I just listened to "Women in the Word" discussing Acts 2:14-21. I wanted to clarify a statement made about the Jewish men praying, "Thank you, God, for not making me a women." While I agree that the culture was very male oriented. However, that particular prayer, I have been told, means something very different from what it sounds like. There were higher and more obligations placed on men than women. When the men prayed their prayer, they were actually stating that they were thankful that God had put the higher obligations on them and that they would be held to them. They didn't want to have the easier obligations that women had.
