I always thought that he had married her for her intellect and appreciated it. <BR/><BR/>Yes, complememntarians are terribly inconsistent and I think that men suffer very much from the stereotyping of the sex roles. How discouraging for everyone involved. Only a few alpha males emerge as leaders and the rest just tag along or suffer exclusion. <BR/><BR/>It is very confusing but I believe that comeplementarianism, as such, was unknown in the older generations of our family. Rather they were traditional and more pragmatic. I do understand your confusion. Complementarianism really does distort the gender roles.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1146852103352498922006-05-05T11:01:00.000-07:002006-05-05T11:01:00.000-07:00I am curious that a man who would not allow your a...I am curious that a man who would not allow your aunt to speak or teach in public would allow her to (the HEAD of the household) to assume his duties as provider.<BR/><BR/>The inconsistencies of the stand complementarians take publically compared to the truth of what is really lived out in their homes is staggering to me. It was one of the biggest stumbling blocks I faces as a young teen. Watching my bright, articulate mother being so limited by the brethren church, while my father who feared leadership, public speaking and had NO public spiritual gifts was shamed, pushed and prodded into his turn at the podium.<BR/><BR/>Life at home was so inconsistent to the stand they took publically. I resented my mother because she seemed unable to be the 'wilting flower' and loathed my weak father because he wasn't the strong spiritual leader I felt was required by this kind of teaching. It was horribly confusing.bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236324338161051924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-1146439149034060992006-04-30T16:19:00.000-07:002006-04-30T16:19:00.000-07:00Suzanne, for your info, I have posted my thoughts ...Suzanne, for your info, I have posted my thoughts on the T4G prohibition.Michael F.
