I've been thinking a lot lately about the nature of women, and how women are different than men, and why those differences might matter. And don't have any conclusions to share, mostly because I haven't reached much of any. What I did want to share were some questions that I have been pondering, none of which I have answered completely, but have enjoyed thinking on.
What does it mean to be a woman?
How is a woman different than a man?
How is a male spirit different from a female spirit?
Why does a woman need a man?
And why does a man need a woman?
Are there mental, spiritual, or emotional characteristics that are unique to women?
How are those differences valuable?
These are difficult questions to answer, I think they are the kind that I could study for the entirety of my life and never fully answer. Sometimes it feels like the world is trying to wash away the lines between men and women, and make them about nothing more than a uterus. I believe there is much more than that, but it's becoming a more difficult conversation to have.
I would love love love any thoughts or discussion on these questions, or other questions that these prompt you to.
