault with something or someone else....even if by some "miracle" the world changes to their liking. Why? Because all that complaining is what really makes them happy and gives them something to live for. As my ex- father in law would say, some people would cry even if they were hung with a new rope! LOL

Answer 3

I think to be quite honest, the women's movement has gone too far. The point of it was to make men and women equal, but now feminists are intent on making women seem better than men. It is not right, and I absolutely don't agree with it! The biggest change, I think, is that now most men help out around the house. I think that's good, cooking and cleaning should not only be the wife's job. But the feminists have got to stop trying to build themselves up by putting men down, or the men will be resentful and the results will be BAD. I'm already resentful of it. It's insulting to me as a woman that there was a book made on how to 'train' your man as though he was a dog. Men and women are supposed to be compliments of each other, not bitter rivals! There's a quote I like, I wish I knew who said it. It goes:
'Woman was not made from man's feet to be below him, nor from his head to be above him. She was made from his side to be equal, close to his arm to be protected, and near to his heart to be loved.'
It would be nice if feminists would remember that!

Answer 4

I don't care one way or another. If you mean "feminists" as the women's movement, they better not infringe on me. I won't put up with it. If a woman can do work that a man can do, doesn't break down and cry because of feelings at work I don't have a problem with them.

Answer 5

The ONLY change it has caused in my behavior is that when I open a door for a lady now, I say "thank you" loudly enough for them to hear me in case they don't say it. I rarely take notice of what other men do regarding same.

Answer 6

Hopefully, it makes us think a bit more. Other men may use it in a reactionary response to justify not being a gentleman.

Answer 7

This one often gets me hated, but I speak anyhow for God.
First off, the mean men that treated women unfairly, are the reason the womens movement started, to begin to receive fair treatment for those especially in the workplace. So idea was good, but it hasnt worked. Because women got outside the home, and so many didnt want to be a good wife anymore or take care of their own kids and that has changed america. Now many women are so mean and tough, and out to get rid of men, hate them. THe femminists are not all like that, but many are, man haters. So all those years women took crap and men shoved it out, not all, but many. Then the women began to shove it back too, and now men and women for the most part dont respect or like each other. Men talk about the femmist women and how they wont be wifes anymore or moms and the femmists talk about the men that they hate and wont even make a hubby a cup of coffee anymmore.
God says we are to be doing for each other, submitting to Him first, and then to each other. It was never a one way street, thats MAN that pulled that. God was never about that. A man is to revere a woman and woman her man, and we are to treat each other with love and respect with God the head of all we think, say and do.
So in some ways the femminists did bring some progress to women, who realized they dont have to put up with abuse any longer and that htey have their own identiy, yet at the same time, its gone too far. Now few want to raise theri own kids, and are abusive to their husbands back.
None of this is good and its sure not of God. God gave us each roles to fullfill and if we all did that, it would make for a good life and a happy marriage , we are to lvoe and respect one another, and to be good to each other.
Do you see that often today in our world, let alone in marriage. Now each side has more resentment and wants to do othing for the other. We cant operate in happiness that way.
I went to a few christian womens convrerences even, and all I heard was husband bashing. husband says its the same at the mens conferences.
NOne of this is of God and God wont honor it.
I count it as joy to serve my God and my husband, but I also insist that he be the same with God and to me. If he cant be, I cant be in marriage with somoene like that, tho I could be a friend and lvoe and forgive him God shows me what we all deserve and we are to insist it be that way.
With each one loving and giving all they can to the other.
God is love, and about giving. Jesus came to serve, not be served. What happened that we have a nation of ppl where noone wants to do for one another, for fear of doing the MOST.
Until love , honor and respect comes back, with God at the forefront, it will continue to be this way and even worse.
But Jesus is coming soon, and we all will KNOW Him.
As women have got meaner, men got even meaner, and now the women even meaner. And to think this is what most children see daily.
All we can do is live truth ourselves, speak it and pray for others to see.
Lets give as much as we get folks, or how can we expect anything at all? This is all the lies of the devil that tell su you dont have to raise your kids, or love on your husband, or that you can smack on your wife cuz she didnt obey you, all of it is of the devil.
Will we begin to hear God in time or not??
Time will tell.

Answer 8

I think both should be ashamed, especially the men.Men have failed to take care of their home the way that God intended for them to.They usurped their authority and failed to practice love and kindness, nor did they set the example.Woman were forced to take charge as the spiritual leaders in the home.This should have never been excepted by them or society.
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband

My friend Don S is right and I agree with him.
