1. The laws have to change....shake-down hypergamy, men lose it all laws.
2. The Proverbs 31 real woman vs. the boss girls and unrepentant sold out John Chapter 4 women.
3. As prophesied, “Remember Lot’s wife. “As in the Days of Lot”.
4. Know of, vs. “they knew not” Matt. 24. That’s the Hope.
4.: “Paroikos” Grk. Pilgrims, temporary residents. We’re looking up. We’re shining the Light.
I. Peter 2:11
Your point two, if I am not mistaken, accurately parses out not so much three categories as three overlapping circles in a ven diagram—
Proverbs 31 incorporates the ideal, the boss woman shares a good deal of the Proverbs 31 traits, particularly those valued by the economic/educational side of society, and the John 4 woman, who is much easier to co-exist with than the boss woman, but won’t challenge one to grow the way the Proverbs 31 woman will, and may eventually move on.
Unfortunately, Proverbs 31 women are scarce, as FarRockaway2 points out. Given that we are pretty well all fallen, even those that are mostly Proverbs 31 have flaws, and those with fairly few flaws are going to go like hotcakes, for the most part.
That said, I teach at a Catholic College which traditionally has a male/female imbalance, further exacerbated by over 10% of the men opting to pursue seminary for at least a time, and there are some Proverbs 31 women I am aware of—but I think that I know a very outsized number of them, as our College cultivates the Proverbs 31, while most (even Catholic) destroy them.
Girl-boss has blended with Proverbs31woman...they THINK they are Proverbs31, but they are actually GirlBoss. But because they THINK they are Proverbs31, they think they are entitled to the romance-novel-fantasy which is spiritualized: the Hallmark Channel romance movie is equal-to “God’s Best”.
And the preacher just preached she (proverbs31er) is going to get “God’s Best” if only she is Proverbs31! And she IS! She just-knows-it. Dad tells her she is! Preacher tells her she is! So? She KNOWS she is ENTITLED to “God’s Best”. And “God’s Best” is basically an average of a Bodice-Ripper, Jeremy Camp, wealth, MBA, skinny, drives expensive car, embodies all 95 of Focus on the Family’s Best Husband Traits, on and on. He drives a Lexus NOT a Toyota!
Will they admit any of this? Of course not. When pressed on this they will give all VERY spiritual answers about what a Godly man is. But when one bits them at coffee-after-church, they will ignore him because he has a Toyota, an average amount of fat, and is 3.6 years older than her absolute ideal “God’s Best” man is, that she saw in a dream!
And then they turn to their girlfriend and say “Well there just ISN’T anyone! But I’m holding out for GOD’s BEST anyway, so its fine. I will just enroll to be a board certified orthopedic surgeon in the meantime. Oh did you
see Joey? Yeah, he’s getting a technology degree. I just
don’t have any feelings for him. He’s a nice guy though.”
