I've been in a lot of group situations lately, and the topic has come up more and more amongst the women. In a group dinner setting, it's usually the women that volunteer themselves to tackle the dishes. The thing is, most guys would probably do it if you asked them to, but it's rare to see a guy volunteer himself for the job.

I feel like a nagging sister at times, but I always remind my brother to be different. I think the fact that he grew up with 2 older sisters should bear some fruit. But when I see qualities like that in a guy, there's a great sense of appreciativeness and humbleness. As a sister, I want my brother to embody that (especially as he enters ministry).

Christians talk about servanthood a lot, and I'd say for the most part, most people try to do what they can. But it's interesting to see its limits within the Korean church culture.

I'm not here to be all feminist and demand equality in domestic duties. Because the fact of the matter is that there are men out there that are true servants, as there are women that never volunteer either. All I'm saying (and other women agree) is that it would be a refreshing change to see a guy take the initiative from time to time.
