If you looked at the many things about women we did, you might think oh wow! Terrible! Sarah was right, I'm glad I live in this day and age where women get more respect and are more than property. But what I wonder was did God really want us to be property back then? But then again if it was such a big deal to God, maybe the laws would be different?
Another thing we talked about is the standout women who fought for their rights. Pretty much all of them used their "feminine charm" and bodies to do so. While it was awesome they had the courage to do that, I feel that the methods were not that great. True they had courage, but does it always have to be beauty that speaks to people or can it not be heart? I do admire Abigail, because she just had a heart for the Lord. She was probably the only one (possibly) besides Vashti who didn't use her body or sex to show great favor in God's eyes, and to be an standout.
Are we still property? I feel like society makes us either feel like or not feel like property. I see both in the media. But will we ever fully get rights? I hope we reflect more on this soon!
