So as you all know I came out as Agnostic a few weeks ago and I have found a safe haven on a Facebook group where I can't be judged and have support. Sometimes the Admin will post scripture from the Bible that are just demeaning to women and so on...
One of them was a verse from 1 Timothy 2:11-12 A Woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man: she must be quiet.
This is seriously one of the reason why I chose who I am; I am such a feminist and that last thing I need is a man telling me how to do things and that I have to obey him. I am my own person! I am not a mans slave. I am strongly a believer in equality among genders. The funny thing is I see myself teaching other men how to do things. Chris hardly knew what to do when we had our daughter; it felt nice to be teaching someone something that I had knowledge of because I've been there with my first born. I love being able to teach others something new; the last thing I want is being told by a book that I shouldn't be teaching others and that I should submit to a man. At my new job, yes, I had men show me how to do things but you know what I didn't have to be quiet; I got to put my input in or ask questions.
Rant Over.
