According to the Apostle Paul, making sandwiches is part of the God-given role of a woman. So says Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho.
“There are sex roles and rules, and the fundemental sex rule is that we must respect the authority of the one who designed it all,” said Wilson in a video titled, “The Natural Use of the Woman.” He continued, “It follows that [God] knows where everything goes and where everyone should go. This applies to the basic facts of biology. God says to the woman, ‘You are the woman, and so you shall have the babies.’ This also applies in areas that some consider less obvious: ‘You are the man, and so when there is a loud noise downstairs in the middle of the night, you are the one who must go check.’”

Douglas Wilson’s Marriage Advice for ‘Dawson’
Douglas Wilson’s video is 14 minutes of advice addressed to a fictional nephew of his named “Dawson.” The style is reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’ “Screwtape Letters.” Wilson’s purpose is to help Dawson pursue a biblical marriage, and the pastor spends his time discussing the evils of egalitarianism as opposed to a belief in the created differences between men and women as Wilson sees them.
