I need to watch the cartoon of that!
I've watched the TV movie excessively as a child. Didn't even know about Orwell until I was 14. 1984 is one of my favorite books of all time. Still lives rent free in my head after all these years.I need to watch the cartoon of that!
That would be interesting. Aren't you actually complementarian? What's it promoting instead of that?I am currently reading a book called "The Making of Biblical Womanhood" by Beth Allison Barr.
The book challenges complementarian beliefs with research of the history of the church, and the history of the Roman Empire (to better understand the context of passages in the New Testament).

I thought some aspects of complementarianism were Biblical and legitimate before reading this book.
This book has changed my mind on the complementarian vs egalitarian argument. While I'm still in the learning process, I now consider myself egalitarian.
This book was written by a medieval historian that had practiced complementarianism. Over time, she came to realize that complementarianism was not supported by the Bible. She factors in history from multiple times, including Roman history, Paul's letters in context of Roman history, medieval history, and Reformation history.
My thoughts is egalitarian's end goal is woman so equal to men they ‘become men’. But complementarian's end goal is men dominating women. Neither are Biblical & according to God’s design. Both can sound good on paper but the people practicing them have these objectives in mind. We want Biblical. Not historical. Not traditional. Not what's newI thought some aspects of complementarianism were Biblical and legitimate before reading this book.
