Been there and done that! See... we don't even have that claim to ourselves.
Women have essentially invaded nearly every aspect of manhood. And it's not their fault... it's society. Our society turns the "Boys Club" into the "Boys & Girls Club". "Guss' Gym" has become the "Community Fitness Center". But down the street... we have "Ladies Premier Fitness"... and they've turned my application for membership down six times!!! LOL!
Here's something interesting... listen to the announcement of a women's retreat and the atmosphere gets all flighty and light. Ladies laughing and talking about the fun they are going to have. Mention a men's retreat... there is almost a tangible angst and groaning among the women. A heaviness to the atmosphere. And rest assured... the pastor cleared it with his wife to make sure he wasn't needed during that weekend. lol
Sometimes I think women dread a pastor standing up and truly informing the men as to what it truly means to be heads of their homes. And sadly... the authority only goes as far as... the Mrs. will allow it. No matter how you look at it... that's not headship. Western society has emasculated manhood and written laws that have shaped our society to the point wherein, to a man... the church is just another civic duty. A symbolic action. And after a while... it becomes far too taxing if you aren't getting any personal reward out of it. I know it sounds selfish... but let's face it. The church/leadership is there to serve the body. Not the body the leadership. What is the church/leadership given men that gives them true meaning and identity in the body and in their family???
