Focus on How You Treat Others, Not How Others Treat You

What are your thoughts on the bright lights movement of sorts? To me, I see a group teaching young girls to be above man and disrespecting them. I do believe that we should teach young minds to have self respect and to make wise decisions. However, to teach that one sex is above the other or that God has lead them to only interact with the opposite sex in certain ways, can lead someone to believe or feel that they have been discriminated against. To me, I don’t feel that this is of God. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. 

Thank you,
-Todd

We have no idea what you’re talking about, Todd, regarding “the bright lights movement.” But rather than focus on how you’re treated by others, look instead to yourself and how you treat people. The former you can’t change, but the latter is your responsibility before God.

“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to do justice and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8 MKJV)

As for one sex compared to the other, God made man and woman different. Here’s what the Scriptures say:

1 Timothy 2:11-15 ESV
(11)  Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.
(12)  I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
(13)  For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
(14)  and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
(15)  Yet she will be saved through childbearing–if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

“Husbands, likewise, live together according to knowledge as with a weaker vessel, with the wife, showing her honor as also a fellow heir of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:7 EMTV).

The Word of God is a better and surer guide than your feelings.

Read the comments here on the review of her book.

I have heard other young men say that this is the worse thing to ever happen, as this book has changed young women to believe they are perfect and of royalty. And that the only man worthy of them is Jesus himself.
