I mean, the women followed Jesus the day of his crucifixion (and he didn't send them away), and the women stayed at the cross (and most of the men fled), and the women went to the guarded tomb to care for the corpse (and the men hid in fear in a locked room), but yeah, I guess... https://twitter.com/vhobbs5/status/1297220374900482049

And Judah was too cowardly to rebuke his son, but Tamar shrewdly righteous and secured offspring.

And Pharaoh feared the Israelites, but Shiphrah and Puah defied him because they feared God.

And Moses fled into the wilderness, but Zipporah took a flint to circumcise their son.

And daughters of Zelophehad stood before the prophet, priests, and chiefs to demand they have an inheritance likes sons.

And Rahab committed treason to hide spies and then lie to the king to defy his order.

And Barak was unwilling to go into battle unless Deborah went with him.

And Gideon hid in a winepress, but Jael invited a general into her tent and crushed his head.

And Elimelech ran to the land of godless people during a famine but Ruth went to Bethlehem a widowed-foreigner and took initiative for leadership, protection, and provision in her home.

And Mary believed the Lord...

And a Canaanite woman pushed back against Jesus...

And a woman of ill-repute went into a room full of self-righteous misogynists to anoint Jesus' feet...

And Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna & many other women traveled with Jesus, even to the end.

And Eunice taught her son the faith despite her husband’s unbelief...

And Lydia welcomed men who were strangers into her home...

And Priscilla corrected a famous preacher...

And Phoebe carried a persecuted apostle's letter explaining a persecuted faith to Rome...

And Euodia and Syntyche labored side-by-side with an Apostle who would get his head cut off...

So, yeah, I guess women are by nature more fearful than men. http://worthybook.org
