Lin:

I have always enjoyed your posts, and I hope you don’t mind if I point out an opposite reaction to your thoughts that comp folks might take the idea of men and women being inherently different as being a strengthener for their particular viewpoint. I wanted to share what I see: inherent differences are actually going to weaken their argument, because everyone benefits when there is more than one viewpoint on any idea. Who hasn’t experienced hearing the same ol’, same ol’ on a certain topic–then someone comes at it from a completely fresh perspective and we sit back and go “Wow…now that was helpful!” It happens to me on a regular basis. It’s not about brainpower or personal needs…it’s about differences in perspective only.

And even if they do come at it with a vicious victory shining in their eyes, it’s because they twist the Scriptures to their own prideful designs. I’ve seen it coming for a while now…the renewal of violent male dominance in religion is simply a sign of the times, and now this same spirit is infecting an increasingly public portion of churchianity, along with a growing “men’s movement” in the secular realm that pretends they just want to be allowed to be men, but the barely-there undertone is that they’d like to see women put back into a socially and legally powerless state under their feet.

Satan does detest women, so it makes sense those who are being influenced by him (willingly or unwittingly) would, as well. All that can be done is to keep up the good fight, as Cheryl and everyone who comments here regularly is doing. I’m grateful for this blog–the education is priceless!
