Judgemental

[Philip22]

I ask this out of curiousity. Who do you think is more judgemental and critical of other... men/boys or women/girls and why?


And as christians are we even suspose to be judgemental?

 

[Sketcher]

Judgmentalism knows no gender bounds. Though I will say that it is more politically correct for women to judge men than for men to judge women.

I think men tend to judge other men to their face more than women judge each other directly, but women probably judge each other just as much when the person they're judging isn't present.
That's just my perspective though.

 

[E.C.]

I think women are generally more judgmental than men.

And as Christians we should not be judgmental, but at the same time we are not perfect.

I would agree, I have made the same observation, generally speaking, of coarse there are always exceptions. I mean there are men who judge when the other guy is not present and there are women tell you what they think to your face.

It's very easy to judge someone, it's human nature. We shouldn't at all, it is wrong to judge someone and pick faults in their lives when there are faults in our own lives.

However, both Jesus and Paul teach us that we should rebuke people when they do wrong, especially if it's repeatedly.

I would ask this question. You mention faults. So are what we perceive as faults are they actually faults or just traits that are different than ours but we misindentify them as faults, just because someone is different than us? And what would you consider a fault and if a friend had it or a number of faults would you stop being friends?

We are required to judge one another 'with brotherly love'. There is condemnation (which is not ours to do!) and there is judging in love. Yeshua (Jesus) mentioned what the 3 most important things are for any believer; 1 judgment, 2. mercy, 3. faith ... in that order! However, we are not to judge one another based upon our own thinking but rather by what scripture says. Many will use that passage that Yeshua said, 'Judge not lest you be judged', as an excuse to be 'tolerating and accepting' of all no matter who and what they are. This is not bibical. God has His guidelines for His people to follow and if you don't want to follow them, it'd be better if you weren't a believer at all. What Yeshua was saying there is not 'don't judge' but rather, 'He who is going to pass judgment on others can expect to receive judgment himself by others'. If one doesn't go around judging people according to scripture then others aren't likely to go around judging him. We all have faults that come with our characteristics. There are the negatives and the positives. Each of us ought to eliminate the negatives and elevate the positives ourselves but this can also come about with gentle loving.

Us. I know and have been judgemental in my past over other females because we're always sizing eachother up. I blame myself only. I think it can toss up both ways though.

 

[ModestGirlsRock]

I guess I can agree with this statement to an extent. I think females generally will be more judgmental on certain topics, but not on all.

 

[Lange]

Hey all,

I think that girls and guys judge just as much, it just depends on the subject and individual. But I think that girls may talk more about people behind their backs while guys will do it to their face.

But again, I'm betting there might not be much of a difference.

Society as a whole is judgemental but truly society pits us females to look better than each other,out do eachother. I don't think we even realize it.
