Ohh my God. I love this post. Thank you very much for saying the truth.

Haywhymido:
what am tryin to say is dat as far as human world is concerned God use eve to make perfection to adam's life.If God want gender equality he cld av make eve on her own jst like adam, or take half of adam's ribs to make her

golddeejay:
dis again!!! D feminists will b fightin for gender equality till d end of tym. It has bn like dat frm the beginnin...adam first, then eve made frm him, most responsibilities was on adam. Gender inequalities is embedded in our religion, cultures, mentalities...fight n preach all u want, men always have a headstart over women. It doesnt mean some women cant rise above d obstacles to reach d peak but it is an individual fight n determination, most women r too weak to try. If u r a woman, then stop all these equality talk n walk the walk. The gender inequality will always b der

FADEO:
Gender equality or gender inequality is going to ginger strife for mastery. In as much am not in support of seeing a woman or the female folks as a subordinate being in the homo sapien and also as secondary being in the general public. I still strongly believe that when it comes to the family level. there is nothing to debate about, there is no gender equality in the family. The man is head while the woman is a HELP MATE not HOUSE HELP. It simply implies that the head is not useful without the body but the head bears a larger part of the sensory organs: the eyes, nose, tongue, ear including feeling that is jointly and largely shared by the remaining parts of the body.

I wont teach my daughters to be dependent and feel inferior to any man but i will teach them to respect and submit to their HUSBAND as instructed by the HOLY BIBLE as two things have always worked from ages past which are HUSBAND, LOVE YOUR WIFE and WIFE SUBMIT TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND.

We can shout gender equality from age to age but the truth is that our gender are not equal but that does not in any way diminish the quality and attribute of a woman as we are MATE and but one is HEAD and the other is HELP...

A man is the HEAD OF HIS WIFE, NOT OF ANOTHER WOMAN/EVERY OTHER WOMAN ON EARTH.

swaggzo:


some men are so weak... that they can't even spell!

swaggzo:



what about the women who take care of the family, pay all the bills and feed and clothe both husband and children. who here then is the head?
The lazy a$$ men that depend on their wives for everything or... what?
some women even sponsor their husbands in school( one family I know, the guy's wife sponsored his masters degree program)
The most annoying thing is that people don't even seem to recognize those type of women. no matter what they do, their husband's still get all the glory just cuz he's "the man"

May God bless such women jare.

FADEO:


The bible categorically states that a man that cannot feed his family is worse than an infidel. Women are a blessing to our world. But considering a married couple, the man is the head of a woman but outside the married couple life no man (including me) is the head of another woman but the fact that a man don't have the resources to feed for his family does not negate the fact that he is the head of the household. If he is a lazy a$$, that another discussion. He will be termed a figure-head if he cant provide for his family.....lol.

Hope you get my point?

But for gender equality, we are not equally and am not saying men are higher than women but we are not equal. the gender that is higher depends on the personality involved.

carefreewannabe:


I hope you also know that the Bible tells slaves to submit to their masters.

1 Peter 2:18-20 (New International Version)

18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

I see no reason why I would have One daughter and Four sons, and let my only daughter do all the housework while my Four sons sit in the living room all day watching football and playing video games. Its total n0nsense!

Sophyrocks:


Do you notice that God did not designate adam to be head of Eve in the begining? It was until adam and eve sinned that God told Eve since she decided to sin against him, therefore she would go through pregnancy pains, her husband would dominate her, her cravings will be for her husband and that they were going to grow old and die. This means that all of these consequences including men being heads were not meant to be in the first place. This shows that in the sight of God, all humans, male and female are equal. God detests any form of gender discrimination. Which was why it is written in 1peter 3 vs 7 that Husbands need to show their wives honor since both of them are heirs of the kingdom of God. There would have been a special preference for one gender over another by God. But No, God is never partial. when God gives laws, he gives to every human, male and female. The way he handles both gender shows he views them equally. It is selfish humans who like to dominate others to their injury that created partiality. If men and women are not equal, then Jesus would not have told us that we should DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO YOU.

One thing people do not understand is that it is only when a Man becomes a HUSBAND that he becomes the head of his wife. If you are not a husband, you are not the head of anybody. Note that the word 'Husband' was repeatedly used in the bible when talking about Headship. A man is the HEAD OF HIS WIFE, NOT OF ANOTHER WOMAN/EVERY OTHER WOMAN ON EARTH, NOT OF HIS MOTHER. And inspite of being the Head, 1peter 3vs 7 says you are still to show your wife HONOR. This tells you God almighty is against any form of discrimination.

You lesbians just want men to play your own role but can't play the role men play in the society.

If you're reasonable enough, you should know that there are no known male lesbians in the world.

Feminism will be taken serious if the amount of coal mine workers hits 1000 and we have female soldiers ranking close to 1/3.

swaggzo:


boy you're being totally pointless.
Even the devil knows that there is a whole lot of differences between masculine and feminine jobs.

swaggzo:
About soldiers... If I was given charge to recruit 10 soldiers out of 50 males and 50 females, I'ud pick 7 males and 3 females.
Some things are just too masculine for the feminine gender

swaggzo:

But when it comes to freedom of making decisions and being leaders in the society... I don't see why women deserve so little of everything.

Segeggs:
double standards yet you want equality.

there can. Never be gender equality so long you know and believe in the bolded .only the strong lead. You can't sit your stinking and lazy self down and expect the world to be handed to you on a platter of gold. We have strong women in every sector and we men are proud of them cos majority of them got there on merit. I'll advice you to work hard towards success on an individual note instead of following some dumb movement, chanting silly slogans and not doing the right things.

U deserve to be a leader because of hw good u ar not because u ar male or female.U will find out dat when it comes to leadership and skills males ar more efficient because right from when a boy is small he is taught to b in charge wen d father is absent. we shouldn't pick a female because dey are more males in a position of authority but because dey can do d job.

Please tell us,
1. what should the Bible exhort (slaves or servants) to do?

Not doing a good job at all today. Feeling sick, staying at home.

The Bible should condemn slavery.

carefreewannabe:

Not really. The more I see how people use the Bible to support injustice and inequality, the more I read it, the more distance and dislike am I developing for this religion created by medieval men.

carefreewannabe:

It's just that I love some of Jesus Christ's teachings. I think he was a revolutionary men, way ahead of his time.
