Not all of us wear nail polish and sit in a beauty parlor
To me, who I am is internal, not external. and that is not because I am ugly that makes me the person I am. The Bible tells us to cultivate the inner person. And it is a privilege that Jesus bought us to be no longer male nor female but to all be one in Him.
Granted there are a lot of women who enjoy being what one would call "bimbos". How hard is it for anyone to wake up and smell the coffee? All you have to do is to seriously listen to the news and realize that if you have read the Bible at all, we are living in the End Times. No amount of being great as a homemaker and mother is going to keep your children safe in this world anymore. Mothers are the first educator their children ususally have, and throughout life, share that responsibility to raise their offspring to become thinking adults, not just in it for the pleasure, like some beer commercial. Moreover, you don't have to be male to be interested in religion or politics. These two often conflicting ideas control our lives, and if you don't think so, ride public transportation and keep down your adrenaline level. It has to occur to you that it the one sitting down next to you could have more in his backpack than his lunch and school books.
If you know anything about what Muliticulturalism means, it means less rights for women, not more. In Western culture, the benefits of "equality" spoken of towards women in the New Testament have been realilzed to a great extent, only for a new generation which wants to live free of God, to let slip away. Worse yet, in their ignorance, they think that Islam is a religion of peace and love. They know nothing of how it really is for women who live in Muslim countries, and please, don't rain on their parade. It must be a challenge to be a woman in the Middle East, but there are women who are rising to meet the challenge.
If you have worked in a field where many of those doing the same job are male, you know only too well, that equality is just as fair as those around you. And if you are the brunt of "dumb women jokes, dumb blonde jokes, dumb, dumb ......" the list goes on, or the men who love to rag on their wives and you are a woman so you a "guilty". Just what kind of a spiritual life does that man have? People who are happy don't try to lift themselves up by degrading others.
But some may say it is "American Culture", or is it the avoidance of having "culture"? Does a woman not need to read philosophy and poetry and be a musician or artist? Why should she read the Bible when she isn't ever alowed a chance to share her thoughts? Sit and pray that God will drop that wonderful idea in a man's head?
There are many women who have to be their for their sons and daughters because the father works nights, or she is widowed or divorced or married to a man who goes fishing and leaves the kids at home, the only way her boys will learn to throw a baseball and to bat, is if she teaches them. She tells her sons about Jesus and reads the Bible in her family. Because otherwise those kids won't know. It may first be the man's responsiblity, but if weeds grow in her back yard that obscure snakes that can threaten her children and she doesn't take those weeds out, aren't they her weeds too? That is not an emotional decision, that is just plain logic.
Women are good multi-taskers. And are often more compassionate than men are. I clean the house about the same amount now as my family because I work, I didn't used to and I found in my overtiredness, I was getting angry about it how little spare time I have. They have as much opportunity to have self-discipline too. So I spend more time now with my family and less time worrying about the dust bunnies. And more time using my brain because I enjoy that.
Women are as complex as men.
That is if they want to be.
