"A woman psychologist wrote: ?Basically, women feel while men think.? "

A) Why should I read a book that can't even properly quote a source.

B) How did that woman ever find time to leave her kitchen and get a degree?

By the way, does anyone know of any really, really, REALLY militant feminist groups?

"Basically, women like to work under a ceiling of authority, provided that it is exercised properly.

I agree"

I am a leader. My mother is a strong woman, my sister, my female friends...we don't LIKE to work under authority...that is SUCH BS!

The strongest feeling I remember having about my JW ex-husband is that he couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag. "His Headship" was completely incompetent, and his thinking would have driven us straight to the poor house without my intervention.

"A woman psychologist wrote: ?Basically, women feel while men think.?

LOLOL. Yeah, women are all emotion-bags while guys have all of the brains. Unbelievable.

Until recently, I was working at a pharmaceutical company. I'd say that the men/women ratio was right about 50/50. And these are the people curing cancer, etc.

The WT gives women no credit whatsoever.

"I wouldn't want to get home to a nagging wife. "

Dorkycrass, since you will not refute the obvious sexism in the organization...so be it. It is quite telling from your comments that you enjoy, or maybe even get off from a system that puts you in a position of authority and teaches superiority over half the people you come in contact with. I assume you would like that sort of power. The society perpetuates stereotypes, and you take it all in.

Basically, women like to work under a ceiling of authority,

Well what do all you women think about this comment? These guys must be living in the 19th century.

"Also, some wives complain that their husbands are domineering. Perhaps this has resulted from the wife?s attempts to usurp his headship, with his resisting such usurpation"

.....Meaning, if your husband is abusive, then it means you're not being a good enough wife.

What national news program did we hear that on before?

Headship is God's arrangement, I subject to that.

Headship is God's arrangement, I subject to that.

I'm not so sure about it being god's arrangement, but I do know that women are naturally drawn to a confident man who knows where he's going and what he's doing. There is a thin line between being a leader, and being a controller. Both easily fit under the category of "Headship".
