Men, leaders?
It's stated in the Bible that men are supposed to lead and wives submit. I used to have a problem with this idea because it seems so chauvinistic. My God a chauvinist?
Of course, I read the verse out of context - men are supposed to LOVE their wives in return.
I guess the reason why I felt so discomfited is that all around me, I see men who are unfit to lead. They don't love their wives. Our society is such that affairs, cheating, two-timing is as common as grass. Sad, but true.
Even those men who are nice don't have 'leadership' qualities. Most of them, anyway. They seem very laid-back and blur most of the time.
And those men who actually have a clue, well, they can get pretty annoying. They seem to think that they're right all the time, and they can be very stubborn. Leadership qualities without humility is nothing. Look at Jesus. He is a leader, and He's humble.
To all boys out there - develop your self before you even think of having a girlfriend! Make sure you're fit to lead. Maybe then women wouldn't be taking over the world to fill the void!
And to the chauvinists out there, who interpret the Bible as God's green light to think women are inferior, think again. God never meant men to patronize women. Love, cherish and respect women. We submit, but only to worthy men.
Chauvinists who treat women condescendingly can do what King Kong did - go climb up the highest building in the vicinity, thump on your chests a few times, add a few yells for good measure...and then I suggest you jump down the building for the grand finale! We inferior women will be standing admiringly watching your antics, and applaud. Loudly.
