Isn't This Special

bookcover.jpgI got a good laugh today when I read saw this blog post on Ochuk's blog. The pictures remind me of feminine hygiene commercials. The comments are even better the pictures. Why are so many woman sucked into this stuff? I know that it not just in the marketing world because I often find woman's websites to be just as gaggy.

The internet monk, Michael Spencer, has some good comments on the role that woman end up with in the evangelical world. He correctly points out that most evangelical discussion seems to be by men and for men. There seems to be little consideration for the fact that woman may be significant contributers as well and not afraid of tackling difficult topics. I’ve thought of using a gender neutral pseudonym when making blog posts on my favorite blogs so that I might be taken more seriously. I definitely have seen that there are different interests between men and woman but they are complimentary and necessary. There are serious woman and serious men just as there are flaky woman and there are flaky men. We might pick different serious topics to discuss or maybe we won’t. We also don’t all cry at the first sign of conflict. Some of us thrive on it. This is definitely something that should be mulled over more.

Are you trying to tell me that I, as a woman, can get be a Christian without wearing flowing dresses, picking daisies and drinking tea? Is that biblical?
