“Now the interesting thing is that it is only married women who need an authority over them to lead them and make their decisions and pull out the male trump card. Apparently single women are capable of operating in faith quite well, serving the Lord with all their hearts and making wise decisions. I wonder why that is?”
My sister, who is in her 40s and single, says this is a moot point, because in complementarian churches she is invisible. She simply doesn’t exist– or at least, no one seriously believes in her existence. Every message, every program, is directed towards families. A woman’s only true worth is in being a wife and mother, after all. That is her “role,” and the only acceptable one for her.
Do other single women here find this to be true?
