You were not created to be the same as men. Your natural attributes, affections, and personalities are entirely different from those of a man. They consist of faithfulness, benevolence, kindness, and charity. They also balance the more aggressive and competitive nature of man.
The business world is competitive and sometimes ruthless. We do not doubt that women have both the brainpower and the skills to compete with men. But by competing they must, of necessity, become aggressive and competitive. Thus their godly attributes are diminished and they acquire a quality of sameness with man.
The conventional wisdom of the day would have you be equal with men. We say, we would not have you descend to that level.

ReplyDeleteI like this quote in that he says we are different and shouldn't try to be like men, though I do disagree that we don't have the brainpower to compete with men. We do. Our brains are just as good. We just have different desires and want more loving things.
ReplyDeleteOkay... so maybe I didn't read the post carefully enough. He says we have brain power enough... WOOPS!! My bad... lol
