I see it, at least in part, as an attempt to shore up patriarchy by blaming the woman as a "weaker vessel". Patriarchy is slowly dying and thank God it is. I regard it as one of the worst evils humanity has ever inflicted on itself.
Weaker vessel does not speak of a woman's physical weakness.
By God's design a woman is a 'responder.' Hence, she is designed to be a help meet. "To respond." That means the woman will have an insatiable desire when not having a point to be having her purpose fulfilled. Its one reason why woman can be so deeply devoted to the teaching when the Word of God is being well taught, and men can become macho in attitude. Like with the women and the disciples of Christ were. The women were the first ones at the tomb to see the risen Christ.
Weaker vessel = she needs to be filled. In the ideal, God designed the righteous woman to have a desire to be a helper for her husband. Even if its just to help him enjoy living. And, the righteous husband will likewise desire to always be responding to the Lord.
Its a chain of command of Divine design.
Being the weaker vessel does not mean Adam is not weak before the Lord. It does not say she is the weak vessel. But the 'weaker."
She is the "weaker" vessel. Both man and women before God are weak.
The woman is just the weaker.
For by design she needs to double-depend for her sense of fulfillment. Yet, if her man has learned to be fully dependent upon the Lord for his life? His fulfillment in the Lord will reflect back unto her, and they will both will know great joy and happinesses that 'independent souls ' never will know existed.
We need sound doctrine to fully depend upon the Lord. These clever false teachings we find everywhere are designed to obstruct and confuse.,... and mislead... Its the Devil's new fruit, designed to draw us away from the Tree of Life found only in sound doctrinal teachings. Bitterness in attitude has no place in God's household. Feminism is bitter fruit.
