“Shaping the Dreams of Our Girls” (by nakedpastor David Hayward)

Most people aren’t even aware that they are limiting the dreams of girls. Most aren’t conscious of the fact that they are shaping the dreams of their daughters and female students into a sexist ideal or a misogynist fantasy. Not only do men do this, but women too. This can be corrected.

I was raised in a sexist culture. I need constant instruction to overcome my innate assumptions that are drilled into me by our misogynist society. I’m glad to be married to a strong woman. I’m glad to have a strong daughter. I’m glad to have strong women for friends.

Unfortunately, many churches limit women intentionally. And they refuse correction because they believe they are right, with God and the Holy Scriptures on their side.
