I think I’d rather babysit kids than eat pecan pie 😅 (if that’s telling lol)
Theoretically, I do, too, but then you meet them and they’re all sticky and whiny, and crying about this and that 😅
I love babies too, but watching my little sisters can be a nightmare. (they're not babies, in case you were wondering. They're elementary age)
I’m generalizing, but I think most men don’t like kids until they become a father.
(That is SO true…you should see my dad with little kids…he ADORES them…I don’t think he was that way when he was younger before being a dad…🤣)
Zeus was right. Another reason women are bad for us 😞
(I’m SO kidding 😂)
But in one of the Greek myths Zeus says he’s going to curse mankind and so invents women 😅 somewhere in Hesiod’s Theogony I think

(I was wrong. It’s in The Works and Days. Zeus says (of the first woman), “I shall give them in payment for fire an evil which all shall take to their hearts with delight, an evil to love and embrace.”)
Yeah, when you study the classics you encounter a lot of misogyny. Like, Aristotle thought women were ‘defective men.’ I kid you not. That was his explanation for why some are born men and some are born women 😅)
Another reason Romans didn’t like Christianity was b/c men and women were made equals.

I know what passage of Scripture you’re alluding to. Those guys forget in that chapter Paul says (in reference to husband and wives) to “submit TO EACH OTHER out of reverence for Christ”
Like, it was considered socially okay (by the Romans) for husbands to cheat on their wives, but it was ‘infidelity’ if a woman did so. Early Christian bishops, like Ambrose taught that it’s wrong for both men and women to have extra-marital affairs. Romans didn’t like that 😅
In a sense women are supposed to be. HERE ME OUT. Obviously it’s not ok to suppress us but men and women have distinct roles. The way God designed a household is the man is the head. Now a good man will seek council from his wife before he makes a decision (it’s in the Bible) but ultimately it’s his call to make the decision. If he is wise he’ll council with his wife and hear her out and consider his words. Men are supposed to lead women are not. But a wise man will seek council from us. A not wise man will abuse that power and use it to control and overrule.Please don’t get mad or offended by this I’m just going by the Bible
(We can lead other women but something like a congregation or the country? Do you really think that’s smart? We often let our emotions get in the way or control us. Personally I don’t want an another woman to lead me with that kind of power (a small group for women or something like that is a different matter). I wouldn’t trust it. Also, the Bible says men are supposed to lead women should not.
FT: The M and I have pretty much complete opposites viewpoints, but I still think she’s an amazing and funny person 😊
The M (GOD PROTECT ISRAEL 🇮🇱) wrote: "Aw thanks Loki! I think you’re great too! 😁"(umm... how to respnd to that... my mind has gone blank)
I still have to side with Bella on this matter though :)
