This is What an Anti-Feminist Looks Like: (Part 2)
So, my first post on this subject (ages and ages ago,) seemed to cause quite a stir, more than most of my readers realize, since due to the content of many of the comments, I could not publish them. Then I posted that 'Ending the thread' comment, and boy even MORE comments came in and continue to come in; But one comment in particular, which I will quote and refer to in this post, struck my fancy so to speak. Read on and enjoy, or not. :)
Why is feminism so ‘catching’?
The Scriptures say:
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10I will not misquote God’s word, but let’s just say, “The love of supremacy and feminine liberation, is a fibrous, grisly strand in the root of a whole lotta misery and unhappiness” --- (Pardon my adjectives, just couldn’t help myself.)
Such thoughts in Christian women will inevitably and invariably cause them to “ere from the faith” and will cause them to ‘pierce themselves through with many sorrows” - Oy vey! There are so many things I want to approach on this subject! But I shall leave Joan of Arc, Jezebel and the others for another post...since I don't think I have a thick enough piece of yarn to tie it in with this post.
Oh, and on another note: I've been told I am not qualified to expound on this subject- lemme see... what are some of the qualifications? Umm... I'm female (did anyone else notice that?)... I'm human, and I live in this fallen world. I think that pretty much sums up my qualifications.
Now for the comment I wish to address:
[This comment is in reference to my previous 'anti-feminist' post]
Julie Shulman said:
"What a misinterpretation of feminism. Feminists absolutely believe in family, and in valuing women’s work--childcare, domestic responsibilities. We see that the work that has traditionally been done by women SHOULD be valued as much as the work that is traditionally done by men. We’re equal, but certainly different. Of course, we also value that what a women does with her life should be her choice--so, if she wants to build a career as a doctor or case worker, she should be able to--as she is 100% capable of doing so. And if she wants to build her life around having and raising children--a very important and difficult job itself--she should have that choice available to her as well. And, if she wants to be able to do both, that too is possible. Options, choice, equality and freedom for women is what feminism is about."
Well, Ma'am, inconsistencies are most prevalent throughout your comment- why tell me I'm SO wrong, when you purport to letting women have their own choice, and obviously, their own opinion? You see, that is yet another of the problems of feminism- all the bravado sounds great, open minded and all that, when talked about in justification of what you want to defend, but it just doesn't seem to cut for the other guy, (or woman in this case, :)) You can have your opinion, but I can't, because you think I'm wrong; really, I love the logic.
On another note, I think that when you get all your fellow feminists in a huddle and go over the game plan again, you should make sure you all agree to the same principles- especially if you're going to lump all your fellow feminists together in such statements as "Feminists" this and "We" that-- Now I'll tell you truthfully- I could coexist with feminists with much more peace (at least a strained cease-fire, though I could never agree,) if they all shared and held to your opinions on the subject of how feminists look at femininity and the role of the woman, sadly as it is, they leave comments instead, telling me how wrong I am, and that my opinions 'misinterpret' feminism.
Thus I am forced to 'make war', and fight to show others how wrong the feminist doctrines are, and that feminism and those that call themselves feminists (willfully or inadvertently) spit in the face of God's will.
Enough said- I think I've addressed most of the issues in this comment, but there is one more that I would like to mention:
We do indeed have a choice- If women did not have a choice, we'd all be automatons- and we would not be able to choose to belong to our Heavenly Father- we could not choose between salvation and damnation- but God did not want that to be; He wanted us to choose to love Him, to choose to serve Him- But you can't serve Him by doing your own will. Love just doesn't work that way. Doing His will and abiding by the pattern He created doesn't make women stupid, ignorant, without an informed opinion (I own up to having one, :P) or pathetic specimens of humanity- (I think most of us can manage that all on our own.)
