I bet smart feminists could come up with a standard favorable to the man, such as no means no.
That's not about compassion.
What is the legal standard of sexual harassment? Unwanted behavior by the woman AS DETERMINED BY THE MAN would be legally violating the standard of compassion. Sound good?
Each state has their own definition of sexual harassment. According to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), sexual harassment occurs when one person subjects another to unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

Once again, NOT GENDER SPECIFIC.

Right! It’s about equality; the equal power to hold the other person accountable to subjective standards.
sexual harassment occurs when one person subjects another to unwanted sexual advances
Likewise:
  1. Unlawful lack of compassion occurs when one person subjects another to unwanted uncompassionate words and acts and tone.

But we all know the last thing feminists want is equality when it does not benefit them.

Good on your husband, but you can't compare ALL men to your husband.
He really was just a regular guy, I promise.

He was an overweight gamer that no one really believed in. He had a lot of anger and vindictiveness starting out. I thought I was better than him and found plenty of examples in his behaviour.

But he was sincere in pursuing me and God. Its not about finding a risk free perfect guy. Its about accepting a good enough guy (the key being that he fears God, not his income, looks, or whatever) and investing and building with him.

This is hard work. It takes so much patience and sacrifice to truly love anyone. Of course some guys will never change. They will never level up. But an average guy who fears the Lord can easily transform with good motivation. We wives help not because men have it all figured out but because they need help at times.

Husband's still have to submit to their wives....Master's still have to submit to slaves...parents still have to submit to their children.
They don't by nature of the role. Imagine if I had to submit to my children because of a bad interpretation of the verse that says submit to one another. That would be chaos. God knows how to avoid chaos.

Heaven is a monarchy, not a democracy. God says, creation obeys. Authority does not automatically lead to abuse. God is a good Father. His right to our obedience is absolute. But like any good father, his strength and might is for the good of his loved ones.

Fearing men and their potential to abuse can cause women to not give them a fair chance to improve in a relationship---as it almost did in my case.

Men have such a tremendous potential to care and sacrifice. But if all we ever mention are the men who send their wives to the hospital, we'll never see or understand this capacity.

We have to love even our enemies. Its not fair and it never was meant to be...just like Jesus going to the cross was not fair to Him. We can't just act as if "oh of course Jesus went to the cross"... we didn't deserve that and God couldve rightfully let us all die in our sins.

This vid is great. Near the last minute is a newscast of a feminist talking about how there is nothing wrong with a well educated woman, who has a great career hoping there is a man on the other side equal or better to her. The masculinist responds. Wait. Before, it was OK for me to treat when they made more money but now that you are making money, you cannot be that one?


hmn :watching and waiting:hlf lfhlfhlfhlfhlfhlfhlfh:Ohz

If men objected, they'd be called misogynistic. Women do it and that's OK.Equality, only when it benefits feminists.

Wow! So young and so much wisdom.

It is clear to me, and I’m sure anyone reading this thread, that you have love in your heart, including love in your heart for men, generally, and your husband, specifically.

This is a sharp contrast to other posters who convey bitterness and contempt in every post even though they are old enough to know better, old enough to be your grandmother.

Imagine if only the wife had to submit in her marriage because of a bad interpretation of Ephesians 5:21!!! And yet, that's exactly how so many have interpreted the verse.

The bible tells us...ALL of us to submit to one another. The bible does NOT say that we ALL must submit to each other in equal measure.
Ephesians tells children to obey their parents. It also tells fathers not to provoke their children to anger, but to bring them up with training and instruction in the Lord.

The parent-child relationship is based on mutual respect (notice I didn't say 'equal' respect). Children owe their parents obedience and parents owe their children the respect as children in correspondence to their dignity as sons and daughters of God. Parents should avoid abusive and unreasonable disciplinary measures that can rob those children of their dignity. They owe it to their children to provide for their physical needs and education.

Because a child cannot do for him/herself, the parent submits to that child by helping the child to learn how to grow and be self-sufficient.
Heaven is a monarchy, not a democracy. God says, creation obeys. Authority does not automatically lead to abuse.
You're right. It doesn't. But it can lead to abuse if the person's ego is out of control, and if a bible verse is misinterpreted.
God is a good Father. His right to our obedience is absolute. But like any good father, his strength and might is for the good of his loved ones.
And just how many 'good father's are out there? Hint: Not as many as you may think!
Fearing men and their potential to abuse can cause women to not give them a fair chance to improve in a relationship---as it almost did in my case.
That's because most men who DO abuse women have no desire to 'improve'. Their ego prevents them from believing that they might be doing something wrong.
Men have such a tremendous potential to care and sacrifice. But if all we ever mention are the men who send their wives to the hospital, we'll never see or understand this capacity.
Abuse comes in many forms, Wynona. Financial, sexual, emotional, religious, verbal, physical... I saw a statistic recently that said something like, although divorce is initiated by 80% of wives, 53% of those wives are divorcing their husbands because of SOME form of ABUSE.

While these men have the potential to care and sacrifice for their wives, many of them don't.
We have to love even our enemies. Its not fair and it never was meant to be...just like Jesus going to the cross was not fair to Him. We can't just act as if "oh of course Jesus went to the cross"... we didn't deserve that and God couldve rightfully let us all die in our sins.
Oh, I can love my enemies. From afar.

Mutual respect...but not equal respect. That is what I think biblical marriage is.

The husband is biblically commanded to honor his wife as a co heir to the grace of life. Honor for wives commanded in more than one new testament. Husbands who fail in this have their prayers hindered. (Verse? will maybe add later).

But like you mentioned, its not equal. The wife is to respect her husband as head of the marriage just as Christ is the head of the church. Christ does not share an equal amount of authority with the Church.

I'm planning to go to Jacksonville, FL next month. Still far from North Carolina though. LOL My wife's favorite vacation destination is Outerbanks. The next time we go, perhaps we could have dinner together?

Not too much bitterness in that post. :watching and waiting:

Let's change the sex and imagine the response. Imagine I wrote, "And just how many 'good mother's are out there? Hint: Not as many as you may think!" One can just imagine the outrage, the cries of misogyny.

Feminists lack the humility to adjust their standard of good to meet reality. Compared to father's in the animal world, human father's rank supreme. Feminists are so hateful, they deem the best father's in the world as 'not good' and think they have the right standard. ROFLMAO.

Ha! My birthday's in May too! What a great reason to figure out a beach trip
Hers is the 13th. How far are you away from Outerbanks?

Last time we got there, we planned to have dinner as the sunset on the ocean. Not a bad way to begin the vacation. :woot:
