[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 71968668, member: 167101"] I've seen those movies, and you're right, they are good examples. I'm not one who is under the impression that "equality" will happen all by itself in the way God intends just because people will 'figure it out' ... No, I'm more under the impression that the equality God is really seeking between men and women will only come about as they put God's Word in place in their lives AND seek to understand it correctly. Thus far, I'm not sure Christians through various ages have had the best track record in doing any, or all, of this, and thus women have often suffered from unneccessary (and hypocritical) male dominance and double-standards along the way. Yes, "equality" as it is given and expressed in modern political parlance is a bit oppressive, but we might want to investigate, say, the difference between 1st Wave Feminism as a Cultural phenomenon versus 2nd to 4th Wave versions of Feminism. Well, for starters, there are property "rights." But, then in a not so direct way, there are social rights built into the overall biblical texts, particularly as seen in the fact that God requires His people to care for the widow, the orphan, the stranger (peaceful immigrant), the disenfranchised, the oppressed, the sick, and the poor. When people are in any of these socially prone position, they have the 'right' to let it be known that they need help and it is then the 'responsibility' of the people of God to help as best they can. Being in these positions isn't something wherein people who find themselves there (or women oppressed in variouis social relationships) should have to 'wait' serendipitously for the people of God to wake up and realize...."ya, duh....uh....look over thare. Those there people might need our help. Maybe? Wad'ya all think?" :doh: ...no, God says He sees this...and we better see it, too. And we men better take care of our wives with love and respect (and faithfulness), or our prayers will be hindered, among other things in life. And women have a right to expect men to be on the right track on all of this. So, there's my Social Activist rant on behalf of women. For the moment. ^_^ Men just need to get off of the Hugh Hefner merry-go-round, period. [/QUOTE]
