Each one is still to remain under the authority of their husband. Is this the way that men treat women as they themselves would like to be treated?</I><BR/><BR/>Great points and a most important question.<BR/><BR/>On C.S. Lewis and his view and treatment of women, have you read Candice Fredrick's and Sam McBride's <I>Women Among the Inklings</I>? They say Lewis "did not practice the model for Christian marriage he espoused" (p.83) and that he "presumes, even after his tentative embrace of the ‘feminine’ quality of emotion, that being called ‘masculine’ is a compliment to either gender, whereas being called ‘feminine’ is uncomplimentary to men" (p.85). We can hope that Lewis, like other most other Christian men, was however slowly and ever more fully reforming his views of "Equality."J. K.
