Here's a question: Take the Amish for example, they live very simple yet hard lives where gender roles are strictly enforced for men and women, yet in order to prosper as they do, do you honestly think they could prosper just as much were they to completely reverse the gender roles? Say all the Amish men took care of the kids and did all the cooking and cleaning, while all the Amish women did the barn raising and all of the physically demanding tasks.
We always hear how women are "strong and independent". But really, if women are so strong and independent"
then why were they so easily "oppressed" ? and the like in the first place?
When has anyone ever said that all women are strong and independent? It's a goal, not a description of American society. Especially not prior to 1920.
Read up in your Bible about Adam and Eve. Eve was created to be a helpmate to Adam.
They never mention his first wife Lillth. She went over the wall rather than be subjugated. Up until the Eve story women pretty much had equal rights and duties in everything.
Many of today's women believe that the man is head of the household because the BIBLE told them so.
Time was in France and Louisiana when a woman's father died, her share of the inheritance went to her husband. IIRC, it was in the 1960's that an employed American women could not get a mortgage without a male co signer. When credit cards first came out, they were in the husbands name even if the wife had a job.
And don't forget, when reading about the admonition against gays in Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis, when the townsmen came to Lot's house to get the strangers for sex, Lot gave them his daughters.
Which version of the Bible is this in?
