11/24 Great School Debate

Quote From: m_kbarker

You so don't understand what I am talking about. Physically not all women are weaker than some men. However, that isn't what I was talking about. God made us the weaker vessal because we need to be all different things to our husbands, children, and society. He made us feel something that most men don't. That is why women nurture and have the tendency to love differently. It makes me feel special when my husband takes the time to open the door for me. And I want my son to respect women in the same way. It is all about standards. Some people just have higher standards than others. It isn't about male vs. female. That is typical though in this society. And I don't need my 3 year old to open the door for me but I sure am proud of him when he does. Or when he holds the door for an elderly at the nursing home. Again just standards and respect.
Ok, well that's where you lose me. I'm an atheist.

BTW...I don't have low standards...I would be just as proud if my DAUGHTER held the door open for an elderly person. But women aren't ELDERLY people. You are comparing a capable woman with and elderly person.

Why is that the "weaker" vessel?  I understand that men and women are different, but  really does that make one weaker or stronger? 

 

 

And I want my son to respect women in the same way. It is all about standards.

 

I think it's great that you want your son to respect women, that is a trait that many people seem to lack.  I believe that it is important to respect all people, not based on arbitrary traits such as sex, age, race, education, etc.

 

I sure am proud of him when he does

 

Isn't pride a sin?  I don't want to start an OT debate, but this seems out of place coming from a so called Christian perspective.
