Welcome Muser! I hadn’t thought about linking this to women and vocation. Thank you for the idea. And thank you for all your comments.

Thank you Tami, Abby, and Lainie. Tami, I think your zit metaphor is very apt.

I hate what comps are doing the doctrine of the trinity just to back up their screwy view of women. I guess keeping women in their place is more important than creating blasphemy.

Yes, nothing irritates me more than the women who have made a career of bashing “career women”.

Great post, Shawna!

I saw the picture in this post in an article from the Guardian about three women who run their households in different time periods. The dressing up part wasn’t creepy (I’d wear Dior’s “New Look” every day if I could) but the ideas you’ve highlighted.

If women are really “equal as humans,” they should be allowed to express their Godly vocational calling in every way. Saying that women have different “roles” solely based on their gender is just a way of stripping 50% of the population of it’s individuality and blaming biology for a societal structure that’s all about power. Especially in a capitalist society!

What a great post, Shawna. There seems to be such a groundswelling of ideas I had thought ended millenia ago: the make up and function of the trinity, whether or not women are made in the image of God and so on.

It might seem like a crass example, but it makes me think of a zit that’s about to pop. When it does it’s messy and pretty painful, but then healing can happen. Someday, I am sure, people will look back to this time and shake their heads and wonder how some of these things could have happened. Sort of like we do now regarding slavery.
