They do have pretty different attitudes about gender and gender differences, some of them unhealthy, from my view. If we lose the difference between men and women in marriage, and what roles they play, that becomes even more of an argument for same sex marriage, in a sense. <br />My issues with how men treat women dismissively in conservative churches is on a different tact, though. Of course, a lot of women in the church don't have husbands who go with them or husbands at all, so in that absence they really don't have a hedge of protection from the dismissive attitudes; I don't think a good husband would tolerate it. But this is just my limited observation and opinion. In reality, I went to a meeting at my church and something happened that got me on that tack, because it reminded of times in the past. I used to work for a fundamentalist college, and even in the academic environment the women were sort of second class. But again, this is just me.Barbara G.

I think too much. Just a thought... Men and women are "other" than each other, but the millenials want to ignore the 'otherness' and foucus on sameness. In the end it will hurt their ability to complement one another. (spoken as a true marriage counselor!)drgregbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018643621015748573noreply@blogger.com
