I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about the "Battle of the Sexes." When I was at a children's retreat recently, I encountered a woman who was very negative about the male gender. It made me think about my own behavior towards the men in my life. I hear a lot of bashing on both sides, but maybe I am more sensitive to the male bashing because I am the mother of a boy. I want him to find a mate (someday) who appreciates him in all of his maleness, embraces the differences and doesn't bash him for being a guy. I sometimes wonder if any of these little girls wearing their "Girls rule" t-shirts will grow up to love and appreciate him, or if he's doomed to be feminized by the first cute chick who comes along.
Along these lines, I read a blog discussing the idea of equality and "Battle of the Sexes" from a Biblical standpoint. It was good discussion of equality without the negativity and bashing. Here it is: http://menandwomenleaderstogether.blogspot.com/2008/05/adam-and-eve-in-genesis-and-first.html
Hopefully I've posted that correctly.
