Youre hitting on a subject Ive always been interested in. Once, it was possible for one member of a married couple to keep the home and care for the kids, on the other members salary. And now, both of the couple are working full time, the house goes empty and neglected, and the kids are raised by day cares and nannies who dont speak English or even very good Spanish. And they call this progression?
What about churches and synagogues? Once, there was mostly male leadership in houses of worship. Then women started taking over, and the men dont feel useful nor welcome. Its kind of creepy to me how feminine the leadership is at reform or other liberal synagogues. Even though I am a woman, I dont like it. Its not a Womens Convention where men can sit in the back. Its phony now.

Many churches had to start having women in leadership roles because there were more women congregants than men, or the men refused to serve. If there’s a qualified man who is willing to serve, that’s optimal, but churches are filled with wives whose husbands would rather go hunting or watch tv, than go to church. Same thing in the home. Nothing is more frustrating to a Christian wife, than a husband who refuses to be the spiritual head of the household. SOMEBODY has to lead, and if the man won’t, the woman has to step up.
