I grew up in a community with a similar view. Only I was told I was under the influence of Satan rather than that I was like a drunken adulterer.

It is impossible to go through life without being influenced by the lives of other people and by their attitudes. And this is certainly ‘teaching’ in its most profound form. Therefore all men have been ‘taught’ by women in some form or other.

For most people, it is our mother’s teaching by word, deed and example that will stick with us most tenaciously into adulthood. Christian mothers teach their sons to pray, to read the bible and right from wrong. These teachings are certainly with them in adulthood and therefore these Christian men have been taught by women, even if they think that they have not.

Christian men will be most certainly taught by their wives, even if all these male-headship principles are applied. The only way for a man to stay ‘pure’ from the teachings of women would be to be whisked off to an all-male environment at birth and live there for the rest of his life in a highly censored environment.
