The churches were against women working. They all taught that women belonged in the home rearing their children. But evolution goes on, not only in animals, but in society as well.
The churches lost their fight and society won. It won because taxes increased, and the race to give children a greater way of life, not to mention a car in every garage. And so women left the home to go to work without sufficient preparation and experience.
That event changed the world we live in, and in a very dynamic way. Where and how did women really belong and fit in the work place and in society? Now it had to play “catch up”.
It is and was a major adjustment for everyone. And we are still trying to figure it all out, but it is difficult for people to change.
IMO many of the problems are linked to the first fight of the churches against working women.
In summary, when women exchanged their dresses for pants, our society was in trouble.
I’m not blaming the women, but the changes in our society that brought that about.
I believe this is the reason, the time of adjustment, has cause warped ideas about the relationship of men and women. In some cases, to the extreme. In other cases, over done, or
under done. Unfortunately it has changed our affection for one another which underlies our understanding and consideration for one another. There are no perfect solutions just as there are no perfect people. But there are those who do care, and that is what it will take for it to work, that is, christians who will contribute.
Just some thoughts.
