is it really equal but different?

i thought i'm not going to post this entry at all. but later on, decided to post not in too much details. i had a long discussion with a friend over the phone last night. it lasted more than an hour. we didn't plan it. it didn't surprise me that things will be a bit messy when two different points of view are thrown on the subject of submission (or rather the ordination for women priests). i suppose the word 'submission' has carried a different meaning the day feminism was born. i was rather surprised however at myself for thinking that everything was fine, until i have to conclude that i don't really know my friend quite well right from the beginning. by the end of the discussion, things are very much floating around the circles. nobody seems to have been able to 'convert' anyone. humanly speaking, this is rather disappointing for me, but i think it is for this reason that opportunities may exist for future follow-ups. one step at a time, i don't expect for my friend to change her point of view over one course of convos.

this afternoon, i can't help but posting having read this article. i won't say too much about it, but it is quite a well-known tactic that the liberals as well as the media have always used to lay their hands on the evangelicals on issues like women ordination and homosexual priests.

what are your thoughts?
