>No, you may not conclude that. Women are to be put on a pedestal - treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Just as it pertains to leadership in the home and the church, men are required to fulfill that role. As I've stated (many times) before, this does not mean women are less valuable than men or that women are to be treated as though they are worthless.

If I was put on a pedestal and restrained from taking part in decision making, I'd be seriously PO'd, no matter how appreciated that was supposed to make me feel. Specially if I wasn't asked whether that's what I wanted, but rather assumed and didn't bother to check. Boy, I'd feel like a moron - and that's why I don't feel like doing that, and that's why I don't understand women who accept that.
But that's me. There's a lot of stuff that won't fit between my ears, so I'd agree to drop this, we didn't get far just like we didn't the last time.
Doug should know better than to yank my chain. He's like a guy who throws a bottle in at random and then watches the barroom brawl from outside.
