A lot of things from the world have been around awhile. Doesn't make it Christian. 

I meant no offense. There have been so many goofy threads lately. I just assumed this was another one of them. I offer my sincerest apologies.

I picked up on the light-hearted humor, my friend. I think many of us did, and I didn't see anything egregious about your post. It's good for all of us to take a step back every now and then and cease from adoring our opinions, yes? Yes. 

I lean toward goofiness as a means to cope with hardness, myself. Laughing helps at times.

I will not participate in your haughty post. 

Sigh… how blind can one be? And still you don’t see….

Older women should be good examples to those that are younger than them.

If you set good examples, you will be respected.

talk is cheap.. many talk the talk but fail to walk the walk.

examine yourself before preaching to others…

You are forgiven and yes I have noticed some "goofy" threads. God bless.

there aren’t many of us Christian women able to live up to that standard…

Your response reminds me of when the church ladies learned my husband wasn't a Christian.  They read 1 Peter 3:1-4 to me:

 1Pe 3:1. In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives.   1Pe 3:2 as they observe your chaste (modest) and respectful behavior.                                                                                           1Pe 3:3 Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses            1Pe 3:4  but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a (meek) gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

 I replied:  "Me?  Meek and quiet?  You've got to be kidding!!!"  Yet that passage told me what God was trying to do in my life and how He wanted to change me.  50 years later am I meek and quiet? Well, perhaps I am meeker and quieter.  lol

Thanks for sharing @Willa

I have found the following Scripture helpful too:

 

Honor True Widows

3 Honor widows who are really widows. 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and (A)to repay their parents; for this is [a]good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers (B)night and day. 6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. 7 And these things command, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, (C)and especially for those of his household, (D)he has denied the faith (E)and is worse than an unbeliever.

9 Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man, 10 well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

11 But [c]refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, 12 having condemnation because they have cast off their first [d]faith. 13 And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some have already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing [e]man or woman has widows, let them [f]relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

Honor the Elders

17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, (F)“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, (G)“The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except (H)from two or three witnesses. 20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the [g]elect angels that you observe these things without (I)prejudice, doing nothing with partiality. 22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor (J)share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.

1 Timothy 5

[JohnPaul88]

A woman is God's most beautiful creation, that allows the multiplying of the human race by being able to bear children in God's image so that the human race may continue.

According to Bible history of course.

I hope you are joking with this post, it sounds like hatred towards Women.

Christ's death on the Cross eliminated all of this and has given everyone a chance for salvation.
