Dear me, I hope you are joking. I have accidentally spit on the mic while singing, quite a few times. (Then hoped I was the only one who noticed....LOL!!!!)

Well all I know is I could see her esophagus when she preached. She acted like a bull in a china shop. She stomped and chomped and romped.

It was sceery!

As Michlow pointed out, feminism and women acting masculine aren't exactly the same things, and it seems you're opposing the second one. Some people would call me a feminist, because I believe that women have equal value as men, that they should be treated with respect and cherished by the men in their lives, and should be able to pursue the will of God. Speaking from a purely secular perspective, I believe women should be able to attend the best schools, work the best jobs, vote, have equal legal rights in marriage, etc. etc.

Women should behave in a feminine manner, and it's obnoxious and offensive when they act masculine.

Now, whether or not a raised voice or a passionately presented sermon qualifies as "masculine" is debatable. Most people know effeminance[sp?] or a macho woman when they see it, and its hard to put into concrete terms.

I certainly don't think that it's proper teaching for a woman to say things like, "women go home and 'tell' your husbands!" First of all, that's just a lack of wisdom, since most men don't respond well to being "told" anything. (e.g., bossed around or ordered to do something), and secondly it seems to contradict the idea of wives being meek, submissive and respectful to their husbands.

Again, though, is that masculinity or ignorance? Who knows?

At Ladies' Conferences, women tend to let their guard down a little more and say what's really on their hearts, and they probably don't tone things down as much as they would if men were in the room, so I'm not sure that's a bad thing....

Now, it isn't really FAIR to judge a woman's total status as "feminine" when she's shockamoo-ing! Especially at a conference where there are only ladies, and she may not be as worried about appearance as she normally would be.


Nona Freeman...Vesta Mangun...Nancy Grandquist...LaJoyce Martin...just a few women who can speak the Word of God with equal power and anointing as a man, while still retaining their femininity and dignity.

Amen...

Slapping the pulpit is probably masculine...

Sandpaper palms could also be called dishwater hands, though...

She had muscular Jaws and walked like a body builder. When I saw her preach it was like watching a Rainbow warrior in pulpit. I could not focus on the message.

Coop how dare you talk about me...J/K

Come on...many of you males have issues with women who are assertive or ministering in any fashion.
