Too bad not enough men know the difference between helpmate and servant.
Sometimes, the best way to help someone is to do a better job than they could. |

That's very true. But that's the nature of a fallen world. People want to lord over other people instead of willingly submitting themselves to serve another as Christ did. Sometimes, the best way to help someone is to do a better job than they could.
Perhaps. I just see too many professing feminists doing the same thing that they accuse men of doing. |

Apparently God's idea of a real woman is one who is willing to submit herself to help make her husband a better Christ follower, husband, and father.  |

I don't want a push-over, I want a woman! I don't believe in gender-roles. |

Why is a woman considered a pushover because she wants to le a man be the hed of the family that God intended for him to be? Why is a woman considered a pushover for being a helpmate?
Part of the problem with the majority of marriages in this country and in this world is that feminists and their sympathizers have no idea what God intends for a marriage to be. Explains the high divorce rate.
The Bible says: 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 16"So the last will be first, and the first will be last." Matthew 20:16
Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Luke 18:14 "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Again and again in God's world we find nothing but example after example of GOD demonstrating that His way is the direct opposite of the way of the feminists and their sympathizers.
But that is to be expected from this ever- spiraling- down world system. I don't believe in gender-roles
Really? Can a man carry a baby in a womb? Can a man produce breast milk and feed a newborn when he is hungry? Can a woman produce sperm?
Of course there are gender roles. But feminist and feminist sympathizers always view the gender roles as degrading instead of in the complementary manner that God intends.

Of course there are differences between men and women. That's not what I meant by gender roles. Oh and btw, men can lactate...it's a lesser known fact of nature. It's not as though those little male nipples aren't connected to anything.
There's more to a person than their gender. And don't bash feminists, unless you also disagree that women should be allow to vote, go to school, work, run for office...etc.
PS
No women wants me as the head of a marriage and neither do I. It'd just be her, constantly trying to explain things to me, and me...sitting there saying, "I don't get it." It'd just be her, telling me what we should do and me...sitting there saying, "I don't know what to do."
Egalitarian is the way to go.

Don't pass the buck over to "The Fallen World." There are plenty of "Bible-believing Christians" who don't get it.

Such as? |

Nevertheless, there ARE gender roles. Oh and btw, men can lactate...it's a lesser known fact of nature. It's not as though those little male nipples aren't connected to anything.
I am aware that soome men do lactate. They just ain't lactating enough to feed no babies from their breast. There's more to a person than their gender.
I completely agree. And don't bash feminists, unless you also disagree that women should be allow to vote, go to school, work, run for office...etc.
Who is bashing feminists? I'm all for civil rights when that's what so called feminists are working towards. But modern day feminists and their sympathizers are more concerned with POWER than they are with rights. PS
