I was watching Parks and Recreation via HULU, when an interesting episode came on. In it, Lesley Knope, an overly zealous women, decides to invade the "Men's Club", a group of her fellow male coworkers drinking beer outside and hanging out. She thinks they are planning their take over of the world, while they are shooting the breeze, talking about their crummy jobs and family messes.

In the end, she decides to break company protocol by drinking wine and eating cheese from an off limits gift from a contractor. This leads to the underage drinking of the intern. All of this ends up being posted on a FACEBOOK group accidentally. And thats how Lesley ends up in front of a bunch of old white men in business suits acting as an ethics committee.

Lesley in an effort to break the glass ceiling, bumped her head!

The media is saturated with this preponderance of the role of men and women. I was confronted by it in Target as I looked at all of the advertisements where men and women alike were running around angrily. I was faced by it on television with Lesley Knope. And daily as a male in a very female job setting, teaching, I am always wondering how in the world my coworkers organize things more quickly, count papers more quickly, and do everything super fast. Its not that I can't organize or count, its just that I am slower at it!

Marraige is allways a fun place to analyze the battle of the sexes. I rarely fold towels straight, arrange dishes correctly, and I am pretty much impaired when it comes to straightening the house. I live in an apartment, therefore theres no yard, place to wash the cars, or change the oil. Not that I have ever been good at any of those things, but it would be easier to share roles that way.

The problem is, the things that I am very good at, well I don't spend most of my time excercising from those areas. And I am left wondering, is this time in history where the sexes are socially equal in all areas of life, leaving some males adrift.

Obviously. I have it a bit easier because I have to high of an I.Q. and its acceptable for me to have the absent minded professor problems, but what about the jocks? Its easy for me to see what is happening. They are trapped in boring marraiges, jumping from relationship to relationship, or partying hardy!

As usual, I am left with my Biblical Worldview to fallback on. I always think the assumptions of those who haven't read the Bible on the issue or somewhat funny. I have heard that Christian Men are mysiogenistic or control freaks, true I have meet some of them, but they really aren't very proned to actually reading or interpreting the Bible on any of this. They are usually the type that believe that what Daddy said is what the Bible said, and they find proof texts to support their arguments. Proof texts are never very likely to be contextual.
