Are women crazy?

I thought this was an interesting post this week, about not just giving yourself female license to pour out unhelpful/sinful emotions, and fighting insecurity. (It’s curious though, sometimes I don’t think you get much credit for having any if you attempt to control your emotions – as though people assume that because you tried not be ungodly and storm or sulk or fall apart in response to something hurtful or otherwise, therefore it can’t have meant all that much to you – which can be discouraging, but I guess that’s all part of the mix of life down here.) Here’s a little excerpt from the post:

I’ve met people before who denied that women were crazy, but their perspective was rooted in naivety. They wanted me to think better of women. Theresa is different. She’s not naive. She sees the very real hold that emotions can have on women. She sees all of our sin and she doesn’t think more highly of women than I do – she thinks more highly of God than I do. She doesn’t ask me to think better of women – she asks me to think better of God. She challenges me to believe that His Spirit is stronger than hormones.

Theresa believes I can be different. She doesn’t think I’m supposed to just resign myself to the emotional meltdowns that I can sometimes fall victim to, and not because she thinks I’m better than I am, but because she believes Christ is better. She believes Him when He says He offers freedom, renewal and restoration.
