During an Equal Pay Day event at the White House, Biden said:
"There's a lot to do, but together we can ensure that our daughters have all the same rights and opportunities as our sons," Biden said. "And if we're able to do this, it'll be transformational for our nation. That's the goal. That's what this is all about. That's what this team, all of you, are all about.
"Let me make one more point. You know, I've told my daughters, granddaughters from the time they [were] old enough to understand what I was saying — and I mean it: There's not a single thing a man can do that a woman can't do as well or better. Not a single thing."
There was considerable pushback after the President’s statement. Here’s just a few,
Maybe I’m weird, but I just don’t need this patronizing nonsense to feel great about being a woman. I’m so glad there are things men can do that I can’t. I’m also pretty thrilled that I can do things men can’t, like carrying and delivering babies. I don’t want to be like a man (Beth).
Um be a FATHER! The best mom in the world can’t make up for that absolutely necessary thing every human needs! (Mandy)
I understand empowering women but this just isn’t accurate. There are things men can do that women can’t and there are things women can do that men can’t... everyone is not equal and that’s ok (Tyler).
When you've decided that men can call themselves women in order to bring male physical advantages to female sports, you can make that claim (Max).
1.Father a child 2. Be a father to that child and give it the love that comes wrapped in gentle masculinity that a mother must complement but cannot match (J).
This man is growing more terrified of the Woke Mafia by the day (Nan).
Having a Father at home is the single most significant indicator of success/poverty later in life. But rather than promote Fatherhood, the Left would rather tear it down with statements like the one from Biden; and by defining a 2 parent household as "white privilege". If you really want to help the poor, you should promote Fatherhood (Brock).
The party of science has become the party of science fiction (Jan).
I, as a real woman, (i.e. NOT a Rachel Levine "woman") want to say that our culture's anti-male rhetoric is so apalling and horribly saddening and disgusting to me. The worshiping of women disgusts me, too. Also when our culture pretends that stripping people of morals is somehow empowering (generally I think of women acting sleezy or abusing substances and we're told it's "empowering.") This world needs God (Louanne).
This statement by the President reflects an ongoing attempt in our culture to erase one of the fundamental distinctions that our Father set up during the Creation of this world.
He created male and female distinct from each other; different yet complementary. Together in marriage they make a wonderful unit, a perfect illustration of something heavenly (Ephesians 5:22-33).
The family is at the center of God's purpose. There is a reason why God chose marriage to portray the relationship He has with His people. It is primarily in the family that a Godly heritage is handed down from generation to generation. God chose Abraham and promised to give him a family and from that family to make a nation to bless other nations. Abraham's family was the foundation of the nation Israel, from which the Savior came. Then, through that Savior, God brought all believers into a final spiritual family—the Spiritual Israel.
This is why the enemy is determined to bring destruction to the family order; to damage the distinction between male and female. It’s a way for him to hurt the Heavenly Father.
In order to recover the beauty and meaning of God’s distinctions, we need to speak honestly and bluntly of the ugliness of their counterfeits. In the process we learn not to be ashamed of God’s biblical distinctions, but instead to be ashamed of attempts to tear them down.
****
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband (Ephesians 5).
