Genesis 3:16 says about women- "thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee."
This was a result of the fall. Because of this women are different than men spiritually. There is a certain area in life that applies to women and not to men. Men are more rational while women are more emotional. Women are kind of competing for the approval of their husband, but men want someone who will accept him as he is. Men aren't as much people pleasers as men. men care more about what they think than what other people think.
I heard some quote the other day that made me think- it is kind of downgrading- but it said- "An umpire is like a woman- he makes snap decisions and never reverses them."
I think there may be some truth to that. I am a female and I do seem to let my passions control me- good ones- instead of me controlling them. Women are alot more intuitite I think. We go by feelings more than information. It is a natural result of being able to have and take care of children.
This is all my theory.
