A large number of people followed Him, including women who mourned and wailed for Him. - Luke 23:27
There it is again. Luke didn't have to add the part abut the women who mourned and wailed for Jesus. But, this shows that Jesus had much more respect for women than people of His day. I'm not sure about the average man's treatment of women, but I can tell by Luke's statement that the fact that these women were mourning and wailing was a big deal.
It does make me wonder how Jesus viewed women, like overall. I know, in our twisted world, I sometimes fall into the trap of looking at women not for who they are but what they look like. I wonder if Jesus had the same struggles or if He was able to just look at each person as a person. I wonder if He was truly more focused on the soul of the person than the physical appearance.
Whatever He did, however He did it, these women loved Him. Help me to see women like You see them.
