whenever Taylor Swift's song "The Man" plays during my running mix, I think these lyrics instead. I like to ponder and argue with conservative theology and complementarianism in my free time because I am giant nerd.
I would be cool.
I'd be allowed to be an elder and vote on every rule.
I could teach bible to all of my peers,
the male ones and the female, not just the girls and the kids.
I'd wear what I wanted.
Not be called a "stumbling block,"
and if you were hooked on porn or cheated,
it wouldn't be my fault.
I'm so tired of working as hard as I can,
to give unearned respect to some random man.
And I'm not saying it's every man,
bc now I know better, and I can spot a good man.
If I were a man...
I'd be the man.
If I were a man...
I'd be a good man.
I'm raising a good man.
