The Natural Use Of Women

 

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)
