The Bible teaches that women are equal to men as human beings,
albeit with different roles to play in the home and in society, and with
different strengths. Man, having been made stronger than woman by the Creator,
has been made by Him to be the provider and the protector. To husbands the Lord
commands: “giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being
heirs together of the grace of life” (1 Pet. 3:7); and, “Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.... So
ought men to love their wives as their own bodies” (Eph. 5:25-28). No man should
ever treat a woman with contempt, or abuse her in any way. All women should be
treated with respect and gentleness by men.
In heathen societies untouched by Gospel influence to any great degree, for
thousands of years women were, and still are, treated with contempt, as virtual
slaves, existing merely for the service and pleasure of men, without equality
before the law, possessions to be owned rather than precious human beings to be
treasured. It was, in fact, only the influence of Christianity in certain
societies that elevated the status of women, and caused men to treat them with
dignity and respect. This can be seen in the gentlemanly attitude of men to
women in those western countries deeply influenced by Christianity in the past,
i.e. particularly in western Protestant countries. In such lands, women were
viewed as weaker human beings, who should be protected, and treated with
courtesy and kindness. This produced the kind of manners that once characterized
men in much of western society: standing up when a woman entered the room,
opening the door for her, pulling out a chair for her, taking off or tipping
one’s hat to her, etc. And these societies were the better for it. And it was
also in societies and countries influenced to a large extent by Christianity,
that women were given many freedoms of which their sisters in other lands knew
nothing. For in these societies men realized that it was simply not right to
treat women as second-class citizens. And so they uplifted the status of women
more and more. But then came the feminist movement.
Certain women decided to become far more radical and to make unreasonable and
ridiculous demands, in a militantly aggressive fashion. And thus the radical
feminist movement was born. And what many fail to understand is that as this
sinister movement promotes the view that women in Western society have been and
still are enslaved by men, and that men, and the family structure, are evils
from which women need to be emancipated, it is in fact nothing less than a
branch of Marxism with the sinister objective of destroying the very concept and
structure of the family!
A
Militant Agenda Against Men
Radical feminists are anti-family by being anti-men,
anti-husbands, anti-fathers, and anti-gender-roles that have been in place since
God created man and woman and that have been practiced for 6000 years. They have
a militant agenda, and in pursuit of it they want to eradicate the two-parent
family. And the reason they want to destroy it is this: “According to their
Marxist view of things, the family is a repository of gender-oppression. Men are
bourgeois; women are proletariat. Such notions, however contrived and
unoriginal, took academia by storm in the 1980s and even more so in the
1990s.”Radical feminism is an entire worldview: they view all aspects of life
through the lens of gender. These radicals are absurd in their theories, but
deadly serious. For example, they attack true science simply because there are
(and always have been) far more men in scientific fields than women. One radical
feminist claimed that the ideas of Newton and Bacon about scientific method were
a “rape manual”, because they spoke of “penetrating” nature’s secrets.
A radical feminist
named Catherine A. MacKinnon made the astounding claim that voluntary sexual
intercourse could be compared with rape, because in a male-dominated,
patriarchal, heterosexist society, the line between voluntary consent and
coercion is blurred. Radical feminists have even claimed that Beethoven composed
his masterpiece, “Ode to Joy”, to induce men into a sexual frenzy. This is the
kind of “academic contribution” the world can do without, being utterly insane;
yet radical feminists take this garbage seriously, the chips on their shoulders
are so huge. Truly, “feminism is a secular religion with its own high
priestesses, dogmas, and initiation rituals. Its creation myth holds that on the
first day Goddess created Eve, and all was right with the world. But that
idyllic state was shattered when first patriarch Adam stumbled into the Garden,
pounded on the table, and demanded his apple.” Yes, for these bitter and twisted
women, men are the root of all evil. They constantly harp on and on about
society being “male-dominated” and “patriarchal”. They hate this, and fight
against it with all their might. And woe betide anyone who dares to disagree
with them. In their extreme, hate-filled and militant radicalism, they have been
dubbed “feminazis”.
The feminist movement has declared war on men. “All manner of unpleasant things
that happen to women are blamed on those linear-thinking, knuckle-dragging
males.” Men, who fight wars to protect women, who go out into the workplace and
by the sweat of their brows earn money to feed their families, are now viewed as
uncouth monsters, women-oppressors, holding women back from “achieving their
full potential”, interested only in abusing women and enslaving them. “The
feminist jihad”, author Carey Roberts notes, has “indicted the entire male
species for Crimes against Womankind.” Their “litany of grievances”, as Roberts
points out, is never-ending. For example, one of their pet grievances is that
husbands are considered the head of the family. As he humorously puts it,
“Sometimes these men are known to actually encourage their wives to stay within
the credit card limit and to stay out of cat fights. Yes, silly, that’s what
leadership is all about.” Another grievance is that men don’t listen to their
wives. “And considering all the women who rant and rave about patriarchal
oppression, maybe they’re not worth listening to.”
The fact is, the man is the head of the family. This fact is a very stubborn one
– it just won’t go away, despite the concerted efforts of the radical feminist
movement. It is clearly laid out in Holy Scripture. “But I would have you know,
that... the head of the woman is the man” (1 Cor. 11:3). “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. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husbands in every thing” (Eph. 5:23,24). “Unto the woman
he said... thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”
(Gen. 3:16). The man has been the head of the family since the world began, by
the appointment of the Creator, and it’s not going to change now just because
some female hotheads with an axe to grind try to overturn the biblical order and
6000 years of human history.
And the fact is, most of the world is patriarchal. This fact, too, is a very
stubborn one, and it won’t go away. The world is led by males. It always has
been. This is in accordance with the will of God. From the very beginning, men
have been the primary breadwinners, the government-creators, the thinkers and
the muscle behind the advance of civilization. These are the facts, and facts
are very stubborn things. This is not by any means to say that women have
contributed nothing, or that they are incapable of contributing anything. There
have been great women throughout history. But women in leadership positions have
always been in the minority, not because they are dumber than men (they
certainly are not), and not because they have been held back in many societies:
the truth is that most women, even today in this age of “women’s liberation”, do
not want to be in positions of great leadership. Their ambitions lie elsewhere,
for the most part, and let us be ever thankful that this is so, for in this way
men and women complement each other, just as the Lord God intended (Gen.
3:16-19). Throughout history it has been primarily men who have governed, men
who have provided, men who have led. The man is the breadwinner and protector,
the woman is the homemaker. This is why women do not make good soldiers.
For 6000 years,
men have been the soldiers. This is as it should be. God made man to be the
protector, not woman. This is not her role. She should not be wielding a gun on
the border to defend the folks back home. It’s not her place, and she’s not
equipped by the Creator for it. The man is. Period. She is not as physically
strong, and she cannot do what a male soldier can do. Western countries have
been caving in to the militant feminist agenda, and filling soldiers’ barracks
with women. But to do this, they have to lower the standards for women soldiers,
and in the process lower the combat capability and readiness of the army itself.
What’s more, most men do not want to be protected by women. It goes against the
natural order of things, the divine order, and they are intensely uncomfortable
with it because deep down they know it’s not the way things ought to be.
Speaking personally, as an African who loves to spend time in the wild African
bush, I would feel intensely uncomfortable if I was on a hike through a game
park that was led by, and under the protection of, a female game ranger with a
high-powered rifle slung over her shoulder. I simply do not want my life to be
in the hands of a lady with a gun if we were to be charged by a lion or an
elephant. Nothing against ladies with firearms – I believe they should know how
to defend themselves.
But I am extremely
uncomfortable with the idea of standing there helplessly while a woman, whom by
upbringing and conviction I believe I should be protecting and not the other way
around, shoves me and any other hikers behind her for protection as she prepares
to do battle with whatever dangerous animal erupts from the bush. Call me
old-fashioned, but some things just ought not to be. And if they were honest and
their feminist womenfolk gave them permission to say what they really felt, most
men would agree with me.
As Carey Roberts put it, again with some humour: “Men provided the raw muscle
power and ingenuity that became the engine for a booming economy. Patriarchs,
also known as primary breadwinners, provided sustenance and stability to their
families. And male leadership enabled our country [this is said of the USA, but
true of many other western, Protestant-influenced countries as well] to prevail
through two World Wars and the Great Depression. These events left an indelible
mark on the men who pulled us through those terrible times. These brave souls
can be forgiven if they sometimes burp without covering their mouth or find it
hard to talk about their feelings.” Precisely. Feminists may want men to be more
feminine (and I’ll have more to say about that a little later), to “get in touch
with their feminine side” (as if they have one), and to have better manners; but
men are men and women are women, and in many ways “ne’er the twain shall meet”.
For the fact is, men and women are different. Another stubborn fact that just
won’t go away, no matter how hard the feminists try. The sexes are not the same.
Men excel in some fields, women in others. Women can conceive and give birth to
babies. Men cannot do this. Women love to claim that they can do two or more
things at once, which men can’t. Perhaps they’re right about this. If they are,
this is another area where women and men are not the same. And this is good. The
Lord did not make them the same!
When the Lord created woman, He provided man with a lovely creature who would
teach man, by her very presence no less than by her words, to give thought to
such things as manners, kindness, gentleness, consideration for others, etc. As
such, she has been an immense blessing to man. But to feminise men? To turn them
into carbon copies of women? Their roles on this earth are different. Men are
designed by the Creator to be masculine, rougher around the edges, tougher than
women. The old children’s verse has a lot of truth in it: “What are little boys
made of? Snakes and snails and puppy dogs’ tails. And what are little girls made
of? Sugar and spice and all things nice.” True, both men and women are depraved
sinners; but in their general deportment and conduct women have generally been
softer, gentler. And this is how it should be. This is of the Lord.
Let us consider the effects of radical feminism on women; on men; and on boys.
The Effects of
Radical Feminism on Women
Although women’s libbers think they’re now “free”, in truth the very opposite is
the case: they are in fact enslaved to feminism itself. And it is a hard
taskmaster indeed. Consider the facts:
Has feminism actually helped women? Truly helped them? Have their lives been
made better? Many would argue that it has – they can now go into the workplace,
and do virtually any job a man can do; etc., etc. But in reality, are women’s
lives truly better, as regards quality of life? The answer is a decided No. In
the words of Nancy Levant, author of The Cultural Devastation of American Women,
“why are American women, whose culture and males allowed them to have freedom
from gender bondage, so incredibly stupid with their freedom?” She is right, and
it’s true not only of American women. Yes, women are now free – but in what
ways? Just think about the so-called “freedoms” western women now have:Levant
writes: “We are free to take vanity to bizarre standards and measures – those
created by the beauty, health, and media industries – that mandate skeletal
thinness, life-long photo-youth looks, tanning bed skin color, Botox shots in
the face, fake breasts, fake fingernails”. Is this true freedom?
Surely not. Women
are not free, they are now enslaved to the fashion industry.
“We are also free,” writes Levant, “to become useless in our homes. We now hire
maid services, landscapers, pool cleaners, painters, interior decorators, cooks,
nannies, teachers and tutors, caterers, therapists, party planners, massage
therapists, laundry services, etc., while losing every intuitive instinct of our
female natures.” Supposedly “liberated” women now hire people to do all the
things every woman once did for herself in her own home – and very competently,
too. And now, having nothing to do except join their men in the rat-race of the
workplace or mooch around bored in their own homes because all domestic duties
are taken care of by others, they turn to extra-marital affairs and increasingly
bizarre behaviour. Is this true freedom? No – they are enslaved to the
workplace, and yet think they are free to “pursue their careers”. Millions of
men have always bemoaned the drudgery of having to go out and earn their bread
in the sweat of their brows, in accordance with the curse of the Lord God upon
man when he sinned (Gen. 3:17-19); and now women are joining them in that
difficult existence. Desiring to escape the curse upon the woman (Gen. 3:16),
the daughters of Eve have mistakenly thought that the curse upon the man was
somehow a lighter one to bear. They are learning, to their cost, that it is not
so.
They have lost the
art of homemaking as they have rushed to voluntarily place themselves under the
man’s curse. How foolish and how heartbreakingly tragic. This is not to say that
women must never work! Throughout history, all around the world, women have
worked, sometimes because they wanted to and often because they had to. There is
nothing wrong with this. The Bible contains examples of women who worked at
secular employment. But first and foremost, a woman is called to be a homemaker
and a homekeeper. If she works because she wants to, and yet is a wife and
mother, her first and foremost duty is to her husband, her children, and her
home. So many of today’s “liberated” women, however, don’t know how to take care
of a home, raise their children, or create the kind of environment that a
husband would love to come home to. They pursue their careers at the expense of
their families, enchaining themselves to their work desks as if their jobs are
the reason for their existence; as if they are somehow incomplete as human
beings unless they can “show everyone that they can do anything a man can do.”
What a waste.
Women are now “free” to have multiple male sexual partners. Feminism promoted
the idea that women don’t need men to be complete – so large numbers of women
made their careers their everything, not marriage. Nowadays they are referring
to “arrangements” with men rather than relationships. “Steering clear of what
they define as ‘sticky, mushy relationships’ these girls prefer to schedule
their men in when they have time to see them!” They are now “free” to prevent
pregnancies by popping abortifacient pills, or, if they happen to fall pregnant,
they are now “free” to jettison the human results of their promiscuity via
abortion. Society is now full of women secretly carrying the terrible guilt for
what they have done to their unborn children. Pro-abortion doctors try to
convince everyone that abortion is not murder, but deep down most people know
that it is. If not before the abortion, then often afterwards. Not all have
abortions, of course; but because they mock the institution of marriage, and
sleep around with multiple partners, they usually end up having children out of
wedlock – children all too often unwanted and unloved. So, after a long day’s
work at the office, these women return home to a house without a man, but a
house in which there are children they can hardly handle because they never
really see them. They are being raised by others. All this leads to stress, and
utter exhaustion for women, and of course is devastating to the children. They
grow up without fathers, in State-controlled educational centres, being
indoctrinated into the new world order.
As Levant puts it: “We are free to have extra-marital affairs, multiple lovers,
to abort children... to use men like ATMs... and to take thousands upon
thousands of family dollars for personal use in our missions to look like (and
act like) teenagers. “We are free to have children with as many men as we
choose, and to bankrupt multiple men with mandatory child support payments. We
are then free to ignore children by paying far more attention to maid-cleaned,
spotless, and magazine-cover homes, where no cooking is achieved, no family
memories are created, and no shoes are allowed to be worn on the white
carpets.... We are free to give our children computer software to keep them
addictively occupied for YEARS, and then complain about their lack of social
skills.
“We are free to completely ignore the FACT that our children are SUFFERING with
mean-spirited and incompetent mothers – children who are hungry, starved for
attention, and mistreated by non-stop extracurricular sports regimens,
drive-thru bags of dangerous food, teachers and public school indoctrination
camps, completely ignored spiritual needs, and disrespect and contempt of their
children’s fathers.” Summarising all this, she states: “So another question begs
– what does liberation mean to American women? [and not just American women! –
S.W.]. Does it mean the freedom to vote? Freedom from historical gender bondage?
Freedom from ownership? I don’t think so. Today’s American female is free to be
an idiot – a shallow, self-involved, pathologically vain, completely
incompetent, and angry person – angry to the tune of making the anti-depressant
industry the largest profit maker, bar none, for big pharma. Stupid is what
stupid does.” Exactly.
I would add another question: why is it that these things are discerned by the
journalists and writers quoted here, but not by so many professing Christian
women (and men)? It seems that professing “Christians” are so caught up in
making money, having fun, and living selfishly, that they are blind to the
terrible reality that’s staring them in the face every time they return home to
their children. They are just so busy: busy going to the beauty salon, busy
soaking up the soapies on TV, busy making money. Are these the fruits of true
salvation?
There is no true freedom without freedom to dissent. And you can’t disagree with
these feminazis! They are arrogant, rude, crude, militantly organised, and they
expect every woman – and man – on the planet to agree with them and support
their cause and agenda. And those who don’t are insulted, sometimes assaulted,
shouted down, ridiculed, and ostracised. Thus women, who naively think they have
been “liberated” from “slavery” to men, have in fact been enslaved by the very
movement that claims to have liberated them! They are not free to differ with
these radical fanatics. They must go along with the agenda – or else.
In another article Nancy Levant writes: “I suggest to you that the ‘liberation’
you [i.e. women] have achieved through the misguidance of the feminist movement
is false. I suggest that Westernized women are often miserable, overworked, and
suffering due to separation from their children. Think of it this way – the
feminist movement actually believed they could change the fundamental meaning
and purpose of womanhood, biological and instinctual gendering, and that they
could culturally remove children from mothers, and call it ‘liberation.’ You are
equally liberated to destroy any children that you don’t want. Wow. I guess that
means that you have a great deal of power. Congratulations. It is far greater to
be a drugged laborer than a mother. Let us thank the feminist movement for
making this clear to us dim-witted females.”
This is not liberation, it’s bondage! It’s bondage to the movement itself,
bondage to the drudgery of the workplace, and most of all, bondage to sin. But
they don’t see it. They think they’re free! “I’m free to do as I please with my
body.” “I’m free to go to work, earn my own money, live as I like.” “I’m free to
live with any man I like, marry and divorce as I please.” “I’m free to abort my
baby, or hand him over to the State to raise in the State’s image.”
The Effects of
Radical Feminism on Men
The feminisation of society is having a hugely negative impact on men. It has
turned men into effeminate weaklings! They are not allowed to be truly
masculine, as such masculinity is seen to be “assertiveness” over women; they
are not even allowed to have the manners of earlier generations of “gentlemen”,
as this is seen as condescending to women. And thus we have this new, feminised,
androgynous creature called the “metrosexual”, who shaves off his chest hair and
is supposedly “in touch with his feminine side”. Even paints his toe nails at
times. A man cannot be allowed to be masculine anymore; yet “liberated” women,
supposedly as tough as men, their attitude being “I can do anything a man can
do”, are now supposed to demonstrate masculine qualities! Truly, it’s an
upside-down world.
There are of
course many reasons for the breakdown of the institution of marriage in society
today, but this is certainly one of them: feminism has made men shy away from
the commitment of marriage, or even from the very attempt to find a woman to
marry; for if a man shows any interest whatsoever in a woman, she is liable to
slap him with a “sexual harassment” lawsuit even for the most innocent of
conversations, and this will ruin his life – even if he’s eventually found
innocent. Then too, there is the fear of getting married, and then at some point
having the wife take the husband to the divorce court over some small matter and
being so favoured by the women-friendly judicial system that the financial
settlement of the courts leaves him with next to nothing. Women are now using
their new-found favouritism in the courts to their advantage, making life
utterly miserable for their men while knowing that the men cannot do anything
about it, or they will be in trouble with the law. Women openly admit to using
emotional blackmail to get their way, knowing that the law is all on the woman’s
side and men are increasingly too afraid to do anything about it. They demand
equal rights, but do not want to have equal responsibilities. Instead, whenever
anything goes wrong, it can conveniently be blamed on the man; and courts are
supporting this. Women are seen as “victims” who have done no wrong; it’s all
the man’s fault. As one South African man put it: “Women feel superior to us
men because of the rights that have been given to them and they often
misinterpret their rights to mean that they have the right to do anything and
men should not oppose them.”
And thus the God-created order has been overturned: women are now in charge, and
men have been turned into their obedient, apologetic servants. And in the
process, the God-ordained institution of marriage has been cast aside. Even in
many marriage vows nowadays, the woman no longer promises to “obey” her husband.
This is seen as old-fashioned and oppressive. And so-called “churches” are
content to buckle to society’s pressures and go along with this!
And yet the irony is, astoundingly, that even though the feminist movement is so
rabidly anti-male, all the freedoms and privileges women presently enjoy in
society were granted to them by men! Just ponder this fact for a minute. Women
did not win these things by their own efforts. They did not stage a revolution
or fight a war against men to gain them. They are not physically strong enough
to win a war against men, or for that matter to force men to do anything.
Feminists can jubilantly and triumphantly scream and shout all they like about
“girl power” and “sisters doin’ it for themselves”, but it’s all hogwash. They
did not beat men into submission and force them to grant them their present
freedoms and equality. Men decided to give them these things. If men had not
voluntarily decided to do so, women would not be able to enjoy a single one of
them. That’s a fact. And yet feminists hate men, they hate the very ones who
voluntarily gave women all the freedoms they presently enjoy in western society!
Freedoms, let it be said, which are utterly unknown to women in many other
societies of the world.
These bitter
radical feminists have been very successful in convincing society that they are
“persecuted” and “discriminated against” and all the rest, in this
“male-dominated, patriarchal” society. Well, it might have been such a society
once (and the world was a better one for it), but it certainly isn’t so today:
in almost every sphere in western society today, men are in retreat, and women
are being favoured, promoted, advantaged. But instead of gratitude to western
men who turned the tables in their favour, they are bitter, angry, and
vindictive.
Women in the west have more “rights”, more freedoms, than any other women in the
world, past or present – and yet still these female fanatics whine and complain
and demand more and still more. If they want to know what real oppression and
drudgery and suffering is, they should live for a while in a Middle Eastern
society, or in certain African or Asian societies. But no – they would rather
stay in their comfortable western lands, with all their freedoms and
conveniences, and whine about being “oppressed” and “held back” in their
“male-dominated, patriarchal” society. The very same “male-dominated,
patriarchal” society, let it be noted, that has provided them with the highest
standard of living, and the greatest freedoms, that any society anywhere in the
world has ever enjoyed since the world began.
The Effects of Radical Feminism on Boys
What about the effects of feminism on boys? The feminisation of men starts with
the feminisation of young boys. This has been well-put in an article by Carey
Roberts. Ponder his words:
“Forty years ago the National Organization for Women was founded. That marked
the beginning of an unholy jihad to deconstruct masculinity. Now, a low-level
hostility to all things macho pervades our culture. “A toddler is warned that
pointing his finger in the shape of a gun will earn him 10 minutes of time-out.
No dump trucks or military figures sully the serenity of his play area. ‘Go play
with your Ken-and-Barbie set,’ his gender-enlightened parents console him.“Want
to come out and play Cops and Robbers? Forget it, little boy!...“During the
Saturday morning cartoons, he’ll marvel at Wonder Woman and Firestar who easily
vanquish their male assailants...“At school, junior is informed that tag was
banned because it promotes competition and aggressiveness, and recess may be
coming next.
“In history class he learns memorable facts such as the West was won by brave
teenage girls, Sacagawea led the Lewis and Clark expedition, and Mary Todd
Lincoln endured great hardships during the Civil War.
“If our aspiring man wants to play high school sports, he may be enlightened,
‘Sorry, but not enough girls signed up for field hockey this year.’ If he
mentions the sex bias of Take Your Daughter to Work Day, the female principal is
likely to take him aside and warn him those remarks are creating a hostile
environment for the girls.”Larry Pratt, director of Gun Owners of America, said:
“One reason so many feminists are such angry sourpusses is that God made boys
and girls different, and while feminist meddling can have a negative impact, it
cannot rewire what the Creator has made. For example, it really enrages these
angry gals when boys are given dolls to play with and they turn around and use
the doll’s arm as a gun ‘Bang!’ Conversely, girls take that Tonka Truck and make
a crib for their baby doll in the bed of the truck. Aaaargh! Normal people
(non-feminists) tend to react to these ingrained behavior patterns with a
‘Duh!’”
Yes, boys and girls are different. The Lord has made them different, and He has
done so for a reason. From childhood already, these differences become very
readily apparent. But thanks to the feminist movement, little boys are now being
turned into effeminate creatures. They are growing up to believe that girls and
women rule the world – and moreover that this is how it should be. They are
being taught that males have brought nothing but misery to the world, that the
true history of females has been suppressed but is at last coming to the fore as
the history books are being rewritten, and that the role of boys and men in
society is to live in perpetual guilt for being males. Society is being
re-programmed in the image of Woman.
It is vitally important for Christian parents to fight back against this radical
feminisation of society. They need to teach their boys to be boys, and their
girls to be girls. They must teach their boys to be masculine and their girls to
be feminine. They must teach them about the God-ordained roles of men and women.
Remember the days when boys used to take risks, play cops and robbers, play
hunters in the woods, shoot pellet guns, go fishing, and come home with their
knees scraped and all covered in dirt? This is what little boys are made of! And
it’s all excellent training for adult life. Now look around you: where are such
boys today? They’re sitting inside with their eyes glued to the TV or to dumb
computer games, their brains in neutral, and if they go outside at all they are
first kitted out with more protective wear than a soldier going to war.
The Destruction of the Family in Accordance with
Marxist Objectives
So: what has feminism achieved?
It has destroyed the concept of different roles for each member of the family,
based on biblical truth. The husband is no longer seen as the head of the home –
the pushy, bossy woman is in charge, the effeminate husband has no backbone, and
the children are out of control, disrespectful, lazy, undisciplined, with no
sense of responsibility and a huge sense of entitlement. And that’s in the homes
where a husband still exists. Feminism, quite simply, has destroyed the family.
It has achieved what it set out to do. And most women and men are so
conditioned, so brainwashed by their television sets, that they don’t even know
what has happened, or why. And all of this plays into the hands of the
Communistic one-worlders behind the scenes. For in their ceaseless quest for a
Marxist world, they know that the family unit must be wiped out. They want to
destroy the family, they want children to grow up without that God-ordained
support structure, and in a State-controlled educational facility, and they want
people to grow old all alone, without the loving companionship of a spouse or
the care of their children – so that they can be more easily manipulated and
controlled! It’s all about people control. It is Marxism at work. And it is
working extremely well.
This was admitted by someone in the Rockefeller clan, which is a major player
amongst those seeking to create a one-world government. When Aaron Russo, author
of America: Freedom to Fascism, spoke in support of the women’s movement to this
person, the reply was: “We...created the women’s movement, and we promote it.
And it’s not about equal opportunity. It’s designed to get both parents out of
the home and into the workforce, where they will pay taxes. And then we can
decide how the children will be raised and educated.” Another vital part of the
one-worlders’ plan is population control. And this explains their fanatical
support for abortion the world over. This is why the feminist movement is so
intent upon promoting abortion worldwide, under the guise of “a woman’s right to
do as she pleases with her own body”. Calling it “Planned Parenthood” is a
cover. If they were honest, it would be called “Planned Population Reduction”.
Foolish western women who blithely, and blindly follow the utterances of the
high priestesses of the feminist movement are nothing but useful idiots for the
one-worlder’s cause! “If American women [and indeed, western women in general! –
S.W.] weren’t so glued to their mirrors, anti-depressants, angers, and ill
health due to life-long diets, they might realize that massive population
reduction, and its connection to global politics and the pharmaceutical and
‘health’ industries, is MANDATED. The feminist movement has been pushing
depopulation under the guises of ‘women’s rights’ for decades. Now, ladies, it’s
not so much of a stretch to understand the connection between abortion ‘rights,’
reproductive legislation, and the mental health movement, which specifically
targets women and children, to realize that other ‘agendas’ are afoot and off
and running. When you are talking about massive global population reduction, you
are, in fact, talking about the control of women, their bodies, their
unalienable and biological rights to pregnancies and babies, and marriage.”
All this drove Levant to write: “And to the world’s feminists – I say this: You
are the dumbest women who have ever walked on the face of the Earth. Week by
week, day by day, you are losing every right you thought you invented. You fell
hook, line, and sinker into the dialectic, and you are nothing but dictator
pawns to the larger mission of total control over people and freedom. What a
shame when arrogance literally beats brains useless. What a crime and a shame
when you brutally victimize the very people you claim to represent – much like
all other destroyers of human freedom.”
Yes, the irony of it all is that the feminist movement, while purporting to be
all about freeing women from “bondage” to men, has in fact brought women into
bondage to the feminist movement, which is itself nothing but a puppet of the
advocates of global people-control. Women have become slaves, in the name of
freedom! The plan has been diabolically clever: keep women (and men) so
engrossed in themselves, and in entertainment, that they don’t see what is
happening to themselves and their families; fill their every waking moment with
careers, and beauty treatments, and entertainment, so that they have no time in
the day to truly think and are too exhausted at night to be able to read and
think and see through the smokescreen; keep them so busy, tired and unhappy that
they feel they can’t cope and must attend “therapy” sessions with some so-called
“expert”, who’s really as mixed-up and confused as they are but who has the
authority to dope them up with medication that perpetuates their zombie-like
state and thus keeps them from ever thinking for themselves, or reading for
themselves, and thus figuring out what’s actually going on. Keep their children
away from them as much as possible, via State educational facilities and
after-care facilities, and hours of homework, and sports, and hours of TV and
musical entertainment, so that although they pass each other in the same house,
parents and children are really leading separate lives and are essentially
strangers to each other. And to top it all, call all this “women’s liberation”,
the freedom to do as she pleases, to live her life the way she wants to!
Conclusion
Radical feminism is rebellion, plain and simple. Rebellion against the God-given
order. It is a rebellion that is destroying western society. And it is a trap
into which even professing Christians are liable to fall, if they are not on
their guard. The crying need of the times is for Christians to be well taught
about what the Word of God says about the roles of husbands, wives, and
children, and to put it into practice; to understand what true womanhood and
true manhood is all about. Remember the commandment of Holy Scripture: “Thou
shalt not follow a multitude to do evil” (Exod. 23:2). Go against the grain!
Swim against the tide! Let your own life, and your family structure, be a
reflection of the biblical pattern! “Be not conformed to this world” (Rom.
12:2)!
Human nature being what it is, we just never get the right balance. Not wanting
women to be the virtual slaves they are in various Middle Eastern countries,
western society has swung the pendulum so far in the other direction that
“freedom” for women means licence to live lower than animals if they want. Which
would we rather have? Women as virtual slaves, or women fornicating, aborting
their children, and using their acquired power to grind men underfoot? Frankly,
I don’t want either extreme. The unregenerate are destined to always swing from
one extreme to the other. Only in Christ is the right balance set out, and
maintained: the husband as the head of the home, the provider and protector; the
wife as the homemaker; the children in their proper place, under parental care
and guidance until they are adults. This alone is the God-ordained pattern, and
the only key to true and lasting happiness.
