My Struggle,
You are an exfoliant (I looked on your profile)? What is that?
Puting women in their place has nothing to do with not respecting their opinion. That said, a child does not have the right to go out on the town, especialy women. They get taken advantage of, and they make mistakes that can affect the rest of their lives. They will get over the anger of not getting to go out. I read about a Mexican girl who had to bring her little brother along when she went on dates. She didn’t like it but she respected it.
They do have a place, and that is with children as Carlos said. Is this the kind of Christian oppression of women you are talking about Liberal and others? If so, then your analogy is complely bogus, and shouldn’t even be discussed further because your bias is blinding you.
This is not oppression it is how Carlos wants his family structured. You have no right to tell him that is opression. His marriage will likely work, because both he and his wife knew their roles going into it, and were happy with it. It is only* liberated * white america and Europe that have no clue what their roles are, and what marriage is even all about that are having all the problems. My mom job shares. That is, she holds a high position as an accountant, but splits the paychecks and the time 50-50. She and her work partner got to work, and raise their families properly. You never hear about this option. Why? Because the feminist movement has gone so far from the average woman in our country.
You see, there has to be a compromise somewhere or we are commiting social suicide.
My neighbor’s mom went the other route. She’s an ultra powerful executive for the government. She’s got respect, power, money. She’s got it all. But her marriage went down the drains. Her kids has no spiritual side, and are pretty selfish.
Men have a place with children too, but to everything there is a time. A man’s time with his children is after a long-day’s work.
If a woman does not want to have more than a few children, then it is the man’s responsibility to respect that, and have sex accordingly. Natural family planning does work. So does abstinence.
If she doesn’t want to be pregnant, they need to try and adopt (adoption isn’t always a sure thing, they sometimes refuse parents).
