Should we wrestle girls? I haven't thought this all the way through yet, but here are two contrasting articles on the subject. Read them and tell me what you think. I do know that I have this temptation to side with Rick Reilly because I don't want to be made fun of. I also have this temptation to side with John Piper because they thought about adding him to the list of apostles in the bible. The trinity would have been blasphemous and would it be called the quadinity? I digress, to a lot of you it seems like no big deal. I don't mind my daughters being a little tomboyish. I'm not a big fan of prissiness. I think that Piper makes an excellent point on not wanting my daughter touched in that way. I also think that boys and girls are different(profound, I know). Stereotypes when it comes to sex are abundant. The thing is, I don't mind most of them. God created us different and I believe we have different ways of glorifying God. Men may glorify God with their strength while girls honor God with their beauty. Rather than running away from the biblical view of manhood/womanhood towards "equality", we should run towards the bible. Embrace the differences and celebrate them.
