This week at the United Nations (UN), thousands of activists, government officials and UN officials gathered in New York for the annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). While the theme for the conference is “The equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS,” several countries and non-government organizations (NGOs) have used the annual meeting as a soapbox to promote radical ideas on homosexual rights, abortion and sex education.

Whoa a minute. Biblically speaking, the man is 100% responsible for every aspect of family life. Biblically speaking, the man is responsible for providing food, clothing, and everything else that he, his wife, and his children, need. He is also responsible for overseeing their education, including the selection of appropriate tutors and training courses. Even yes the cleaning is the man's responsibility, if you comprehend Scripture correctly.
The role of the wife? Be the husband's helper.
There is not an "equal sharing of responsibilities between men and women" - and nature teaches us that there cannot ever be - and Scripture teaches us that there is not to be.
Nature teaches us - it is IMPOSSIBLE for a man to carry the unborn child, or give it birth, or truly breast-feed it. But according to the UN CSW, aren't we supposed to share this responsibility equally - because all responsibility is to be shared equally? It's impossible! Ah - in other words, right from the word go, the theory fails. But they'll still cling to it with everything they have.
The Bible teaches us - all responsibilities in the home are the man's responsibility - the woman is but a helper. There is no Biblically-legislated "his tasks" vs "her tasks" - he is responsible for them all, and she helps him discharge his duty. But again, nature shows us that women tend to find it easier to focus on the nurturing-oriented roles.
If one man happens to have no children, and happens to run a cattle ranch with 3,000 head of cattle, he is responsible for every aspect of the home. His wife's help may come in the form of flying their little helicopter to check the fencelines every week. i.e. the natural disposition towards the more nurturing-oriented tasks is not a prohibition against a woman helping her husband in any manner she is capable of.
But the buck still does stop - even for meals and cleaning - with the husband.
