Paula,

How many women’s spirits have been utterly destroyed, little by little, because we are presumed to have stronger egos? Why is this permissible against only women?

I never said anything about permitting harm against women.

I know you agree that women have taken this abuse, but that’s why it so puzzles me that you would say that a man’s ego is more delicate, and that women must therefore be more careful of hurting men than they are of hurting women.

I never said anything about being more careful about hurting a man than hurting a woman. In fact I think that as Christians we should be careful not to hurt anyone. I try my best to be gracious to all and although I am not perfect, I do try my best.

It appears that you are taking my words and going past what I have said. Perhaps it is time for me to step back and let others respond for awhile. I will check in later today.
