Men and women, NOT men vs. women - sept 19, 2008

Recently I’ve been hearing some crazy stuff about guys and girls, who’s superior to whom, kind of thing. We’re living in a men vs. women society when is should be men and women working together to make the world, themselves, and others better. 

Since I’ve been reading Wild at Heart and Captivating, I tend to side with the guys a little bit more then I used to. I believe that girls can do anything they put their mind to, but there are some things that guys are just supposed to do and some things that women are just supposed to do. 

I’m not saying guys can be chauvinistic and all, “well you’re a girl so you can’t do that” or “You’re just one of ‘them’” (referring to the fact that girls aren’t individuals, we are all one. We have no opinions and if we do, then they aren’t worth anything.) I am saying that there are some things girls are good at and some things guys are good at and you should do what you’re good at. 

We need guys to help us do things. Some things we think we can do on our own but we can’t. Women need someone strong that they can depend on and trust. We aren’t weak, we are strong, but we are strong in different ways. 

I don’t think that men are a rough draft and that women are the perfection. God created us all. No one is perfect. We were created to be perfect but that plan failed in Eden, Eve gave into the snake (btw – Satan went after the woman because he feared her beauty) and Adam gave into Eve instead of standing up for her and to her. Both men and women should stand up, respectively, to the other when need be. I also don’t think that just because we were formed from Adam that that means they are better than us and all that.

Women were created after Adam to be Adam’s help mate, his life saver. God said that “it is not good for man to be alone.” He needs a help mate. That is when Eve came into the picture. We need men. They are strong, protective, and fun to have around, but we also need women. Women are sensitive and caring. Men and women were created to work together and balance each other out. They work amazingly together. Without one or the other, the world would be completely different. 

Boys and men alike have that desire to be wild and fight for what they want/believe. Women tend to be more caring and compassionate. We both need to stand up for what we believe in and love. Men should stand up for women. Protect them. Women need to respect men. In marriage men are the head of the household, that doesn’t give men the right to take advantage of their wives. It does give them the control to make the decisions to protect, care for, and love them.

There really are guys out there that have a passion and compassion.
They are strong and, I know they don't want me to call them beautiful, but that's really what they are! They reveal their strength, beauty, and compassion through their actions and words.
They’re unselfish and all about helping others. 
I know they are compassionate somewhere deep inside themselves; it just isn't always so predominate. They have strength inside them.
What they want to do with their lives takes strength. 
They have a passion to serve God
