WOMEN ARE BULLIES

For years I’ve watched commercials and the entertainment industry portray men as stupid, helpless and feeble. Can you think of even one commercial where the man saves the day? Mr. Clean doesn’t count. How do single mothers raising boys expect their sons to grow up strong and competent when advertisers consistently cast men as immature and stupid? If young boys are to believe television, they might as well quit school now, because they will never be capable of more than flipping burgers. It’s getting more and more difficult for me to shop because not only do I refuse to watch male bashing programs, but I boycott their sponsors too.

In my opinion, men are not represented fairly. My husband is a man and his example taught our son to be the same kind of man.

Someone should tell women that gaining their rights doesn’t mean taking rights away from men. Laws and the educational system favor women over men. In fact women have options men don’t have. Markets cater to women because we make the largest purchasing decisions. It’s even easier for women to get loans.

Ridiculing and disgracing anyone is wrong. Our words reflect what is in our hearts. Yet commercials (many written and directed by women), tear men down and men dare not defend themselves. Do any of these women have sons? We teach to girls. We prefer girls. Girl power this. Girl power that. While boys get nothing but insults. Men and boys are taking it right on the chin . Did you know that fewer and fewer men are graduating from high school with honors and even fewer are graduating from college? I know women who treat their pets better than they treat their husbands.

Women are capable and deserving of professional jobs and I’m glad we’ve achieved this. But who are all these smart women going to marry? Are feminists forcing women into the position of breadwinner when they’d rather raise their children because they say that raising children and taking care of the home is dirty work? Yet men are now expected to raise the children and take care of the home. Where is the respect in that attitude?

Women use sex to get their way. No surprise in that. But when chickified men give spiritual and financial decisions over to their wives in hopes of getting a little action we are in defiance of God’s plan for the family. God’s plan gives us a partnership and freedom. Yet women want to lead. OK, but leading has nothing to do with rubbing a man’s face in his mistakes or losses so that a woman can say she is “better”.

According to Genesis, it used to be UN-natural for women to want to be better than men. But something changed when Eve disobeyed God. Adam disobeyed God too, but for different reasons. 1Timothy 2:14 says Adam was NOT deceived. You see, Eve wanted the knowledge of good and evil. Adam wanted to be with Eve and he knew they would be separated if he didn’t eat from the fruit too. The serpent told Eve that knowledge is power (Genesis 3:6). One could say she knowingly ate the fruit to have power over Adam. So why did she offer it to Adam? That’s a bit harder to explain but I’ll try. When I was young, my friend and I got hold of a cigarette lighter and nearly set the backyard on fire. When I got caught, all I could say was, “she did it too”. Somehow knowing I wasn’t the only one who was bad made me feel better.

Perhaps Eve ALSO knew that she would be separated from Adam. When God found them hiding naked in the garden He cursed Eve with pain in childbirth and gave her an unnatural desire to rule over her husband. (Genesis 3:16) A feminist might want to know why ruling over her husband would be a curse. I’ll answer that by asking how she feels now that she has her way and makes all household and family decisions? I would say that women are overwhelmed with the stresses of responsibility and they resent that their spouse isn’t more involved.

God created us equal and free, but not the same. He gave women strengths to complement our husbands. And God assigned to men the role as head of the family, equipping him with strengths to ease his wife’s burden. In my opinion, Eve blew it for all of us.

The feminist might say women LIKE making all the decisions and that it’s liberating. If that’s true, then why don’t they take the blame when something goes wrong? Why are women still blaming men (and Walmart) for all of their problems, trials and failures?

My theory is that the easy sex hook-up culture breeds resentment against men.
