The Baha'i Studies Listserv You dont need to nitpick about what Baha'u'llah said, if it is interpretted as such by the authorities then we follow it just as if it came from Baha'u'llah that is the covenant. In any case. You think Abdul'Baha said when women are the primary educators of men he was perhaps implying not what ought to be but what has been in the past? How can this be that from when time the child comes forth and begins drinking his mothers milk he is being educated and nursed by the mother. This is as i was saying the ideal and natural way. Not saying men cant fall into this role. Not saying women cant go to war or chop logs. It simply the difference of the roles due to different physical characteristics. Inequality exists because it is not fair that women can carry a child and i cant. that implies inequality. You realise this right? This is inequality created by God in man and women. Hence that is NO TRUE equality in the pure sense. Men and woman are equal because their spirits are equal but as for physical strengths weekness and physical attributes and gifts they not the same. And this is an apparent inequality. Do you deny this?
Why is Abdul'baha being apparently unequal while saying women are better at tenderness than men and shouldnt be requred for war? according to your argument Abdul'Baha should never have said this because men and women are perfectly suited to whatever role they wish ie have perfect equality outwardly and in all situations socially (such as the need for war). __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-537233-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
