Homemaking Seminary
0
I know, I know. Old news. I’ve been out of state for a couple weeks with no access to internet, and I don’t really watch television if I can help it.
The story is relevant though. The Southwestern Baptist is offering a BA of Homemaking to women only. Now, women cannot become ministers or serve their church in other ways other than simply becoming a good mother and wife.
Courses include
seven hours of nutrition and meal preparation, seven hours of textile design and “clothing construction,” three hours of general homemaking, three hours on “the value of a child,” and three hours on the “biblical model for the home and family.”
June Cleaver will be everywhere if Southwestern Baptist has its way. People are not to actually think for themselves and the world will be shiny and happy as it was back in the 50’s (insert eye roll here). Why should a good Christian woman do anything to challenge herself? Why should a woman actually set herself up to take on the world if necessary? Let alone a job. When done with this coursework, the only thing the woman may be able to do is take a husband to whom she will have really bland and uninteresting missionary style sex with whenever he wants.
The course is offered only to women. I am so glad that I was raised by parents who understood that gender roles are ridiculous. The person who can make the most should work and the other can raise the kids. My dad stayed home with me, period. When we got old enough, he got a job. No roles or expectations.
This is the way our country seems to be going though. Forever backward. We are actually trying to undo progress so that people can have the simple life that we once had. Remember, woman are servants.
Blah.
