Pressure to Be Perfect - Does a Proverbs 31 Woman Exist? Ugly Christianity
-
- Christianity
One of the most cringe-worthy verses to me is Proverbs 31. Am I allowed to say that? I’ve heard it recited on Mother’s Day. I’ve seen it be hashtag goals on the internet. I feel like all I ever see is a laundry list of traits a woman must possess in order to be worthy of love and praise. Even in the checkout line I’m supposed to be interested in the 5 things that drive a man crazy. Call me crazy but I think I’ve managed to do that all on my own by just being a woman from Venus. Can I get an amen?
