Because I don't understand how it happened. I don't understand how Satan convinced our churches that men should fight lust like it's dragging them to hell, and women should laugh about their sinful emotional outbursts. It seems like somehow in the beautiful movement to challenge men to lead more, we accidentally began to avoid the insecurity in women in the name of 'grace'. We began to blame men for women's craziness. We began tiptoeing around truth out of fear of creating drama.
I wonder to myself what would look different in the Church today if women fought insecurity the way they expect others to fight pornography or adultery. I wonder what would be different if women would stop laughing at the way they get irrationally angry or sad and instead acknowledge that there are some emotions that are an offense against a Holy God.
God made women beautifully and fearfully. And one of the best things about them is that they experience deep emotions. The call to fight emotional sin is a call not to remove emotions, but to redeem them. God designed us to have emotions that reflect His worth. An emotionless life is just as sinful as a life filled with ungodly emotions.

Women are crazy...
Incredible perspective on women, and how we should not simply accept the silly phrase "women are just crazy"
