Matriarchy and feminist
egalitarianism are curses, not blessings. “As for my people, children are their
oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause
thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Isaiah 3:12) “How long wilt
thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new
thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.” (Jeremiah 31:22) “For this
cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change
the natural use into that which is against nature.” (Romans 1: 26) It is
generally bad on church and society and destructive to relationships when
gender distinctions are ignored or confused.
The movement to confuse
the sexes and gender roles is not new and has always depended on lies,
deception, delusions, and misleading propaganda:
·
When the US government started enlisting
women in the armed forces in 1942, WACs and WAVES did jobs previously handled
by civilian employees of the armed forces and the difference was the uniforms.
Even today, the truth about women in the military is kept under wraps because
disclosure of the whole story could incite public outcry against putting women
in the armed forces. (Further research is strongly encouraged.)
·
For decades feminists have vilified feminine
women and masculine men and (along with other social engineers) demanded that
society and government ignore reality, support delusions, and enforce
egalitarian socialism.
·
The media promotes distorted and evil
values and philosophies through talk shows and pop psychology.
·
Movies and TV shows often portray
different versions of the story of a husband that is such an inept boob that
the wife is compelled to assume leadership in the home, and it is not unusual
for the entertainment media to portray the children in a family as wiser than
the husband and father.
·
Movies and TV shows (and romance novels) often
portray different versions of the story of a man of bad character or extreme
immaturity that just needs the love of a good woman to reform him, convert him,
or make him whole.
·
Movies and TV shows often portray different
versions of the story of a wife that divorces her husband because everything is
not going exactly her way, or because she meets a wonderful man, and goes on
to have a great career and a fulfilling life or a better marriage.
·
Movies and TV shows often portray
different versions of the story of a woman of bad character or extreme
immaturity that is either an ideal wife or a good example for adult women to
emulate or both.
·
The theory that egalitarian partnership is
the key to domestic tranquility and marital happiness has been a recurring
theme in movies and TV shows for a long time. Replacing patriarchal marriage
with egalitarian partnership creates dissatisfaction and frustration for both
husbands and wives by denying a woman's natural need for a father-figure and a
man's need to feel respected. Biblical patriarchy appeals to a man's need for
respect and thus compels a man to love, cherish, and please a woman, and
encourages a woman to respect a man by appealing to her need for love,
affection, and esteem. While feminism pits husband and wife against each other,
biblical patriarchy compels a husband and wife to complement and depend on each
other. God's design for communities, organizations, and the family is hierarchy
with a balance between equality of being and functional subordination.
·
Encouraging women to transfer dependence
from husband or father to the government encouraged men to neglect or forsake
their duties and responsibilities as men and encouraged grown people of both
sexes to act like spoiled children dismissing reality in pursuit of utopian
dreams.
·
The theory that illicit cohabitation is a
good recipe for domestic tranquility and marital happiness has been a recurring
theme in movies and TV shows for a long time, even though couples that live
together before marriage usually end up divorced and a woman shacking up with a
man without wedlock is far more likely to suffer domestic abuse than a married
woman.
·
For decades feminists and the liberal media
have encouraged women to trade their complementary role for equality and mimic
the sexual attitudes, behaviour, and aggressiveness of men. In this way women
relinquished their natural power as the civilizing and stabilizing influence
over men that God designed them to be. While immodesty and promiscuity make
women cheap and disposable and encourage abuse, raising women to the status of
moral superiority over men compels men to respect women. Promiscuity reduces
the female body to a worthless trinket and gives women the same status as
community towels instead of compelling men to cherish women.
·
Feminists and the liberal media continually
portray male conveniences as advantages for women: Artificial insemination
reduces women to the status of incubators and eliminates paternal
responsibility. Birth control diminishes the necessity of commitment and
stability in a relationship. Abortion eliminates the responsibilities of
fatherhood while leaving women physically and emotionally scarred, while
respect for life encourages commitment. Feminism makes abortion, birth control,
and other male conveniences important to discourage female inhibition and encourage
licentiousness and thus supposedly empower women (and merely fulfill male
fantasies and accommodate the baser instincts of men), while biblical
patriarchy condemns such practices which tend to degrade women and reduce or
eliminate male responsibilities.
·
What is the hard evidence that male and
female think and feel the same about sex? The myth about male and female sexual
equality has made women more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, and neglect.
While each gender has just as strong a libido as the other, and both sexes
desire sex and affection, their responses and priorities tend to differ. Normally,
men trade affection for sex and women trade sex for affection.
·
What is the hard evidence that differences
between the sexes are only physical?
·
Movies and TV shows in which the only
white male that appears to be normal or a gentleman is homosexual, or in which
same-sex couples appear to have better relationships, helped convince many that
homosexuality and same-sex marriage are normal and acceptable.
·
We do not see or hear much, if anything,
about the homophobia, violence, domestic abuse, and infidelity within the
homosexual community even though a homosexual is more likely to be murdered or
assaulted by a homosexual than a heterosexual, a homosexual is more likely to
suffer domestic abuse than a heterosexual, and people in same-sex marriages are
more likely to commit adultery than married heterosexuals.
·
What is the hard evidence that there is
such a thing as homosexual orientation?
·
What is the hard evidence that
homosexuality is an immutable characteristic?
·
What is the hard evidence that
homosexuality is an inherited trait and not distorted love needs?
More examples could be given, but these should suffice
for now.
The natural use of the
woman is that of helpmeet for the man. (Genesis 2:18-24) God designed the man
to be the Lord's representative in the home and society and designed the woman
for the complementary role. The Bible teaches both functional subordination and
equality of being; while both genders are of equal value as persons in creation
and redemption, the man is the image and glory of God in terms of authority and
the woman is the glory of man. God ordained distinct gender roles for male and
female, and patriarchy was established in the beginning before sin entered the
world and is reaffirmed in the New Testament. (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18; Romans
7:2; I Corinthians 11:3-12; Ephesians 5:22-28; I Timothy 2:12-13; Titus 2:3-4;
I Peter 3:1-6) Replacing patriarchal marriage with egalitarian partnership,
women becoming warriors or soldiers, and women otherwise working alongside men
as their functional equals in public spheres of dominion is changing the
natural use of women. (Genesis 1:18; I Corinthians 11:8-9; I Timothy 5:14)
