Feminism


I will start this off by quoting scripture in the New International Version (©1984) it states,So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” So the Bible states that male and female are equal, but at the same time they have different characteristics. For example men are generally stronger and are known as the protector and usually the provider. On the other hand females are usually more nurturing. So while remaining equal men and women are called to do different things. Because men are generally more fit they are better suited for the military, or becoming a firefighter/police officer. Because more men are better at these kinds of jobs does not mean that women aren’t equal but it means that their talents aren’t geared toward other things. God has called woman to raise their children and nurture them. I believe women can also have jobs as long as they are still raising their kids like God wants them to. The ERA would make both genders equal in every way. Because of this females would be able to enlist and serve in the front lines. I don’t believe women were called to do tasks like this but in other jobs if the woman is more qualified and does a better job then she deserves to have the job. But for a woman to get a job just based on her gender alone is ridiculous.
