[QUOTE="Resha Caner, post: 71968798, member: 269139"] Christians are often just as sinful as unbelievers, so you are correct, the track record is pretty bad. And women have had the worse lot, so I'm not trying to minimize that. However, I do think the lot of men gets lost and the sympathy pendulum sometimes swings too far. It's not all sunshine and roses for men. Some men struggle with the "soldier on" stereotype that men are supposed to meet. And let's not forget that young boys were also victims of the extremes of arranged marriages. They didn't like it either. It could be pretty gruesome. Some traditions castrated those whom they didn't want to procreate. Some just killed them. The Ottoman sultans had something they called "The Cage" where the male heir was locked away to prevent him from causing daddy trouble until he was due to inherit. If you want some films that deal with that, consider [I]The Lion in Winter[/I] or [I]Fiddler on the Roof.[/I] Our current dating paradigm is also really hard on some guys. I happen to know of some guys who would prefer the courting model. I understand your point, but I wouldn't call those rights per the meaning in the contemporary U.S. A right is a legally recognized entity such that you can sue in court to protect it. So, if widows had "rights" it would mean they could sue a church and seize the offering as their due. I don't think that's what God has in mind. So, I would call things like property a "trust" (think Luke 20:9-19) rather than a "right". As that parable shows, God is well aware we are abusing the trust, but I don't think making it a legal right is the answer. Agreed. [/QUOTE]
