   Are women here to aid the spiritual evolution of men?
   
   If so, have Western women abandoned their post?

   I don't know - since priests, rabbis, and ministers tend to be overwhelmingly male, it seems to me men should be women's spiritual guides.  With all these spiritual leaders abusing their privileges and deadbeat dads all over the place, it's the men who have abandoned their post.

      The basic structure of humanity is female until testosterone kicks in and makes certain individuals male. The nature of female is to nurture and provide the formative experiences for one to reach the exalted state of manhood. Society has offset this.

   I believe  life is a personal journey.
   You are responsible for your own evolution through the lessons (you) learned during your time on the planet. Your spiritual connection to God is going to be different from everyone else.
   On "judgment day" you and you alone must atone for your way of life. You can't point the finger at anyone else including "Western women" for the choices (you) made. One man's opinion! :-)

      I'm not blaming any women or anything. I just mean broadly and collectively speaking perhaps the intended symbiotic nature of the genders has been offset by Western values. Life is indeed a personal journey, but we don't evolve from inside a vacuum.

   God created men and women to work together to complete and support each other. In the marriage relationship (one man and one woman), the husband is to provide loving leadership and the wife is to follow and support her husband. Both are to love and care for one another above all others.
   
   Men and women each have some particular characteristics that when combined in team effort, prove very effective.

      A lot of what you said are social expectations, and holy matrimony is a recent development. I'm trying to assess the two genders in their natural and primitive form. It would seem that the striving, self-centered feminine concept has hurt relations.

      Actually, holy matrimony was instituted at the very beginning of mankind (Genesis 2:18-25; Matthew 19:4). This is key to understanding the relationship between men and women.

      The beginning of mankind is much older than the bible or any of its writers were, and the breakdown of the institution in the modern day can be attributed to the breakdown in gender relations because women refuse to adapt to their natural role.
