This will come as a great shock to many: There is a difference between men and women. An even greater shock is that it was intended that way! The masculine qualities of reasoning, questioning, providing, and protecting are different from the feminine qualities of loving, nurturing, feeling, and communicating. A man will reflect the masculine qualities primarily and a woman will reflect the feminine qualities primarily, but individuals will vary depending upon their prior lifetime sexual orientation and evolvement. For instance, a person that has been a man for several lifetimes will likely show stronger masculine qualities than a man who was a female in the last lifetime.
Since the beginning of time the relationship between male and female has not been clear. Men were resentful of women serving in usual male occupations. My grandmother, back in the 1920’s was smoking cigarettes and selling insurance, two things that women back then weren’t supposed to do. Many men resented her. During World War II women took over many jobs that men had been performing so the men could serve in a military capacity. Then came the feminists and lesbians that held that women were better than men and should be entitled to all the jobs and benefits that men had and then some. This pressure from feminists and lesbians produced the attitude in the general population of the U.S. that unless a woman was striving to get a college degree and then eventually run a company she was not serving herself or humanity properly.
During this process the most important and most honorable career for women, that of mother, wife and homemaker, fell in disrepute. Women were told that to serve thusly was beneath them and they should aim higher. As a consequence, the family structure in the U.S. suffered. There were many separations and divorces. Families were then without the father figure and women were trying to fill the role of both father and mother. Also, where the family stayed together, with the rising cost of living, it became necessary for both parents to be employed to maintain the lifestyle they desired. In either case the mother role suffered or disappeared and many children were now out on their own without either a father or mother. Many are still seeking mother.
In our current lifetimes we should accept the role we have been given. If we are a male, we should be the provider and protector. If we are female, we should rejoice in being the mother, wife, homemaker and supporter of the husband. Woman has been given mother love for a purpose. The mother’s love is quite different from the father’s love. Mother love accepts and forgives any misdeed by the child. The mother’s love is most nearly like the love God has for us.
Men must realize that the woman is equal to the man in every respect. Work in harmony and unison with the opposite sex. For too long we have been encouraged to live in opposition. The attitude that men are superior and the attitude that women are superior, are both wrong and should be discarded. Men and women are meant to be team and let their qualities compliment each other. Though their roles are different, they are equal in importance. Enjoy your role in this lifetime; next lifetime it will be different.
