That is not at all what I assumed or said. Please read all of my posts on this matter, if you want to understand my point.
 
Joh 8:3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst
Joh 8:4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
Joh 8:5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?”
Joh 8:6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
Joh 8:7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
Joh 8:8 And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
Joh 8:9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
Joh 8:10 Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
Joh 8:11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again.”

How do you explain the attention from Jesus concerning lust in men for women, and no mention of the modern view, of “we’re all equal in lust”?

Jesus was speaking to a male audience at that moment, therefore he would talk about them.
 
It sounds to me that you’ve really bought into the modernist sense of “we’re all the same”. We are not. Mothers are not the same as fathers, by God’s design. We are made for “reciprocal complementarity” - not “the same” - “complementary”. The differences are designed to be blessings for both men and women. “We’re all the same” is an argument that supports the "two mommies is just as good for the child as the ‘old-fashioned’ mommie-daddy arrangement. Did you really believe that lie? Please tell me you do not.

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes: strawman fallacy

I don’t think we are all the same. Men and women have essential differences based on their nature as God created them.

You are just very wrong in your thinking that women aren’t as lustful as men.

Women get treated for sex addiction, start affairs, have wandering eyes, grabby hands. Women sexually harass men (and I bet they usually get by with it, though I feel that’s finally changing, as it should) just like men do the reverse.

She’s not saying women and men are the same. She’s saying women lust just as intently as men - though it might manifest itself differently. Women generally don’t surf porn because we’re not wired to be visual as men are - but that’s why so-called bodice rippers exist: women are more emotionally wired, and are generally more “attracted” to the written over the visual.
 
To follow up what you said, and I don’t remember the source of this quote, but it’s very applicable: “Men lust with their eyes. Women lust with their hearts.”
 
I think those are cute, but I think they make me look ridiculous. I wish I could wear them.

Yes! Exactly! And there’s a reason that quote exists. 🙂

So true. Whether it is with your eyes or your heart it is still a sin.
 
I sew, but I’m not confident enough to make dresses for anyone other than myself. Dresses are actually fairly easy to make if they aren’t structured.
 
This took your wife years, I know, but she has done well.

😆😆😆😉😉😉

I’m only 13 years in with my husband… 😔

Eighteen here. But I started 20 years ago when I met him.

I really can’t offer you much hope, I’m afraid.
 
I’m married to a Brit.

It was air con that eluded him (and he’s likely the smartest person I know) and clothing dryers, as well as central heat. The first few years in the States were a struggle. 😉
 
Sometimes he’ll say “are you hot? I’m going to turn the air up” and I laugh and remind him of how he once said he hated A/C and that he couldn’t see the point.

THEN he moved to the American South. 😆😆😆😆 When we lived in Texas and it was 110F he had little to say about the drawbacks of A/C.

It took me five years to convince him that the central air/heat in our first house really did need replacing (it was a 15 year old builder grade system - the unit was literally the size of a small car - and in all fairness on its last legs). He thought a $400 electric bill in the summer and the dead of winter (with a $300 gas bill on top of it!) would be normal with central air!
