Me and husband material at the SolaPanel

I've been quoted in the SolaPanel today :), at the risk of making myself look like a high-maintenance, dragon-lady single woman for owning it. While I agree that Mark's biblical reasoning, when asked, for why he suggests that men move out of home was not convincing, and I had some discussion with friends acknowledging such at Engage, most people overwhelmingly agreed with his principles (and if he stressed that you had to own your own home, I missed that). I agree with Nicole's point that women simply aren't looking for a buddy/mate but for someone who shows some evidence that he can lead, spiritually and otherwise, in relationship and who will actually look after them. And it's not so much the men who are perhaps less talented or educated in this area (it's not about some specific personality type Myers-Briggs thing, or even biblical/theological learning, but the willingness to take initiative and responsibility - and there is always room for maturing, or lessons ;) ) as the ones who don't even seem to have any interest in aiming for it that bother me. Some men can even be all very responsible as far as concerns their own affairs, but when it comes to taking care of anyone else it's almost like "but what would I want to do that for?".

Anyway, go and read the interesting comments on the SolaPanel.

And, by the way, I am well aware that women have their problems too and we got off rather scot free from Mark Driscoll, so no doubt some men would like to say a few words and make a list or two.
