Firstly, Nature has deemed that males cannot naturally conceive so is Mother Nature discriminating in defining woman's role as a mother?
Hello....
Now...... what has the above question got to do with anything which I mentioned in my post? If you will ask such questions it would really help if you explain their relevence to what I wrote to Ingledsva?
Next, Mother Nature defines a woman's role as a mother and the males as the father not the Baha'i Faith,
Again..... that has nothing to do with women choosing to be politicians, or, say, fighter pilots, or anything else.
How does the fact that women can be mothers affect their life choices?
Thirdly, there are only 9 positions in the Baha'i Faith that women cannot hold. How does this make equality untrue?
Now, please, you go back, copy where I mentioned women in my post, and paste it into your next post to me!
You need to answer my points, surely?
There are more women in leadership and representative roles in the Baha'i Faith than any religion worldwide in a percentage basis because obviously we don't have the population other religions have, not yet.
I could easily focus upon female equality in a Bahai World, but since I DID NOT I won't get involved with your questions about women.
Where did you dig up the idea that I posted about women?
Last of all, the Bahá'í Teachings say that it will be women who will establish universal peace, that woman, by nature, is opposed to war.
OK..... I'm going to paste in the points I made to Ingledsva..... here we go.
Equality for all = both sexes!
sexual partnership and marriage = both sexes!
Laws on voting rights would exclude all non-bahais = both sexes!
Ruling Bahais = at most levels .....both sexes!
See? So, although I would have issues about gender equality in a bahai world........ I never mentioned this. So your view of what I wrote cannot have been objective.
.. .......................women are opposed to war.........
The above comment is prejudiced, utterly prejudiced. Our most warrior-like PM (UK) in the last 60 years has been a WOMAN!
That may not be the reason but it makes sense to me because Baha'is believe in just wars. You can't let a Hitler massacre millions and sit down and talk peace with the guy while he's building an arsenal to take over the world.
Where did I mention this stuff?
OK.... so Bahais in a bahai world would support and control military forces.
In every Civilisation both men and women are important and we must have all options on the table. An all woman House of Justice could possibly tie the House of Justice hands as it would not be able to wage a just war against a cruel dictator.
I never mentioned anything to do with women on the UHJ in my post, so I'm not going there just now.
So just as childbirth has been given uniquely to women, the role of protection has been given to men. It balances out in the end because both play a unique but different role essential to the survival of the human race.
Equality doesn't mean sameness. Men and women have equal rights but not equal roles in humanity.
I never mentioned any bahai divisions of the sexes.
But you just have, and you've told the world about how a Bahai Government in a Bahai World would be a military power, and you've told us how any attempts to recover power by any secular movement could be seen as bad.,.. could be described as 'hitler like'............
You did not address one single point that I made to Ingledsva, but just chucked all manner of bad facts about bahai (imo) into the debate.
