Women Pastors

Don't quite understand where you are coming from here John..... I am of the opinion that two people doing the same *** should get equal money-regardless of sex... Why should a female consultant of medicine get less than her male colleague?

Now, I appreciate that many men support their famillies, but this is usually the case where the wife is the main carer (and worker) at home.

In my own marriage, there have been times when my husband has been the main earner and other times when I have. While the children are young, we have taken the choice for me to be at home more for the children- it is something that we as a team have decided. I know other famillies where the wife is the one who is the main earner, and the husband is the one at home- should the woman earn less than a male colleague in this scenario?

It depends. If a husband is more capable of doing better *** than a wife, so be it, he should get paid more. Here is a scenario. Is a wife able to lift a 300-pound man or woman out of a burning building?

I quite agree... where a man can do a better *** than a woman, he should be higher in the scale and paid more. The woman should also be paid more if she is doing a better ***. IMHO, pay should be given for the *** done and how well it is done, not on the basis of sex.

In most cases, women are probably not best suited to being firewomen- however some of the women I see at the Gym, are probably better suited than most men.
