Beautiful essay and pretty much follows scripture on the roles of men and women.
Of course the feminists howl at this sort of simple common sense and only see women being dominated when in fact, this model of male/female relations would guarantee women would be valued and loved and not seen as competitors and sex objects to be used and discarded by men.

Maybe the next generation will wake up to the fact that women can't 'have it all' and men need to once again see women as special, something neither sex seems to understand anymore, to their great loss.

This is truth. And I'm a woman - no feminist here. There is no job more important for a woman than to be a wife and especially a mother. When roles get mixed up then the family unit goes down the tubes, as we can see with our society. Just the same old lie in new packaging.

Amen, brother. And I have something else to add. Women have to start seeing themselves as special. All my friends talk about having sex with women whose names and faces they don't remember, or whom they don't want to see the next day. And they don't see anything wrong with it. Our culture is awash in the attitude that sex is as necessary as a bowel movement, and just about as romantic. Women who are putting themselves at risk of pregnancy and/or disease should be more discriminating about with whom they sleep.

A buddy of mine told me once, "One piece of ***** is just as good as another." How nihilistic is that? And a lot of my friends share similar attitudes. Incidently, he got his girlfriend pregnant soon after and ended up marrying her. This after cheating on her numerous times. My crystal ball foretells rocky times ahead for this couple.

The feminist movement and the liberal politicians, for all their talk of "sexual freedom" for women, have in fact made them sex slaves. In their drive to encourage women to enjoy sex with multiple partners in a transient manner, and remove the guilt associated with such behavior, they have actually made women see it as necessary to "put out" in order to get the attention of men they want to get to know better. There's a lot of competition out there, and who wants to be left out because they weren't competitive enough?

All this has coarsened and cheapened the covenant between men and women. I just hope it can be restored.

*whew* OK, now to climb down from the soapbox.

yeah, try talking about submission to a bunch of libs and feminazis! They tried to attack Promise Keepers at a roundtable here a few years back. A number of men who ARE promise keepers attended and a group of black brothers came in during that time and ended up being ministered to by a black promise keeper/pastor from Nigeria who was there. He started a discipleship group among these young men. There IS hope, even on a liberal campus.

Yep. And it works. (not a surprise, since it follows scripture :)
