“But that is about it. Other than her, I have not read a single female author or heard a single female speaker or interacted with a single online contributor who toed the strict complimentarian line.”

I know a ton of them. Mainly from my involvement with mega church ministries. Some are speakers or leaders of comp doctrine for women’s ministries, and some are authors. But mainly, the typical woman in the pew buys into it hook, line and sinker. If she doesn’t, her life is miserable at the church. Everyone wants to fit in. And the fact that most people actually like a works type of role thinking it is spiritual. They can check off a list of being a good wife and mother and they think this role is part of their sanctification. They spend a lot of time waiting around on their husbands to be the spiritual leader of the home. It is a big topic of discussion. You even hear bragging and one upmanship on whose husbands lead devotionals in the family and how often. The comparisons go on all the time. It is so very sad.

I take this thinking a step further because this is NOT going to change unless women are compelled by truth to realize they are in sin for limiting their spiritual growth and not developing gifts from the Holy Spirit. And they aren’t. I was involved in lots of women ministries and they are so shallow it is pathetic. It might as well be a recipe swap or quilting bee (some are) because the study of the Word in context is lacking. About the deepest they go is Beth Moore.
