Rather, equality looks like men and women finding equal peace in the distinct roles God has given them. Equality looks like men providing for their families, protecting them, loving their wives, and in so doing, teaching their sons how to treat women and teaching their daughters how men ought to treat them. Equality looks like women nurturing the ones they love, respecting their husbands, nursing their children, and comforting their friends as only they can. In times of warfare, equality looks like men carrying the cross of risking their lives to defend the families of their nation while women carry the cross of preserving the kind of families that make our nation worth defending.

So women, don’t believe those who told you that you aren’t equal in order to infect you with their bad consciences. You aren’t naked. You have no reason to be ashamed. God has clothed you in the garment of being a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother, vocations that shine differently but just as brightly as the vocations of son, brother, husband, and father.

In the eyes of God, you are just as valuable and precious as any man in this world because God has designed you to share gifts with the world that no man can share. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that, for you to be equal and complete, you need to have a gun shoved in your hand as bullets fly by your head. Don’t believe anyone who says that, for women to have the glory they already possess, women must become like men.
