I sense that there is a lot of hurt being expressed here because of past offenses that have been committed by complementarians.

I had hoped to be able to go through all the comments and correct the misunderstandings on what I meant but time has run out and my daughter and her family arrives today for a four day stay so I will be out of the loop a little while longer.

I will just give a brief comment that this isn’t about stereotypes but about generalities and things outside the generalities do not mean that a person is in sin. All the generalities do is to help us understand that there are differences between male and female and we may need to think outside of our own box in order to understand each other and to be understood. If females were the exact same as all males, then females would not be needed in order to be “complementary”. I believe very strongly that we are needed.

As individuals we definitely do not totally “fit into the box”. My husband is much more emotional than I am. I tend towards logic and I am also trying to understand and then I work hard to figure out ways to be understood. Sometimes I may come across as not having much emotion. I do have emotion. It is just that my logical mind usually gets to rent the first space in my head.

I will be back to this thread later. There are many more things to clear up. 🙂
