1 Cor. 6:9-10 ~ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
There's the Bible's take on it, for ya.

Even in a relationship, I'm not going to assume a dominant role over my girlfriend, and when we get married I would hate it if my wife was submissive. I'm going to be completely equal with her in every way.
Also *snicker* a small part of me doesn't mind marrying a rich breadwinner and being a stay-at-home dad.

Myoti wrote:I'm "emotional and touchy" as well and I believe I should be equal with my future wife. Yet at the same time, the husband is commanded by God to lead the family. What that basically means is that he is suppose to be an example and teach his family what is right. It doesn't mean he's suppose to make all the decisions himself.
Kura Ookami wrote:On the subject of being a stay at home dad, i think it is probably a tougher job than most jobs men do, yet men naturally think it's easy. Why do they think this? Because if women can do it it must be easy for us superior men to do the same. That is a pretty chauvanistic point of view. As i said before in this society men are thought of as superior to women.
I dont have any experience in raising children, but i have no illusions as to the difficulty of such a job. If you think it's an easy way out, you're wrong and i wonder if any mothers or fathers can back me up on this? From what ive heard though it is also a very rewarding job.

Kokoro Daisuke wrote:>_> Feminism in the way of "women's rights", deserving equal pay, the right to vote, etc. is in no way in opposition to any Biblical ideas. What is in opposition to Biblical ideals, I think, is to place one gender in a position that is ultimately and unquestionably superior to the other.
What I mean is that women have their roles and men have their roles - true, men may be better at some things and mandated by God to preform certain roles both in society and in the family, but at the same time women are seen as more nuturing, more sensitive, and more naturally inclined to care for children than men are. We are different, but we are equal in our worths before God.
