I have also given some blunt advice in the Family Life section thatis from a feminine perspective. Sometimes guys do not have a clue. I mean no disrepect… There are things that men do not understand about being a woman in our society.
And I mean no disrespect, but there is no such monolithic thing as a “feminine perspective.” Women are individuals with varying perspectives on pretty much everything.
While true that some “guys” do not have a clue, there are also some “guys” that do have a clue.
And lumping all “men” into a category of beings that do not understand about “being a woman” leaves the impression that women in general – and you, in particular – understand clearly and completely what it means to “be a woman” in “our society.”
I would submit that NO woman adequately grasps what it means to “be a woman” in our largely dysfunctional society, although I do commend you for trying to salvage some view of what it might mean. Not having read any of your posts, I cannot comment on whether I agree with you or not.
However, I would refer you to John Calhoun’s “Behavioral Sink” as a pretty apt description of the dystopian state that our society currently finds itself in – with the caveat that the description applies almost exclusively to the situation in large cities, but is being spread infectiously through the media to the culture at large, which has been indoctrinated via the mass media into believing that the behavioural sink is actually some longed-for dawning of human utopia.
In fact, not a small number of Christians, even Catholics, appear to have the behavioral sink confused with the coming of the Kingdom, misinterpreting as they have the loss of roles in society – especially gender roles – as the realization of Paul’s words in Galatians 3, to the effect that there “… is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” As if abject confusion regarding what it means to be a human being is synonymous with heavenly bliss.
