I am nothing if not my husbands equal. He knows it, I know it, and my daughters and sons know it. And I've never, in my life, been beaten. I am not a victim, I am not angry and this gender equality you so blithely speak of is evident in my home. If you knew my family, you would know that my children are nothing but people of strength, integrity and character - I don't have a wilting flower among my daughters or a violent chauvinist among my sons. In fact, one of my non-feminist daughters just recently won her division in a male-dominated martial art tournament (fighting 4 belts up from her lowly white belt). And I could very easily stand toe to toe with any feminist leader in our culture war and come out unscathed. I am not a weak, withering, male-dominated, unthinking female. The difference is that I don't need to rage in the street, proclaiming my equality. I already know I'm an equal. That is how God made me - He made me in His image. I don't need to compete with men. I already know my worth. I'm very sorry you don't know yours.<br /><br />Enola GayEnola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-71066940860345834002018-02-12T23:44:42.894-08:002018-02-12T23:44:42.894-08:00Some of us had no choice in the matter and have no...Some of us had no choice in the matter and have not been assigned motherhood.

I heard just last week, from a godly woman, that her daughter was putting her 3 children in preschool/daycare so that she could go back to work. Her husband is encouraging her to do this, not because they need the money but because he knows she probably misses her nursing career. So they are willing to sacrifice their children so she can have a fleeting satisfaction. I tremble for those children, who are being taken out of their godly home for hours a day and being exposed to ungodliness and worldliness instead.

She was visibly upset and walked away from them into the produce section. I followed and watched, then told her she was in God's Safekeeping no matter what happened. And that God did not leave his creation unguarded even though there were times it seemed He was no where to be found. All she needed to do was to look inside.
