I've listened to Driscoll for years, now, and don't think it is fair to call him a woman hater. (The article is lacking in any evidence or quotations, for that matter.) Weird, sure, but aren't we all? :)His theology, best I can understand it, is quite simple and seems to be the opposite of woman-hating. He has spent a ton of time at his church focusing on the men -- the theory being if you teach the men to BE men, women won't have to play both the part of the man AND the woman.What do I mean? Take the single mom that has to do it ALL. (She's a hero, by the way.) But, it isn't the way it is supposed to be, is it? Why else would (secular) research keep proving how important it is to have a (good) father in a child's life? So, what do you do? Teach the women to deal with it, or try and fix the root cause? (The men.) Driscoll's approach has been the latter, and personally, I applaud him and Mars Hill for it.I don't see how teaching men to love and honor their girlfriends and wives could be construed as woman-hating, but maybe I am missing something....
