This topic is related to another topic that questions why God would make rules that subjugate women. I can accept that there are rules in the Bible that subjugate women. What I don't agree with are the views and that says that all rules involving men being over women (or taking a lead role) are wrong. I question these views because there are some patriarchal standards that are good or that don't cause harm and/or the suppression of women.
When I've had this conversation in the past, I tend to find a lot of assumptions of how patriarchy should be (as if there's only one way to lead - the dictator way?) or I find a lot of double-standards. So let's debate!
Is patriarchy inherently wrong (meaning any or all forms are wrong)?

Post #61First, I didn't think this was a debate, merely a discussion. Second, my referrence was in the singular; "beholder"! And if I cannot offer a respectful comment on a religion such as Xtianity or Atheism, I'm obviously in the wrong place.
Your 'rules', of course, do not render what I said anything less than Truth. They do rather discourage intelligent and fruitful discourse!
Have fun...

Post #62All humans are under authority of some sort. That is the way God designed humanity.
