The ladies' missionary society is a classic illustration. These ladies can talk about things that their husbands find boring or "off topic" to their own lives. The Amish are a great example. The wives get together and do hand work and trade stories and basically let their hair down. This characteristic in women, having lady friends, is ancient.
So, the following article is a lot of rubbish talk. Someone has found a way to do a research on women in which the outcome was predictable. The questions were undoubtedly loaded in the direction of feminist thinking of course, so this historic aspect of women's lives is translated into a premise that husbands are failures. This is exactly what we would expect from feminazis, and the media grabs the myth and runs with it.

Any smart husband knows that his wife needs women friends to keep her balance in life. A wise husband will encourage his wife to make lady friends. What is totally missing here is a survey of husbands whose wives have lady friends to see how this actually makes them better wives and more interesting to their husbands.
The assumption from damned-to-Hell feminists is that husbands are again being mindless and uninteresting brutes. Men need to repent and start watching soap operas and reading Harlequin novels so they can have a lady-man session with the wives.
The irony is, men do the same thing. Men have male friends with whom they roar and have fun because they need the iron-sharpeneth-iron experience. Men need to go fishing and hunting with other men to have a balanced personality.
So, let's have no more of this blather, bluster, and bull about husbands letting the world down because their wives need lady friends. When you hear this rubbish, slap it down with a vengeance. The only thing that could come from this is for decent women to feel guilty because they have women friends whom they need to be socially balanced. What a wicked world it would be if women all decided they did not want to have other women for friends.
If you men are nervous about what your wife talks about with other women, ask your wife not to discuss your intimacies with her lady friends. Talk about this instead of worrying about it. And, you men do the same courtesy with your wife when you are with your man friends.
You men also need to help your wife find time and geography opportunities to be with other women, whether in groups or one on one.
You women who avoid other women, especially in the local church, are not balanced in your life. You single women who have man friends instead of women friends are fools. Virtually all of those men are just waiting for you to crack the door open to intimacy. None of those male friends are just interested in you intellectually or spiritually. That is the way God made men. They are looking for the woman they are meant to marry, and some of those men are plainly looking for any woman they can lead to bed. And, this happens at the First Baptist Church of Saint Innocent.
I am even talking about Christian women who have a friendship with their pastor. If he participates in this, he is getting ready to take you to bed. A godly pastor has only male friends. He lets his wife be the friend of the ladies in the local church. Any other arrangement is polygamy and adultery.
In nearly every local church in America is a man who is tired of the whores he has been chasing and bedding down, and he is looking for a godly Christian girl to finally marry and settle down. Let me tell you a secret, dear lady..... That dude will run out on you within thirty days of marrying you. I suggest you get close to a couple of God fearing woman to whom you can be accountable. Other ladies, who care about their lady friends, will warn them when they are about to befriend a mad dog.
The bottom line is this..... Stop letting the media define who you are and who is important in your life. Let God the Holy Spirit do that for you by getting into the Bible, and stay close to a Bible preaching church. And, do make a friend of an older godly woman in the church who is walking righteously with the Lord.
Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Women..... If any woman friend of yours teaches you to be unlike the qualities seen in verses 4-5, shuck them off at once. A good friend will send you down the road to be a biblical woman.
