One of the Bible verses that sticks out in my mind is I Peter 3:7: “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.”
Clearly that Bible verse teaches that women are weaker than men. Now we can tell that by in large women tend to be physically weaker than men. I don’t think I am going to get much argument on this point.
But is that all this passage is teaching? Men are supposed to care for their wives because they are weaker.
I wonder if that extends to other areas too. I just posted an article from a study done in the U.K. The study found that women tend to not be very sympathetic to men when they are sick. Here is the link: Link Any man can tell you that this is the case. Men are presented as soft whenever they are sick. According to the research, men were more likely to take care of their wives when they were sick.
I remember when my dad broke his foot in three places. He never missed a day of work. He just kept going. You just don’t tend to see a woman respond the same way.
All we ever hear is how much tougher women are because they have babies and they have to experience a monthly cycle. If it was men having those babies, I guarantee there would not be six weeks off after the baby. Men would be back to work the next day.
Do you think God created women weaker than men?
