Nursing and teaching (but not high school and maybe not middle school) is a natural area for women to be.  Or accounting, librarian, gardening.  Or other health areas.  ...not trying to make an exhaustive list, but most other professions are contrary to women’s natural talents and are better performed by men.

Also, women, even if they have a natural talent, shouldn’t be in men dominant fields.  *Ideally*
I homeschool k-12.  Is that feminist?  I dont think so.  I can certainly do a better job than the teachers in public school, and protect my children's souls to boot.
.
Accounting?  No thanks.  Give me algebra any day of the week!  :)  some women handle math better than others.  This does not make them feminist because they use the talents God gave them.

I have an intellectual understanding of the desirability of patriarchy.  Not only feminism, but original sin, are obstacles to living out what I know is right.

I don't expect to ever obey and respect my husband as much I think I should, no matter how much I try.  This is just the human condition.

Yes.  We all recognize God's authority, but most of us fail to obey on a regular basis.  It's called fallen human nature and sin.

TxTrad,
If you read my post VERY CAREFULLY you would see that what I wrote, and what you wrote, are in agreement.  

I was pointing out that, historically, women were NEVER involved in teaching young men after the 5th/6th grade.  Once young men reach that age, they need to be taught by men.  Your "disagreement" was a situation of homeschool, which is not anywhere close to what I was talking about.

Secondly, I mentioned accounting as a possible job and you responded "some women handle math better than others.  This does not make them feminist because they use the talents God gave them."

Well, no crap!  Some women are better at math, which is WHY I SUGGESTED ACCOUNTING.  (If you don't know, accounting has lots of math).

Both your statements are 'manufactured fights' as I call them.  Or, you just have poor reading comprehension.  Either way, it explains why you and Croix got along so well...you constantly disagree with people for stupid reasons.

I don't mean to berate, only to distinguish.
.
1. I don't see "historically" anywhere in your post.
2. You did not distinguish between homeschool and non-homeschool.
3. Accounting requires about 3rd grade math (adding and subtracting, and a little multiplication and division).
4. I may have reading comprehension issues, but I believe I read your post correctly, even after reading it SLOWLY, as you suggested.
5. I would further state that if a woman has a natural ability for the sciences, she should use them.  For example, Madame Curie.

You just like to argue for argument's sake.  Good day.
