We read an article by Jeanine Sahidi. I don’t know if she is a liberal Muslim or what but the article was perverse. Of course, I write as a conservative Christian. And, of course, I would be opposed to feminism in all of its forms.

The article was entitled, “Why aren’t more women leading U. S. Companies?”

First, we know that women are not (I repeat, “Not”) to have dealings in such things. Doesn’t God say that they are to be domestic?

Second, where does it say that a woman is not to lead U.S. companies? We wonder how they are not to lead (1 Timothy 2:11-15) when this is precisely what God says.

Third, the article begins, “Women have made great strides in business and in the boardroom in record numbers.” We wonder about this. If women have made “great strides” what does this mean? If women are not to lead, how are they to lead?

Fourth, according to the article, women now make up half of the U.S. population but they have “accessed” only 10.6% of the Fortune 500 chief executive” positions and “32.5% of the Presidents” we wonder, especially since we want to compare this with what God has said.

It is wrong (and sinful) for a woman to be an “executive” or a University President?  We wonder how such a woman can complain. She is complaining that she is not obeying God in this matter that women are violating Scripture is this idolatrous practice.

According to this woman, we learn that women are idolatrously violating Scripture at record numbers. She said that women must “prove” themselves. Some 50% referred to “gender” discrimination—even though we know that God is the One who says that a woman is not to be a “leader” over the man!

Next, we see that 48% “noted” that “family responsibilities” are negative to many people. But we should note that God (our Creator) says that women are to have a family (if they can) and not pursue a leadership position.

According to what we read, 48% say that “it’s only a matter of time” before there are as many women as men “occupying the top roles” of gender!

So we wonder. If women are not to have leading roles, if they are not to be in leadership, how are we to view this phenomenon? We wonder why women are not content where God has placed them. Why do they want and even insist on leadership that God has not given to them? Surely He is not pleased with this arrangement and departure from His plan and provision.

Do women want to please God, their Creator, and find fulfillment in worldly pursuits? Doesn’t this author (Jeanie Sahadi) realize this?
