Hi Sam,

I will let my readers respond to your questions, however not everyone reads the comment section and not everyone who reads the comments even feels comfortable to comment.

As far as the complementarian position in the Evangelical Church, it is a big position in the Southern Baptist Convention, and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarianism):

Groups of churches that broadly support this position include some members of the Southern Baptist Convention,[2] the Presbyterian Church of America, the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Conservative Mennonites, Newfrontiers, the Dutch Reformed Church, and Sovereign Grace Ministries, among others. A moderate form of complementarianism is espoused by the Calvary Chapel movement.

The couple whose loss of friendship that I endured that pushed me into this area including my DVD series and this blog were from a Calvary Chapel church.

Why do people (women) put up with this nonsense? That’s a good question. I know that for myself I am always wanted to please and standing up for myself really wasn’t an option. It appears that I am not unusual as there are many women who have put up with all kinds of abuse and still came back with the thought that it has to get better. I think that this is the way many women are “wired”.
