Nicole,
You have a way with words. 😉
That last line reminds me of Gen. 30: “When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die! Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

“Playing catch with dad is the epitome of “playing” and “bonding” with him, but why isn’t it considered “nurturing” a child’s spirit?”
-Because that would not fit neatly into their paradigm. I was informed recently by a comp. that any example of men or women switching “roles” is just a result of our sinful nature – so, don’t try to convince them giving examples of people who don’t fit their definition of “lead” or “nurture.” But, then that’s why they must use different words to refer to the same thing.
