Feminism – What is it Good For?
(and how it is destroying marriage)
Yes, I am prepared for the backlash. Whether you are reading this on our webpage or Facebook, know that if this article triggers you and compels you to jump to the comment thread, we won’t be surprised!
To all woman and men, let us do a small test. Please read the following comment and capture your immediate emotional response.
“The Patriarch is a good thing, and it forms the proper hierarchy for marriage”
Now, if your immediate emotional response was, how dare this writer hold onto such an ancient tyrannical misogynistic view of the world, congratulations you have been brainwashed.
It is my assertion that I will show that not only is the above comment correct, I will also demonstrate that feminism and its cause has failed women to the worst possible degree, and it is robbing women of a satisfying and Godly life raising a family and fulfilling their nurturing role.
Feminism is a movement to put an end to sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression from men, to achieve full gender equality in law and in practice.
This first wave of feminism activism included mass demonstrations, the publishing of newspapers, organised debates, and the establishment of international women’s organisations in the late 19th century to achieve women’s voting rights.
The second wave of feminism aimed to achieve women’s liberation. Liberal feminists wanted better equality laws and reform of institutions such as schools, churches, and the media. Throughout the 1970’s radical feminists argued that the root cause of women’s inequality is the patriarchy.
The third wave of feminism mainly refers to the American movement in the 1990s, and was a reaction to the backlash of conservative media and politicians announcing the end of feminism or referring to ‘post-feminism.
The Paradox of What Women Actually Want
Ask any worldly woman today what they want, and you’ll hear something like this list,
Equality
Equal Pay
A Career
Equal say in the marriage
Respect
The irony is that is not what is going on inside. I don’t know this because I am a genius, nor do I know this because I claim to know women, I know this because God tells me so.
The word desire H8669 tᵊšûqâ or תְּשׁוּקָה means,
The words shall rule over thee H4910 māšal or מָשַׁל means,
It is then very clear, that inside every female on the planet today we should find a desire that a strong, masculine dominant authority lead over her.
Don’t believe me? Let’s continue and prove it!
On Thursday the 12th of February 2015 a movie called “Fifty Shades of Grey” was released to cinemas all over the world. According to the feminist manifesto the events and data that followed are completely unexplainable. The movie,
Here was a movie about a man dominating a woman, and women were its overwhelming audience.
After the dust settled, some remarkable data came from google about internet searches about all forms of male dominance over women sexually,
Just like the cinema audience numbers, women represented a whopping 88.66% of all internet BDSM searches verses the man’s 11.34%
Indeed, women all over the world could not get enough of the male dominant authority in this movies context. How was this possible? What then do we make of the worldwide feminist movement that has a modus operandi that the sexes are equal and there should be no dominance whatsoever? Clearly something does not add up here.
The Patriarch is not and was never meant to be Tyrannical! There is no other way to put this, God installed the man as the head of the woman in marriage. What God did not do is install the man as a harsh or unjust manager. Please see our pages on leadership and submission for more on this.
God gave a man a leadership role over his wife, to act in Love so strong that it was matched to the love Christ had for his church. To compliment this God gave the wife the desire for her husband’s rule.
When a woman rejects her husbands rule over her, she rejects God! It is then no surprise that the feminist movement is a movement that is combined with atheism and a rejection of God, it has nothing to do with equality!
If we examine all institutions across the globe, we can summarise them as being one of the following,
Logically, each and every institution on the planet has one thing in common, it has a leader and hierarchy. For any of the above to be successful it must have a leader, and leadership tree below relative to the size of the organisation.
We would propose to you, that Marriage is the most important institution on the planet and it should be on the top of the list. If the world was full of nothing but successful marriages then the world would indeed be a better place. Marriage then, not unlike any other institution should and indeed does have a hierarchy, how on earth should we expect it to perform well if it doesn’t?
If the Godly marriage hierarchy is indeed the correct way of running a family, and feminism has been successful in destroying the patriarch, what we should find as a consequence is evidence of a complete destruction of marriage in our society. Furthermore, we can see that feminism took hold of this world from the mid 1950’s, so our evidence should show the destruction of marriage occurring at some point after this time.
Unfortunately, this graph showing Australian divorces only proves to well that Feminism has a lot to answer for.
God as it turns out is no dummy! God installed a marriage hierarchy right from the start so we would have successful marriages and families. The Feminist movement has consequently destroyed a successful hierarchical structure in the pursuit of women’s happiness, and as we will now see women are not all that happy as a result.
By all feminist metrics, the feminists are winning, or have won the battle. The gender wage gap is decreasing, women have by far more power than ever before, women now have total equality in career choice and society almost exclusively now sees the woman and being equal in the marriage hierarchy. So, if the feminists are right “notwithstanding the horrible divorce evidence above” we should see women satisfaction and happiness at record levels.
Just like the Sexual Revelation, the data below just doesn’t make sense. Women are indeed now more miserable than ever! On all measurable scales women are both less satisfied and less happy than men, and as time progresses the gap is widening.
Women, you should be considering the following,
The following data comes from the working paper 14969 “The Paradox of declining female happiness” and is not a religious or theist paper.
What’s all the data show?
Every Woman Wants an Owner, Just Hear us Out
A man owning his wife is a positive thing! You have been told by society that being owned means being controlled, abused dominated and you have been fooled. Ownership is the opposite. For the purposes of explanation, we will call marriage ownership positive ownership. To all the wife’s out there who have a husband who has a really nice sports car or motorcycle. Chances are when you watch your husband “own” and take “care” of his vehicle, I’m sure you’ll agree you sometimes wish he would “own” or “care” for you in the same way he does the car!
In biblical marriage, God instructs the man to care for his woman to the same extent that Christ cared for his church. Positive ownership can and should,
All things that the feminist movement tell you, that you do not need from a man. Ask yourself, from the bottom of your heart, do you really want equal control as your man has, or do you want to feel like he is providing the above list to and for you.
Failure to provide, or a life without male ownership causes precisely the opposite of what a wife needs in life.
A lack of male ownership causes the woman to,
We have found an excellent non-Christian video on this topic. Whilst we do not agree with everything here, we find the explanation in this video on this topic brilliant, and highly recommend you invest the time to watch the 14 minutes of this video.
Feminism has failed women. There is no doubt that the enemy has used the sinful nature of humans to reject our authority. Over the past 100 years women have been fooled into thinking that if that attain equal control with the husband over themselves and their marriages, they will attain a new level of happiness. This not only goes against everything that God installed in us, it also goes against all the data that has been revealed over the last 10 years. Women are becoming less satisfied, they are losing their Godly role to raise Godly children in this world, they are being fooled into thinking that their ultimate satisfaction will come from a career or exerting power along side men. We at TGM believe the worst is yet to come, we are in a new generation where women are having children so late due to feminism, that many will miss out. A whole new world of middle to late aged women will be child and family less, with nothing more than their high-powered career and new found equality to satisfy them for their later years in life.
