Sample Reply: Deshaun your questions, “Do you think God meant for women to be second to men?” is a very sensitive topic, however the answer is yes if one means did God intend to create women after he created man, however God made both men and women equally in His image and they both were created to rule over God’s creation together (Belleville, Blomberg, Keener & Schreiner, 2005, p. 272). The Apostle Paul says we are all equal in Christ (Gal. 3:28) and the commentary in the Holman Bible states that “No one people or group or gender is to be exalted over another” (Publishers, 2010, p. 2018). From the use of Genesis 2:23 in the discussion thread and from the discussion reply of Sharmon, a distinction needs to be made that the roles of a women in marriage or in the church are different (Statement of Faith, n.d.) from that of a woman in the workplace. For this reply, I will restrict my discussion to the workplace where the Bible does not put any restrictions on whether women can lead men. I have had a number of women superiors and in all cases, have treated them with the same respect that I would a male superior. A Christian should give both male and female bosses the same respect (Cochran, 2015).

Deschaun, you also asked about how one would feel if you were only hired to meet a quota. An interesting article in Forbes found that when a company posted available positioned and mentioned something about quotas that 13% of women interviewed were actually less likely to apply for the job at the company (Shemla & Kreienberg, 2014, October 16). Shemla & Kreienberg, (2014, October 16) recommended that for companies that want to attract talented women that these companies instead of using a quota system should provide incentives such as, “career-focused initiatives specially designed for women [or] accommodate female employees in balancing family and career”.
