SEXISM...
These next few articles will be about how sexism is dividing the genders apart and only creating hatred between genders, the very groups that speak out against sexism are having a counter affect and creating more sexism, these movements being the Feminist Movement and the Male Rights Activists Movement (M.R.A.) I will be starting my article by debunking...
FEMINISM...
Yes, I am an Anti-Feminist. Why? Because Feminism doesn't support gender equality like it says it does. Instead it promotes female supremacy, matriarchy. Feminists will often stay away from the Christian or Islamic religions because they believe they are the proliferation of a patriarchal male-dominated religion that has historically silenced women in the church and taken their rights away in society to reduce them to no more than a Broodmare. Well, this rings true for Islam...…
Surah 4:34 - "Men are in charge of women by right of what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend for maintenance from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in the husband's absence what Allah would have them guard. But those wives from whom you fear arrogance - first advise them; then if they persist, forsake them in bed; and finally, strike them. But if they obey you once more, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand."
Now let's compare to Christianity...
Colossians 3:19 - "Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them."
Funny how in America today the Feminist Movement attacks Christianity more than Islam... And how the Feminist Movement focuses more on the "War on Women in America" when there is a real war on women in the Middle-East. Now, before I get jumped on, I would like to point out that I am a born and raised All-American Girl.
The Feminist Movement focuses on very petty issues when there is real female oppression in the Middle-East... While women have to hide their faces, aren't allowed to drive or receive education... Here in America the Feminist movement fights for the right to kill her own unborn child —and not for justified reasons, because rape is only 1% of abortions, only 6% because of fetal or maternal health— Feminists also fight for the right that birth control and abortions be paid for by the Government, the un-existing wage gap, justifying dressing like a whore, complaining about rape culture after justifying dressing up like whores, all while trying to feminize our male youth and discriminate against men as far as Political-Correctness and Child Custody is concerned. Some Feminists groups seek to reduce the male population by 90% Globally... Don't believe me? Type it in your search engine... The "Femitheist" is a 22-year-old criminology student named Krista who has a three-year-old child and has advocated for an International "Castration Day."
Which is ironic considering it is more likely for a female to be aborted over a male in foreign countries. Only 5% of abortions in the U.S. are even potentially gender related, because only 5% occur when it is likely the mother knows the baby's gender. I hasten to point out that "only 5%" of the 1.6 Million abortions annually is still a tragedy. 42% of female fetuses are aborted compared to 25% of male fetuses worldwide, mainly in Middle-Eastern countries and China who prefer a boy to carry on family name, this is due to One Child Policy. See the REAL oppression, American Feminists? In the U.S., only a small percentage of abortions happen when it is even likely that the mother knows her unborn baby's gender, and there is no evidence that either gender is aborted more often.
It is funny in a sad sense that when a father doesn't want to take responsibility for his child, he is a deadbeat dad... But when a woman doesn't want to take responsibility for her child, it is her choice. We have given more rights to the pregnant woman, since they are allowed to have the right to kill a human in the early stages of life. Feminism has seemed not to bring strong, mature, independent women, but instead has brought irresponsible, selfish, whorish women into our society. Nothing disgusts me more than these counter affects... While Feminism promotes women to have confidence in their womanhood, it actually reduces it and brainwashes you that you are a victim because of your gender and that you have to masculinize yourself to get respect, to get a job and do everything a man does. This isn't taking confidence in your gender... If women had confidence and respect for themselves... There wouldn't be 1.6 Million abortions yearly, there wouldn't be women unhappy in their workplace as they grow old and alone...
The problem with Feminism is it is going against what a woman's heart is hardwired for... Every girl has played house and played with babydoll, because that is our calling, our role in society and the problem with Feminism is it is not teaching women to feel empowered and proud for this role as a Homemaker... Even if you want to be a career woman, so be it, but don't go getting pregnant and aborting a child if you want a career. You can't have your cake and eat it too, so to speak. If the Feminist Movement really supports a woman's choice... Why is it when a woman chooses to be a Housewife, she gets disrespected or at least less respect from the Feminist Movement than a working woman does? This is not equality or respect of a woman's choice... I personally have felt this.
As always, it is one of the most contradictory movements I've seen. Most hypocritical. Most unpleasant. This is no longer a place where women get treated as a second-class citizen, quite the contrary, as women we can vote, we can drive, we can seek education and everything else we desire... And I support for us to have all these rights, some women get a abandoned by an un-Godly man and need to support themselves, this is why we need the right to find work, but... What I don't support is grown women still remaining to act like children when we are equal with men in American society... So what is the Feminist Movement still fighting for? Whatever it is, it is destroying young women physically and emotionally, not to mention spiritually... As we see the Feminist Movements symbol is an inverted cross... A Satanic Symbol...
Let's look at God's intended role for women since it is so commonly misunderstood and ignored because of political-correctness... Let's first establish that God loves us all, no matter our gender or race, we are all equal...
Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
But just because we are equal, doesn't mean we have the same roles to play in this World. We all have a duty that we must fulfill. Just like in an Army, some are Generals, some are Captains, some are Lieutenants. Just because we have a lower rank, does not mean we are any less valuable. Quite the contrary, because without women, generals cannot be born. Without lower-ranking officers, there is no one for the general to lead, there is no military. Women are needed in this life and we have a duty to do in this life. I would like to turn to Scripture now to emphasize my point...
1 Peter 3:7 - Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Now many women or rather Feminists would be angered by this verse because it calls women 'weaker' even though this is an attribute that is undeniable for the majority, it is just how we were made, men tend to be the stronger gender... But just because they are stronger, doesn't mean women cannot be strong themselves. It takes a very strong woman to deny sin and juggle the standards God asks her to live up to. Just because we are weaker, doesn't mean we are not strong or needed... We are... Now compare 1 Peter 3:7 to 1 Corinthians 12:22...
1 Corinthians 12:22 - Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
Feeble or weaker are still necessary or essential in the body of Christ. Men are the head and women are the body, but without the body the head cannot operate, just as the body cannot operate without the head. Ephesians 5:23. This is structure, this is organization, discipline... Something needed in any family, church or organization. If you wish to rebel against order and usurp leadership than everything gets thrown into chaos and you hold your "team" down. Holding them back from progressing. So let's not be immature, but accept our role with empowerment, doing the best we can in our set jobs and responsibilities given.
Genesis 3:16 - "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
We see the first wife was disobedient, let's strive as Christian women today to be more pleasing onto The Lord our God... Let's read the rest of 1 Peter 3:1-7...
1 Peter 3:1-7 - "1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, 2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered."
So first of all we are to be obedient onto our husbands, if you do not have a husband you are to be directly obedient unto God. 1 Corinthians 7:32-34. Marry if you need a loving partner or burn in sexual desire. 1 Corinthians 7:9. If you are a child you are to be obedient to both your parents. Second, women are not to adorn themselves, meaning we are not to be focused on outwardly beauty, but to be focused on inward beauty that is a quiet spirit, meek, gentle, loving. Both genders are not to be focused on vanity actually, goes for you men as well. Ephesians 4:7. Then we notice in 1 Peter 3:7 that men are ALSO called to honor their wives, not be harsh with them, but give them respect. We all have a role to follow... This Holy Book is obviously not sexist, but giving commands to both men and women... Women to work to take care of the home and men to make money to have a home... 1 Timothy 5:8, 1 Timothy 5:14.
Ephesians 5:22-33 - "22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband."
There are many cults that take these verses out of context by saying that, "You do not have to submit to your husband if he is not Godly, righteous, Christ-like." This is completely un-Biblical and mere rebellion to look for loopholes in the Scripture when the Scripture is clear... Yes, Ephesians 5:25 does say...
Ephesians 5:25 - "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;"
But that doesn't mean just because your husband fails to do his role he is commanded by God to do, doesn't mean you get to justify failing to fulfill your role that God has asked you to do. Be pleasing and grateful onto your Lord that died for you. John 14:15. Do not be looking for loopholes when Scripture is clear...
1 Peter 3:1 - "In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live."
Even if husbands are disobedient, be Godly wives and submissive unto your husbands still. Of course, if your husband commands you to do a direct violation of God's commands such as, "murder this person" or "steal this item" of course you do not have to submit... But do not be looking for loopholes in this commandment of submitting unto your husband, not obeying Godly things your husband asks you to do. Genesis 3:16 said, You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you, it is a hard temptation to deny, wishing to control everything, but we must work together in harmony.
Unnecessary fights break out if we act like spoiled children that always want our way, not holding our tongues causes harm a lot of the time. Also... For those women who are in an abusive marriage, drunkard husbands and etc. If your husband is a threat to your and/or children's life as well as his own, the best thing you can do to serve your husband is to get him professional help. Proverbs 27:5 - "Open rebuke is better than secret love." This meaning that open rebuke is open love, if you are rebuking someone's sin it is love because it is concern for their physical and/or spiritual health. So this verse could be re-worded as open love is better than secret love. Get yourself somewhere safe, then get a professional to handle your spouse.
The only time divorce is allowed is if the covenant of marriage is broken by either partner. Matthew 19:9. Whoever divorces his wife or her husband except for immorality and marries another commits adultery.
1 Corinthians 7:10-16 - "10 To the married I give this command - not I, but the Lord - a wife should not divorce a husband. 11 (but if she does, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband should not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say - I, not the Lord - if a man has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will bring your husband to salvation? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will bring your wife to salvation?"
Now of course this is referring to the already married where both were unbelievers and one spouse becomes a believer, do not divorce, but when you are dating or courting, if you are already a believer you should be dating a Christian. A believer shouldn't marry an unbeliever. 1 Corinthians 7:39. For in many cases it would end in divorce to which is not Godly. There is a 53% rate of divorce in America today, 71% in Belgium. Let's clean up our marriages, people. I think a lot of these marriages are destroyed by Feminist and M.R.A. ideals alike.
Now as far as sexual relations are concerned...
1 Corinthians 7:1-5 - "1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency."
So do not deny each other of sex, which the Quran commands men to do and as Feminism tells women to do. Do not do this, do not deny your partner in marital sex (unless are sick of course with good reason that partner can understand.) And as it is already obvious, polygamy, homosexuality, pedophilia, necrophilia, zoophilia, masochism and/or sadism are perverse acts in the bedroom. Now let's move back unto topic of the woman's role in her marriage...
1 Timothy 2:15 - "Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
We should bear children if able and married...
1 Timothy 2:9-12 - "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet."
So we should not give into vanity and be modest, be quiet, and not teach... Let's expound on not teaching...
Titus 2:3-5 - "Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited."
Philippians 4:3 - "And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life."
And as we see there were Prophetesses in the Bible such as, Anna (Luke 2:36). Deborah (Judges 4:4). 1 Corinthians 11... We see women commanded to cover their head to pray and when prophesying, I'll expound on the head-covering in a future article. It has been a lost practice in the churches since the early 20th Century, when Feminism gained support.
So... Female Pastors are un-Biblical, a woman should not lead an entire church. Some very good examples that are very un-Biblical in doctrine itself are Joyce Meyers and Victoria Osteen. Women are allowed to teach their fellow sisters in Christ and the children, but not the entire congregation. Not men.
To be the woman God intends us to be is in the cliché verse for women, Proverbs 31... This is how a Christian woman should conduct herself, check yourself if you wish to be pleasing unto The Lord.
Proverbs 31:10 - "10 Who can find a wife of noble character? For her value is far more than rubies. 11 The heart of her husband has confidence in her, and he has no lack of gain. 12 She brings him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13 She obtains wool and flax, and she is pleased to work with her hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from afar. 15 She also gets up while it is still night, and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; from her own hand she plants a vineyard. 17 She begins her work vigorously, and she strengthens her arms. 18 She knows that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out in the night. 19 Her hands take hold of the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle. 20 She extends her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hand to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all of her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She makes for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and honor, and she can laugh at the time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also praises her: 29 "Many daughters have done valiantly, but you surpass them all!" 30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD will be praised. 31 Give her credit for what she has accomplished, and let her works praise her in the city gates."
I am not a Feminist, I'm an Equalitarian. You want to be treated like an equal? Act like one. Support the rights of both genders. Stop the complaining and use that fire and will towards something for the better good. This is the 21st century and it isn't getting any better anytime soon, so help the world... Not complain about it... Let's be confident in our role as women and not play the man's role... Deuteronomy 22:5. I, as a woman feel more empowered as a Christian than a Feminist! Women are not victims, we are essential to the world and we need to be strong and play a helping part... We were made to be helpers, not a hindrance. We have our rights, now let's use them to speak out on real issues... Like helping our husbands, helping brothers in Christ deliver The Gospel to save souls. God bless.
