Apparently not, according to today's "new" woman. I read this in my Real Simple magazine today ~
She was talking about the olden days when a gentleman would open a car door for a lady or walk on the outside of the sidewalk when escorting her...But nowadays women aren't considered the weaker or gentler sex {thank goodness for that}, and these acts are viewed differently. They can seem old-fashioned or even offensive.
Our society has gotten so far removed from biblical principles, it continues to amaze me. The Bible definitely states that women are the weaker sex ~
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
I Peter 3:7
This is why Dennis Prager believes universities are destroying our society. People know there is a difference between men and women before entering the universities, but come out believing they are the same.
Where has common sense gone? Look at the bodies of men and women. They are very different. Testosterone levels are very different. A man's levels vary between 250 to 850, whereas a woman's level are between 25 to 85. Women can bear children and nurse them. Men can play football....MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT!!!
I hate to be the one to tell you this, women, but we are the weaker sex. God said it and science proves it. I could care less what the university tells you, they are wrong. Until women start acting like women, men won't act like men.
So enjoy the differences between the sexes. They are awesome! I don't want to be like a man. I like to be treated like a lady. I want to be protected. I don't like what feminism has done to our country. To me it is very sad. Be thankful the next time a man opens a door for you.
Logging you in...

Your comments that most gays adopt out of the foster care system may be true, although even individuals may also adopt. The fact is the vast majority of gay marriage adoptions are adopting their partner's kids, but like I have said, I am not opposing gays adopting, so long as that is deemed best for the child with the recognition that a heterosexual stable couple is a much better choice in most cases as they provide a mom and a dad to the child and normalcy. It is hard enough to be adopted, but to then also deal with a same sex situation is not an ideal for the psychological and emotional well being of the child. Better than no adoption... perhaps... or perhaps not, but again a brand new experiment to be determined after many years.
I know there are some terrific monogamous and faithful gay couples who are in long term relationships, but the facts of gay civil unions and marriage is that the vast majority are open, meaning the partner's are not monogamous, but fooling around regularly with others. Is that a good place for an adopted child to ultimately discover that dad and dad love each other and yet sleep with other partners regularly? Will that engender a morality that is long term helpful to society and the institution of marriage?
The fact is that in spite of the huge divorce rate in heterosexual marriage, 85%+ of married people seek to be monogamous and to keep the marriage unit in tact, and the same cannot be said of the gay couples who consider themselves married. Do your research and for every monogamous gay couple you will find 15-20 who live within an open relationship with lots of other sexual partners. Is this what we want marriage to become, and is this what we want to model to our children, naturally born or adopted?
And, if you want to enter a dialogue with us, you are welcome to do so by writing to me at Bootsy328@yahoo.com, but trolling is not appreciated or helpful. I am amazed at how much one person can write just to have it find the delete button because their thoughts are trollish and anonymous. Those who comment should be responsible enough to not use fake emails and the constant changing of ip addresses. What do Lori's trolls have to hide? They need to grow up and become part of the world of rational discussion, even on important issues with which the significantly disagree.

A pastor once tough me that anything with two heads is a monster and will eventually kill itself for the struggle of power.
With the authority of biblical headship comes huge responsibility. Men over the ages have abused the authority that God gave them and have put a distrust and bad examples for people to use against biblical headship. It is a blessing to see a wife who loves her husband and to see a husband love his wife.
I once taught my young niece who's mother and father have taught her she is equal that she was special. I recounted the story of the Titanic and the leaders on that Vessel held Woman as the weaker vessel in a special way. Yet there was a French vessel that when it sank the women and children were killed by the men as they fought to save there own lives.
I teach my sons to protect there mother and sisters. I love my wife and Yes scripture says she is weaker and the woman was first deceived and I agree with scripture that women should not be in church leadership, However my wife is an incredible blessing to me and my children. She is far superior to me in many areas; history, music, cooking, compassion and many others but together we are one and I am grateful for her.
