[Vision2020] what the Bible really teaches (was DouglasWilsononwomen)

[Michael]

Since I'm now an intolerista and a tax gatherer, I figured I'm now free to
talk about my church here. So here it goes:  I think Wilson makes an
interesting point in response to some criticism here over the woman fighter
pilot thing.  So I'd be curious to know what some of your responses to this
would be. There's something I agree with and something I don't, but I'll
keep it to myself for now. Wilson writes:

"Femininity is creational glory. But effeminacy in men is a grotesque parody
of this. Equally troubling is the attempt on the part of women to be
masculine. A few days ago I put up a post that revealed my view that
Scripture prohibits training women for combat (for those interested, I have
a detailed discussion on this in Federal Husband). Apparently, from what I
have heard, a local listserve went nuts for a time over this Calloused
Insensitivity on my part and, once again, I was a Bad Person. This is
because I am a Christian who believes that Scripture teaches that women were
not created by God to be warriors. If I were a Muslim who believed something
comparable and I made my wife wear a burka out to the mall, then I would be
praised by these same people for contributing to the rich diversity of our
small little town. And if I were a Christian again who pointed out this
discrepancy, then I would once again be a Bad Person. Since I can't win for
losing, then I will content myself with a chuckle."
