Peace To All,
I have been in a lot of dialogue with brothers on how powerful the woman is, how she is a god within herself. How she is equal to the man and she should never see herself as in a subservient position to man.
Well at the end of the dialogues I interject every time --- well if all you stated is true about the woman, then why is it expected for her to cook, wash dishes, clean the house, iron mans clothing, tend to the children, etc. etc. you all know what I'm saying... domesticate her.
It is pretty much all the same reply --- that is what women are suppose to do in being man's helpmate. I have even heard it shared with me and other women that blame Eve, for if Eve had not tempted Adam to eat the apple than she would not be in the domesticated situation.
I do not feed into that thinking at all --- however maybe I am taking it personal. Mind you I delight in being able to assist the Blackman in his development to god, however not if it is with a hint of or it is outright male chauvinism.
I welcome all feedback, thank you in advance.
BTW, I think if Adam was handling his business a snake or anything/body else would not have been able to tempt Eve and she went alone with it!!!!!!!!!!
