Womanhood

This is always sad to me because our womanhood is what makes us special. Men used to stand when a woman walked in the room because they were seen as special. If a man was sitting he would offer his chair if there were no others, or go and get her a chair. This was an honor, but now that women have stepped out of their role the men no longer think of them as worthy of honor.

The weaker vessel does not mean they are mentally weak. It meant that their skillset was different from the men. And by the way, the men could not do nor wanted to do what the women were capable of doing. Women were never "less than", they were skilled within their gender role.

Women were treated special and important for the most part, men would even refrain from cursing in front of a woman to spare their delicate feelings, as it was right to do. Now both genders are crass and there is little sense of protecting the woman.

I have experienced men raging at women for differing from them on an issue. Instead of treating them with respect they mocked, demeaned, and raged at any woman who was bold enough to say what she thought. This is the height of arrogance and disrespect.

We see now that the end times are here and the 2 Timothy 3 generation is in full swing, however, believing men do not have to be this way. Those who are born again remain respectful and kind to women. Sadly there are so few of these kinds of men left.

So what is a woman's response to this ill-treatment? My advice is to walk in the Holy Spirit, continue to be led by the Spirit when you speak and ignore the foolishness of crass undisciplined men. Remember they are not worthy of our attention. Ignoring men who act like this is the best course of action.

Proverbs 29:11

"A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back."

Proverbs 29:9

"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet."

Proverbs 12:15-17 "…15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel. 16A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. 17 He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.…"

The following was written by Sarah Vogel
“Our generation is so busy trying to prove that women can do everything men can do, women are losing the unique qualities that set us apart. The God-given femininity & unique way our Creator designed us. Women weren't created to do everything a man can do.... Women were created to do everything a man can't do." - unknown

The lioness does not try to be the lion. She embraces her role as the lioness. She is powerful, strong, and nurturing. She does not mistake her meekness for weakness. The world needs more kind, compassionate, humble, faithful, persevering, confident, fierce, bold, pure, and tender-hearted women.
Be one of them. ~Sarah Vogel
