Mark Driscoll is just trying to make the primarily female church going audience feel good - notice how guys are the only ones he ever tells to improve their life
Many pastors sat that young women don't have to do anything but apparently be a daughter of Christ. They're beautiful and perfect and it's not their fault that anything bad happens in their life. God will bring them "a tall, dark, handsome, rich, intelligent man who's just like Christ"
They tell them Jesus should be their boyfriend until God "brings them the right man"
Do you see men calling Mary Madgalene their girlfriend? No... because its rightfully ridiculous. Christ shouldn't be reduced to being a "boyfriend" - He's the Savior of all mankind and allowed us to have a choice to live with God Almighty up in heaven if we repent and let Him work in our life.
On the other hand, young men apparently HAVE to have a high-paying job, move out of their parents house, look at all women 1000% purely whether they're Mother Theresa or Miley Cyrus, have short hair, no facial hair, a nice house and car - basically everything in order to be dating material. Where's such restrictions on Christian girls?
None of these pastors ever mention that women should have a job, an education, a house or car before they're marriage ready- girls naturally are perfect so no criticism there.
As a Christian, I am concerned that in the eyes of many church leaders, women apparently just have to sit and look pretty in order to be dating/marriage material, while men have to jump through a million hoops to even remotely be considered "first date" material
No job (applied to over 100 over last 2.5 years since I turned 16), no car, no money, 5'3.5", pale, socially awkward, introverted - very much one of those people who apparently has to "man up" according to the guy who flipped out over his wife getting her hair cut short as she's reached a certain age/motherhood (middle aged women tend not to have really long hair - same goes for a lot of moms)
Why should I have to jump through so many hoops when women get a free pass from Mark Driscoll?
Okay rant done...

abears, it's a very bad idea to give out ANY personal info on here!! Whether its kik, skype, email addy or phone number. What gets posted here in the forums AND in the chat rooms can be seen by millions of people throughout the world. You just gave your kik address to the entire world!! Please be more cautious, and if you do give out any more info, do it in a private message.
