Odrade......with all due respect...... not all of we 'men' that leave feel this way. I did NOT feel this way while I was an elder......which is why so many sisters came to me.
I confess: I'm completely naive and DENSE to this line of thinking by men. I grew up with a single mother......I love and respect women a great deal......which is one of my gross weaknesses......I love women.
In the end, maybe I'm the wrong person to comment on this......because I never treat women poorly, frankly, I adore them......so I guess I'm just completely 'stupid' to how women are treated by man........
