Should man rule over women for women’s own good?

[Losty]

Everyone should do that(to an extent). Not just men.

And in your duty to family, did she teach to put yourself ahead of your family or did she teach you to put them ahead of yourself.

DL,
Your reasoning is very superficial. What is the prescribed course of action if more than one family is involved? Do I take more seriously the Law of the Sea and let another man's wife and children take a place? Or, do I give precedence to your familial duty maxim and toss the other man's brats overboard to ensure I can continue to provide for mine?

I was asking what your questions (Are the women and men you work with paid the same for equal work? Does that make them inferior to men?) have to do with Biblical Christianity.

What does "biblical christianity" have to do with anything?

Nothing.

No argument but mothers are the best as they do most of the child rearing.

The fathers become more important to the children, especially males in terms of role model, later on.

How men can have that special bond with daughters while still not working to give equality to their mothers and wives I will never know.

If you want your duty protected then you are duty bound to protect the duty of the other. That is why the captain has a gun. To enforce duty.

In our countries, the religious are the vast majority. If women do not presently have full equality it is primarily because of so called religious men. Religious men who have forgotten their duty to family.

Neither.

So, not only does the Law of the Sea have precedence to your notion of duty but there is no room for exception as there is a man with a gun standing by to assure adherence. Nice system of ethics you've got brewing there.

I personally prefer the woman on top.

They wouldn't have to abandon their 'subordinate role' to leave an abusive situation, and they should leave it.

Except that under the sanctions the bible places on women, they generally can't: divorce is a no-no, after all. Typically a woman is more akin to property in their biblical role than people, though I can't wait for you to dismiss that observation out of hand as being not a correct interpretation, while you make no effort at all to demonstrate why yours is the right one.

You've also assumed that a subordinate role necessitates an abusive situation. It doesn't.

Necessitates? No. But it does leave the door wide open to abuse and give very little recourse should it start happening. Which is the problem. Something doesn't have to be the exclusive cause of a problem for it to exacerbate it.

And there are scriptures in place forbidding a husband to abuse his wife.

Do you think all abuse is physical?

The bible is remarkably silent on mental and cultural abuse, after all.

Who said anything about physiology? The explanation is about the creator and the created order.

And then attached that order to physiology. Don't play games here, we both know that gender as the bible describes it is a physiological condition. You can shop off the responsibility for that all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that under a biblical system if you possess a penis you're given a level of assumed power over women.

What you just said is a transparent dodge that doesn't address the issue I was raising at all.

Most women are at about 70% of what men make.

That is wrong.

Just as an aside, do you understand how utterly insipid this "nuh uh!" answer is?
