So since there seems to be a lot of discussion about traditional women, traditional men, etc. I wanted to put my two cents in, but in a completely different way.
Men hear women claim they are independent women and for some reason, from what I've seen, many cringe. Why, what do they think of when they hear that term? And what do women mean by being independent?
Women have a tendency to cringe when they hear the words "Women are to submit to their husbands?" Why, what do they think it means when a man says it? What do they think it means? And what do men really mean when they say submissive, as in, how do women show they are submissive?
And then, I bringing up the much hated terms Feminist, Feminism, FemiNazi, Male chauvinist pig. (Yes I just went there.) What do you think when you hear these terms?
And go.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I use the word Independent Woman, I use it as a woman who knows how to take care of herself and is not afraid to if life requires her too. Yet at the same time, she will also be willing to let her husband be the leader of her home. (Seoul would be a good example here.)
When I hear men use the words wives are to be submissive, quite often, it seems a lot of them mean that the woman will have no say whatsoever. And yet, to me, that term means the woman allows the man to have the final say, as he, in God's eyes, will bear the majority of responsibility in what happens to his family. It does not mean she does not have any say, it just means gives him the final decision.
To me, a feminist is one who strives to protect the rights that God gave to women. A feminazi, (Madeline O'Hare) however, takes it too far, in that they try to obtain rights that God did not give them, and quite often tries to suppress men because they are female chauvinist.
A male chauvinist. () is a man who tries to suppress women for what ever reason. Often, it's because they believe they are superior to women and therefore should have the man given right to say what a woman can or cannot do. (Fortunately, I don't see many men on CC that are like this. Actually, I don't really recall any on here that are like this, although I suppose they could be here.)
A traditional marriage, to me, is one where the wife stays home and takes care of the home, while the husband works. She may bring in additional income, but the husband is the main bread winner.
A modern day marriage is one where the husband and wife both work outside the home and equally share in the household chores and maintenance. Either may be the main bread winner, or contribute equally.
For me, personally, I don't have a problem with either types of marriages, just as long as the couple still follow the Biblical roles that God has set apart for each gender.
