Demasculinizing of America- a FaceBook Encounter

I recently came across a post on FaceBook.  Someone thought it was funny. I did not. This is another example of the Spirit of Jezebel at work. Required a response. The caption read:

"YOUR HUSBAND WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BIGGEST AND OLDEST CHILD THAT REQUIRES THE MOST ADULT SUPERVISION"


MY RESPONSE:

"Ah, another acceptable sexist joke. Okay- because it is toward men? Let's change this around and see what happens. "Your wife will always be your biggest and oldest child that requires the most adult supervision." Not so funny either way. Sorry you have met so few real men- loving, responsible husbands, fathers with character and a moral fiber. If a woman enters a marriage with this view of men, or marries a man who lacks character, because she thinks they all do, then her marriage is destined to fail. Not a laughing matter. Please forgive, I am a little weary of this false message promoted by western media. Ever notice how many commercials include the dumb, clueless man, with a woman, or even a girl, that comes to his rescue? Marriages can be strong only if there is mutual respect. [P.S. Married 35 years and the father of five daughters.]"

"Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, ..." [Ephesians 5]
