On Jan. 21, the day after the inauguration, women from all over the country will be rolling into Washington for what promises to be an enormous protest against Donald J. Trump. But millions of women went to the polls for Mr. Trump on Election Day, including, according to surveys, 53 percent of white women.
Why did they?

“”Men are blessed not to notice many things that bug women to death. It’s the curse of Eve.””
Never thought of it that way. I just thought it was lack of awareness on their part or their way of tuning us out and at the same time “getting our goat” as my mother always said. An elephant could walk through a room and they wouldn’t see it! What I don’t understand is after years and years and years of being admonished for their lack of awareness, WHY DON’T THEY CHANGE?
Thousands of women protesting how millions of women voted.
Because my IQ is over 95.
Hahaha....YES!
The other candidate in the race worked their tail off to reach the people directly with only one all-inclusive message, MAGA. They did the work and it paid off.
I was thinking about Bush/Clintons.
Maybe we didn’t want Hillary doing for women what Obama did for blacks.
We live in a rural area far from the collective crowds of the urban centers. Looking at the candidates from afar, it was not difficult to know who was going to to a better job.
It wasn't hard to pick, my wife told me. One was a leader and a winner, while the other was a lying, losing b*tch.
I know... I’m just teasing, sister.
With Donald Trump there may not be a dynasty (Donald Jr. hasn’t talked about being interested) but he’ll get a spiritual dynasty going, sufficient for the Lord’s purposes. Mike Pence seems to be the heir apparent to the GOP throne after Donald leaves the scene.
In Galatians, we are also reminded that “there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female.” What say you?
It’s a guy thang, sister.
Actually, like I pointed out, it’s possibly an error in another direction, though perhaps a mercifully arranged error. It’s the guys who do the wide visioned grunt work, the gals who feel out the little things of the day, and in staying bonded together manage to carve some kind of sanity out of the world.
Like God said. It is not good for man to be alone.
Those men who do end up alone sometimes evolve into Christ like figures. They can feel, but they become master over those situations too. For them to wish themselves into the lower position would be to give up an advantage.
I’d had ENOUGH damned CLINTONS - going WAY back all the way
to Arkansas. - On election day, I’d have walked barefoot
over rough gravel to get to the polls and vote TRUMP.
REAGAN was once asked if he would be OK with a female
President. He replied he would IF they were a conservative
Republican.

Here’s a somewhat humorous example (parody, but not unfeeling, on a scene from Star Wars). Notice how the sage Obi-Wan relates to Luke Skywalker — even the parodist was too reverent to lose the meaning.

I really hope that the libs and MSM never get “it”, are confused and dumbfounded by people who voted for Trump.
They will continue to believe that their message is too nuanced for the stupid, rural voter to understand.
Predictably they keep veering to the far left widening the divide and destroying the slightest chance to get their party back into power.
I say that when one omits a key part of the quote, it makes for the equivalent of fake news... you left out the part after the last comma in the quote:
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." It means that no matter who you are, or your religion, you are the same to God/Christ - beloved children; and we shouldn't forget that by identifying so strongly with anything else in our temporary earthly existence.
True... as the very best bible scholars always insist: context is king.
However, also this might be another guy/gal semi-misunderstanding. Women often hold contexts in their mind without making them explicit, and if she’s really off there in some relative world, she can sound like she’s gone mad. Men tend to understand explicit context better. Sometimes to the point of pushing it to another fault, such as requiring that an important theological principle be elucidated in exactly one scripture passage rather than by using multiple passages to shed light upon one another. Monomania has its own limitations.
True - but denying there are men and women kind of trashes God's strong views for marriage. On this earth, we are males and females - in the Bigger picture, we are His children.
My wife likes to say we are spiritual beings having a human experience - kind of helps keep things like the Galatians passage in context.
Like you said in your post just to me - context is king.
Depends on the context on which you are in, when it is said.
See what I mean.
But if you are not married, in which I am not, about husbands and wives would not fit my situation right now.
