This is a look at men, women, and the life of the world we share. A large part of the motivation from this piece stems from a paradox, or at least an oddity. When a feminist takes a position, she is quite often articulate, and can give clear and cogent arguments why feminism or something close to it is needed for the well-being of women (and perhaps men). By contrast, people who disagree with feminism on principle are rarely so articulate: while they may quote the Bible, they so rarely articulate their "why?" that often it is not only feminists who may have never heard why a traditional position has an inner logic and a beating heart that is not only coherent, but is meant for the benefit of women as well as men. (Few feminists, egalitarians, or complementarians have seen this position clearly explained.) In fact, those who disagree with feminism may not have heard any more articulate of an explanation than many feminists! This isn't just unfortunate for complementarians; egalitarians and feminists may not really benefit from such an arrangement either. The pieces in this volume are connected, each in its own way, to an effort to articulate precisely what is almost never explained even by people who hold it on a deep level. A quote: Interlocutor What would you say to, "A woman's place is in the House--and in the Senate!"? Articulate Qualitarian Well, if we're talking about disrespectful, misogysnistic... Wait a minute... Let me respond to the intention behind your question. Do you know the Bible story about the Woman at the Well? Interlocutor Yes! It's one of my favorite stories. Articulate Qualitarian Do you know its cultural context?
