Upon meeting two women

Recently I encountered two women I found to be of interesting note. Of the two women, one was quite obviously an outspoken feminist. She talked as though she would be quite happy to completely eradicate any mention of man, men or anything that would even remotely hint at patriarchal values. I found this to be of interesting note because quite honestly, I was bothered by the whole encounter. The idea of completely eradicating men quite honestly bothered me. I'm reminded of a song I heard once as a child, "Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking. What a grand world this would be, if the men were all transported far beyond the northern sea." Reuben's reply is: "Oh my goodness gracious Rachel, what a strange world this would be, if the men were all transported far beyond the northern sea." On this issue I have to agree with Reuben. Indeed it would be a strange world to live if in fact men were completely eradicated. Granted I have had my moments when I've wanted to see the eradication of men, I think most women would be foolish if they think they haven't; however I think if women thought it through for two seconds they would infact realize the folly. As much as women may try to resist men are infact needed to stabilize women. I shudder to think about what the world would be like if ran by women, though that day may soon be approaching if Hillary Clinton gets her way. Women are emotional creatures and in fact need men to reason with them. If God had wanted the world to be ruled by women he would not have created man. By the same logic if God had wanted woman to be man he would have simply created man and let it be at that. The fact of the matter is, God in his ultimate wisdom created both man and woman for a purpose. God said "it is not good for man to be alone." The same could be said of woman.
