“Your being domestic.” A statement that actually “triggered”, aggravated, the woman I was talking to. We were having a discussion about making bread and house cleaning, seems domestic to me! She insisted she was not being domestic she was being “creative”. I began thinking about other terms of behavior that upset loyal Democrats, a.k.a. liberals.
DOMESTIC- By definition this word simply relates to the concerns of a specific area. As a nation our leaders develop “domestic” policies as the head of the house the individual is concerned with the development of the household A domestic servant is concerned with the home, generally a specific area or areas. To be domestic, as an individual, simply indicates that you are focused on how your home: is it clean, are the utilities on, are there any repairs that need to be done is there food in the house, etc. It seems that Liberals don’t want to be associated with managing their homes.
HOMEMAKER/ HOUSEWIFE / STAY-AT-HOME MOMS - These terms are traditionally associated with a woman whose career choice is inside the home and not becoming a CEO of some major corporation; she makes the decision not to bring in a regular income. Most modern day women make the choice to be financially independent, the idea of being dependent on a man is abhorrent to them. Personally, I prefer the term homemaker to housewife because we are not married to our house.
To run a home successfully with children is, in my opinion, harder than being a career woman. As I, in my later years, attempt at cooking, cleaning, sewing, knitting, crocheting, paying household bills, planning trips, keeping up with children (even adult children have issues from time to time) and maintaining a relationship, I look forward to retiring. Work hinders my ability to do the things that I desire to do as a woman. Did I mention: Daily praying and reading of God’s word? If all I had to do was work my life would be very easy.
WIFE /WOMAN’S WORK/ FEMALE ROLES - I will define a woman as any individual with “XX” chromosomes; a surgical created vagina does not make a person female; based on this definition (the correct one) a woman can accept the role of wife, she can do what is traditionally referred to as “woman’s work and as a wife she can develop household responsibilities that, roles.
It is true that women can do most of the work men can do an men can do most of the work that women do; I am not offended by the phrase “woman’s work”, I just don’t use it.
There are roles, depending on the era, that are seen as male roles and female roles. (*I wonder how many people are still reading?) Once upon a time men sewed more than women, it was when the sewing machine was created for home use that women started sewing. Women knowing how to use a gun is not a modern day concept, women with rank in the military is. Historically, women have had to cook, clean, plow fields, provide financially and emotionally for the family as well as give birth to the baby whereas, men can cook, clean plow fields and provide financially and emotionally for the family but he cannot give birth. No matter what there can be only one head of a household, one individual who has the final say thus there are roles, a man’s role and a woman’s role.
MOTHER / MOTHERHOOD - Why does being a mother trigger a Liberal? Because they want me to accept the role of motherhood thus, we have the label “birth parent” being promoted among those who choose to ignore God’s word.
BIBLE / FAITH - To be fair it is not the word Bible that triggers a liberal or the word faith, it is the application of faith in the Bible that they have a problem with. Today we see the proliferation in places that pose as Christian churches teaching lies as biblical truths. When a Believer, such as myself, attempts to share the Truth by quoting directly from the Bible, in its’ proper context, Liberals become offended and often angry.
SUBMISSIVE - People confuse submission with slavery. To be a slave indicates the individual has no choice; you have to choose to submit yourself to another ideology or individual. I yield myself to God the Father, and to my Beloved in that order; I will not do anything that my Beloved request if it disagrees with God’s word. My Beloved is submitted to God’s word and from time to time he yields to my request. Marital submission is mutual but it is not 50 -50; someone has to have the final say thus, it is 51-49.
I don’t believe a person can be a Democrat and submitted to God’s word, be a Christian. The Democrat platform goes against Scripture. The triggering words I discussed: domestic, homemaker, housewife, stay-at-home mom, wife, woman’s work, female roles, mother, motherhood, Bible, faith and submissive; I believe, convict the hearer. These words convict because the speaker of these words are speaking as a representative of the Kingdom of God.
One of the motivating factors in my restructuring this blog is to help women learn to appreciate who God has made them. WE are all unique individuals with different purposes. Our purpose is based on our femaleness and we do not have to compete with a man nor do we have to be ashamed of our desire to create a beautiful home life. As a single woman I was a homemaker with a household of one submitted to God my Father; I am being promoted.
