Thank you. She's right. It's especially true if you have a strong personality or level of responsibility that requires those traits. It can be challenging for some to turn it off when they get home.
According to Miranda Kerr: Women "Need to Make a Little Effort" When It Comes to Pleasing Their Men
"My grandma taught me that men are visual and you need to make a little effort," the model said in an interview with The Edit. "So when [Evan] comes home, I make sure to have a nice dress on and the candles lit. We make time to have a nice dinner together." (read the full article on Harpar's Bazaar.)
For the purposes of discussion:
Do you agree? Why or Why not? And what constitutes "a little effort?" Who defines it?
That's an odd turn of phrase. Who mentioned dumbing themselves down? I didn't. Nor am I advocating being a doormat either. Sometimes when you have much in your tank you recognize the beauty found in lowering. Each person is welcome to their perspective. I agree with her and have met many who feel the same.
It's common advice to intelligent women, to hide our intelligence so that our men won't feel challenged.
You're almost echoing the arguments that feminists use. I would hope we can see a middle ground on the subject. God has a hierarchy as does the church. But it would appear you have difficulty with the topic. How do you reconcile your beliefs with biblical headship?
What is a "real man?" And while you're at it. What is a "real woman?"
I am confused. You have already indicated we're dealing with "intelligent women" and I would assume that includes a capacity for reason and discernment. So why is a comment made by a popular figure she's never meet or will meet suddenly "threatening?"
The woman who comes home from her job as a nuclear physicist and says "honey, can you fix the kitchen tap for me?" isn't "hiding her intelligence." She's showing respect to her husband, and giving her husband an opportunity to show love to her.
I have a problem with taking someone like Miranda Kerr as a role model, because "beautiful" does not necessarily imply "wise." However, when she says "men feel important when you ask for their help," she's spot on.
don't do this sort of feigned helplessness thing just so your man can feel important.
No, you didn't say it, but it's part of the bigger picture in which Miranda's comments are only one small part.
No, I didn't say Radagast believes Q. My comments against Q were directed at the subject more broadly.
Yes, I was replying to you, and addressing the broader issue raised.
Do you agree? Why or Why not?
And what constitutes "a little effort?" Who defines it?
