Ladies, Are You Sure?
Oh my! I can get into
a lot of trouble broaching this subject, but I am going to try it anyway. With all of the efforts in American society
to prove that there are no significant differences between the sexes I would
like to report two observations for your consideration.
(1)On the day Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot a man was killed
by the gunman as he sheltered his wife between his body and a wall. She, too, was wounded, but survived.
(2)As the tornado approached Oklahoma City last month a man
pushed his wife into their bathtub and covered her with his own body. He was later found injured, but alive in
their front yard. His wife escaped unharmed.
In these moments of split-second decisions do you think
anyone took time to consider the issue of gender equality? Or was something else at work?
Are men conditioned or designed to be protectors? Either way, are you sure we should be messing
with this? Are you willing to allow your
husband to protect you if that is the way he is inclined? Suppose it feels inconvenient or stifling or
controlling? I will leave it to you to
determine your course. As for me, I
intend to cooperate with it just in case that was God’s plan from the
beginning.
