This article is just an example of how someone, even a regarded sports
hero, can get into allot of trouble for stereotyping women.
I'm posting this as a warning to our church, where, sayings like this one, to my shame, are frequently made.
Just like racism, sexism is wrong and should be something we should fight against. Like any other sin.
If we look at Jesus, we never hear him speaking down, discriminating, or stereotyping women. Quite on the contrary.
And in churches where it is taught that men should be the leaders in their homes and communities, we should be leaders in this area as well, treating women as our equals and with greater respect than one would find anywhere else. Raising women up, rather than putting them down. I think girls have enough of that in the world. May they not find more of it when they come to church - seeking refuge from a world full of David Campeses. Or Chris Browns.
Which brings my to my next article:
