Men can treat women very badly. Before the Gulf War it was customary for Kuwaiti women to walk ten paces behind their husbands. However, if you go to Kuwait today you will find that it is the husbands who walk ten paces behind. This kind of treatment has led to bitterness among many women. Miss Ti-Grace Atkinson, a founding member of The Feminist and a former president of NOW claims that women understand her.
Marriage is legalized servitude.
The male-female relationship is the basis for all human oppression. Jesus becomes the pattern for us to look to, when we ask these questions. Jesus was the Perfect Man. We can look to Him for characteristics befitting a husband, befitting a man, because Jesus is our faultless example of maleness. Jesus is as tough as a special forces Marine, but as tender as velvet toward women.
