I don’t think that ‘hard’ has anything to do with this. It’s not sexist, and yeah, immodesty is about how you dress. Girls shouldn’t wear clothes to show their bodies off so that guys will like them- or for any other reason. I don’t find a problem with anything here, and I really don’t think that it is a bad thing to be “gentle in spirit” or serving. We are supposed to serve, guys are included. This stuff is from the bible, and the bible DOES NOT LIE. I know from experience that if you dismiss any part of the bible, you start to dismiss all of it! That’s not a mistake we can afford to make. ~

i dont think its right that a girl could be called “imodest” because of how she dresses yes i do agree on a limit but a little cleavage never hurt anyone

Hi Alex and Brett. I have three sisters and no brothers, and I have to say that I don’t think that girls should have to compete for equality with boys, because we are no better than them, we are simply different. Just my opinion on the matter. But it’s a twelve-year-old guy’s opinion, soo……..

Thanks Callan, that does help. I also hope that God is helping you too.

I am a Christian, and fully agree with the principles of modesty and womanly roles. I do, however, disagree with some of the commentators who maintain that women are to be subservient because they were ‘created second.’ A friend tried to use that with me recently, too, and I looked at him and asked; ‘So, since the animals were created before man, does that make men submissive to them?”
Actually, if you look at the pattern of the Creation, you will see a succession of complexity, beginning with the less complex/developed creatures, and ending with the creation of humans which are the most intricate and complex creations of all. Note that in this succession, women come in last. Think about that for a minute.
There are Scriptures that outline the role of woman in relation to men, particularly in the New Testament. It would be far better to use those Scriptures to defend the Christian woman’s role than an arbitrary theory arising out of Creation that is contradictory to man’s superiority over animals.

I can really feel for your friend, it is really difficult to be in this postion. My own situation with my dad has already affected how I look at guys and it caused me to become a self proclamed feminist when I was younger (I still have some views that some would call feminist). It has taken me a long time to put my views under the authority of the bible and to change my heart. But in my opinion, the best thing for a guy in your position, as her friend, is to first pray that God will change her fathers heart and that her heart will be protected from the lies of modern day feminism, and then simply be a good example of what a godly man is. I didnt have a good example to see up close until I was about 14 and it would have helped me so much if I had had it sooner. Hope this helps.

That was really nice but………..I was hoping for more. I noticed under the “real men” section, they have a lot more definitions than women do.

Callan brings up an interesting point. I know a good christian girl who is a great friend of mine who is in this situation with her father. I want to help her, but I am not sure how other than to tell her to pray about it. If anyone could help me, I would appreciate it.
