Is patriarchy inherently wrong?

Post #1

Post by AgnosticBoy »

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)?

Please debate without commenting on groups of people.

Please review the Rules.

First, 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...

All humans are under authority of some sort. That is the way God designed humanity. Fighting proper rules of order is unwise.
