I absolutely believe that we can learn from almost anything we read. Even from lightweight novels, I feel like sometimes I have new insight into people I know based on the characters and the way they think and behave and speak!

My husband doesn't get them, but I think you can learn something from just about everything you read. I always try to tell him those books have plenty of things to learn inside their pages. :)<br /><br />Men and women definitely complement each other. Like Kristin said, this world would be a very unbalanced place without one or the other.

I know of that book, Wild at Heart, and I read the "sister" book written by his wife. It's called Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul. I highly recommend it. The Eldredges have such a beautiful way of thinking and writing about what makes each of us uniquely male or female.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Kate Harveyhttp://something-ivory.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-54256367307893652442013-03-19T13:48:46.045-04:002013-03-19T13:48:46.045-04:00Kate, My husband reads SF books as well, maybe I s...Kate, My husband reads SF books as well, maybe I should start looking at them differently. This post made me think of the book Wild at Heart by John Eldredge. He writes about the hearts and souls of men. Man was made in His image. Exodus 15:3 (KJV) The Lord is a Man of war: The Lord is his name. While I don't believe God wants us to pick fights He certainly wants us to fight for ourselves . The bible is full of stories of war while The Lord stood by and protected His people.

Though you and I seem to disagree on many things :), I read your blog because I think that opposing viewpoints help me to form my own more thoroughly. I appreciate your posts!<br /><br /> I guess my main point is that while the term "feminism" has negative connotations within society, the only thing that feminism actually stands for is the social, economic and political equality of women to men. All of the other stuff is promoted by smaller sub-groups, but not "feminism" as a whole. :)KJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-1201452096325237802013-03-19T12:40:22.145-04:002013-03-19T12:40:22.145-04:00Well thanks, Natalie, I always love your sweet com...Well thanks, Natalie, I always love your sweet comments! :)Kate Harveyhttp://something-ivory.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-62398682033034109102013-03-19T12:36:10.677-04:002013-03-19T12:36:10.677-04:00This post is so thought provoking!

Of course I believe men and women are equal, but that comes from my faith as a Christian, not from feminism. <br /><br />I think you're right to separate equality from sameness, but too often, I think that feminism obscures that particular point. Good for you for distinguishing the two.<br /><br />Does this answer your question?Kate Harveyhttp://something-ivory.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-25541361307815628402013-03-19T12:15:21.461-04:002013-03-19T12:15:21.461-04:00May I ask why you say you're "no feminist...May I ask why you say you're "no feminist"? Feminism seems to have a distinctly negative connotation, but feminism simply promotes the equality of the sexes. As a feminist, I would absolutely say that equality does not mean sameness.KJnoreply@blogger.com
