Biblical analysis of feminism
Welcome to my page on feminism. My purpose for this page is to lay out, in the words of feminists, what feminism is and to provide resources so you, the reader, can research and think about it biblically. You will discover how feminism began, who the main players were, quotations by feminists themselves that prove the evil of feminism, and much more. Near the bottom of this page, you will find resources such as sermons, books, articles, and podcasts to further your studies.
If you are short on time, the book I would recommend first and foremost is Masculine Christianity by Zach Garris. It is available as a paperback, on kindle, and as an audiobook. It is an immensely helpful guide to feminism and the destruction of biblical masculinity and femininity.
Feminism is so widespread, so pervasive, so ingrained in our world, homes, churches, and our own thoughts that we don’t see the ideas we are presented with as lies but as truth. Consequently, when we are challenged with “Did God really say…?,” we very often fall into the trap and cannot discern whether He did or not.
P. Andrew Sandlin, “The correct response to radical feminism and egalitarianism is not to “put women in their place” but to exalt them to their biblical place — standing shoulder to shoulder with faithful men, partners in the cultural mandate, “heirs together of the grace of life.””
William Einwechter, “God has called men to defend His truth in the world and to live out its precepts. Yet, a look at the average evangelical Christian home will reveal that it too has been feminized to a large degree. Radical, Christ-hating feminist have transformed our homes, and Christian men have hardly objected to this or contested for the holy ground of a biblically patterned family. Furthermore, Christian husbands and fathers have also shown cowardice in their failure to lead and take up the responsibilities that God has given to them. They have been more than willing to shuck the full burden of leading and providing for their families; they have been more than to happy to share (or unload) these burdens with (or on) their wife. The family has been feminized because Christian men retreated from their duty.”
Joseph Spurgeon, “Men are created to build, wage war, provide, and lead . A church that does not call men to build, wage war, provide, and lead for the glory of God will never make an impact in the culture. Instead it will contribute to destruction of the culture by helping create and maintain effeminate males who shirk responsibility, take the least path of resistance, tear down instead of build, and follow the world to hell. Women are created to give and nurture life, live dignified, virtuous, and modest lives, and submissively help the men in their lives to complete their callings. A church that does not call women to give and nurture life, live dignified, virtuous, and modest lives, and to be submissive will contribute to the destruction of the culture by creating and maintaining hard women who kill their preborn, flaunt perversion, and in their defiance of authority lead the culture into heresy, old wives tales, and to hell.”
“If God is good, and if He wants us to subdue this planet, and if He wants us to obey the Great Commission and conquer this world for Christ, and if He tells half the human race that they’re in charge of tending the home, it follows from this that the home is actually one of the most strategic and important tools by which the world will be won.” ~ Rebekah Merkle
“The home is where a woman provides the expressions of love for her husband and her children. The home is where she leads and guides and teaches and raises the godly generation. The home is where she is protected and secured from other men and potentially wicked relationships and abuses. The home is where she lodges strangers, washes saints’ feet, shows hospitality and devotes herself to every good work. That’s her sphere. And whatever of that home and whatever of the goodness of her life she can take outside and not sacrifice the home is between her and the Lord and her husband.”~ John MacArthur
“It is a naive sort of feminism that insists that women prove their ability to do all the things that men do. This is a distortion and a travesty. Men have never sought to prove that they can do all the things women do. Why subject women to purely masculine criteria? Women can and ought to be judged by the criteria of femininity, for it is in their femininity that they participate in the human race. And femininity has its limitations. So has masculinity. That is what we’ve been talking about. To do this is not to do that. To be this is not to be that. To be a woman is not to be a man. To be married is not to be single – which may mean not to have a career. To marry this man is not to marry all the others. A choice is a limitation.” ~ Elisabeth Elliot
“Christianity has provided a place for woman for which she shines; but take her out of that place, and her lustre pales and sheds a feeble and sickly ray. Or to change the metaphor, woman is a plant, which in its own greenhouse seclusion will put forth all its brilliant colours and all the sweet perfume; but remove it from the protection of its own floral home into the common garden and open field, where hardier flowers will grow and thrive, its beauty fades and its colour diminished.” ~ John Angell James
“Every woman whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or her vice, by her folly or her wisdom, by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation. A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart over the hearts of others, she will raise that community from its ruins and restore it again to prosperity and joy.” ~ John Angell James
“Feminist culture can and has trickled down even to many Christian stay-at-home moms, who can be just as tempted by promises of self-fulfillment and living out their dreams. If they are staying at home with the kids as a means to that end, it’s still an idolatry of the self. As long as the ultimate goal is finding ourselves or feeling fulfilled, it doesn’t matter how we pursue it: we will always be disobeying God.” ~ Elise Crapuchettes, Popes and Feminists: How the Reformation Frees Women from Feminism
There are men in Europe who, confusing the different attributes of the sexes, claim to make the man and the woman beings, not only equal, but similar. They give to the one as to the other the same functions, impose the same duties on them, and grant them the same rights; they mix them in everything, work, pleasures, public affairs. It can easily be imagined that by trying hard in this way to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded; and that from this crude mixture of the works of nature only weak men and dishonest women can ever emerge. ~ Alexis de Tocqueville
The women who led the charge
Below are listed the women from whom feminism came. These women were all heretical and either atheists or members of heretical churches. Not a single one believed or accepted the Bible to be the Word of God.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments (adopted by the Seneca Falls Convention) and The Women’s Bible. She was born a Presbyterian but later became an atheist who attacked Scriptural teachings on men and women.
Lucy Stone was a Unitarian.
Susan B. Anthony was a Quaker who likely later became a Unitarian later in life.
Anna Howard Shaw was a Methodist who for four years, until the revocation of it, was a Minister in the Methodist church.
None of these women were Christians. The foundations of feminism was evil and anti-biblical and at odds with biblical Christianity.
The feminist movement in America
“But, in the face of all these warnings and commands of our loving Heavenly Father, that same crafty serpent has stolen into our nearest approach to Eden, the home, and is destroying the sacredness of the hearthstone and rendering happy homes fewer and fewer by telling woman that she is persecuted and downtrodden because she is not permitted to have equal rights with man …. [I]nstead of resisting the devil and forcing him to flee from her, she has stopped to listen to his arguments and is being deceived, and, just as she did on that unhappy day just prior to her expulsion from Eden, she is using her influence over man, and again he is blindly yielding, and has already made woman suffrage a law, even though it is directly opposed to God’s law.” ~ Fannie Hurst
‘…Women’s liberation, if not the most extreme then certainly the most influential neo-Marxist movement in America, has done to the American home what communism did to the Russian economy, and most of the ruin is irreversible. By defining between men and women in terms of power and competition instead of reciprocity and cooperation, the movement tore apart the most basic and fragile contract in human society, the unit from which all other social institutions draw their strength.’~ Harvard Professor Ruth Wisse
The feminist movement got its start in the USA in 1848 when a group of tea time friends got together one afternoon in New York to discuss their discontentment at their lot as women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of those women. Not long after, she organized the Women’s Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, N.Y. at which she presented The Declaration of Sentiments.
The Beginning of Feminism at Seneca Falls in 1848
The 1848 Seneca Falls Convention (both of these are secular articles but informative)
In 1850, Lucy Stone organized the National Women’s Rights Convention. In 1863, the groups merged and became the Women’s National Loyal League, led by Susan B. Anthony.
In 1878, a proposed right-to-vote amendment to the Constitution was written and submitted. In 1919, the 19th amendment became part of the Constitution.
Quotes from The Women’s Bible by Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
“Note the significant fact that we always hear of the “fall of man,” not the fall of woman, showing that the consensus of human thought has been more unerring than masculine interpretation. Reading this narrative carefully, it is amazing that any set of men ever claimed that the dogma of the inferiority of woman is here set forth. The conduct of Eve from the beginning to the end is so superior to that of Adam. The command not to eat of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge was given to the man alone before woman was formed. Genesis ii, 17. Therefore the injunction was not brought to Eve with the impressive solemnity of a Divine Voice, but whispered to her by her husband and equal. It was a serpent supernaturally endowed, a seraphim as Scott and other commentators have claimed, who talked with Eve, and whose words might reasonably seem superior to the second-hand story of her.”
“The Bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man’s bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire on the vital questions of the hour, she was commanded to ask her husband at home. Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up.”
The four waves of feminism
In God’s design, men are to serve as the head of their household. Man was designed as the provider, defender, leader, guide, and head of his wife and children. He was to lead not only in the family but in society and the church. The duties of men and women are a vital part of God’s plan for mankind. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of that. The church stopped teaching it. Families embraced lies. Few young women were taught the purpose for which God created them.
Feminism had invaded our beliefs.
Sheila Cronam, a feminist: “Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women’s movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.”
There have been four waves of feminism all of which built on the ones before it. Even first wave feminism was evil as it came from heretics who hated the Word of God and God Himself.
From the beginning, feminism was at odds with Scripture and an attack on God’s creation order. Feminism is a refutal of, and a rejection of, God’s appointed design for mankind in the home, church, and in society. From the beginning, it was an attack on the importance of the family and saw the rise of the supremacy of the individual. With the rise of feminism came attacks on and the destruction of biblical masculinity and femininity.
First wave feminism began in the 1840’s with presentation of The Declaration of Sentiments, written mostly by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, at the Seneca Falls Convention. The suffragettes (what they called themselves) sought equality with men, political freedom, a woman’s right to vote, to be able to fill offices in the church, and more freedom in and from marriage (including no fault divorce).
Second wave feminism began in the 1960’s and was closely aligned with the sexual revolution. It was referred to as the Women’s Movement or Women’s Rights. The feminists proclaimed that they didn’t need men and were able to stand on their own. From this came the idea that women could have it all. This wave lasted roughly two decades. This followed the beginning of the sexual revolution and the pill. From this came the legalization of abortion, a tremendous rise of women in the workplace, and led to no fault divorce.
Third wave feminism began in the early 1990’s and led to postmodernism. These women wanted to be men. These feminists sought to redefine what a woman is. It lasted through the 2010’s.
Fourth wave feminism embraces and promotes androgyny, effeminacy of men, the masculinization of women, socialism and its ilk, and wokeness. The fourth wave of feminism started in the 2010’s and is ongoing. It has led us to where we are now, with all kinds of sexual debauchery, including the trans movement.
From Second Wave Feminism onward
Declaration of Feminism (1971):“The end of the institution of marriage is necessary for the liberation of women; therefore it is important for us to encourage women to leave their husbands and not live individually with men.
Declaration of Feminism (1971): “Marriage has existed for the benefit of men; and has been a legally sanctioned method of control over women… We must work to destroy it. The end of the institution of marriage is a necessary condition for the liberation of women. Therefore it is important for us to encourage women to leave their husbands and not to live individually with men… All of history must be re-written in terms of oppression of women. We must go back to ancient female religions like witchcraft. Women’s lib is a “ladies” auxiliary of the radical left. The hard core embraces Marxism, although Gloria Steinem will admit only to being socialist. Prime purposes of feminism are to establish a lesbian-socialist republic and to dismantle the family unit.”
Dale O’Leary, The Gender Agenda (p. 103): “The radical women of the sixties saw in Marx’s and Engel’s analysis the justification of their own dissatisfaction with liberal reforms. They became convinced that previous Marxist revolutions had failed because they had failed to target the family. If Marxist analysis was correct, the family was the cause of oppression and would have to be eliminated.”
Kate Millett (1934-2017) one of the early grandmothers of feminism’s second wave and the author of “Sexual Politics” which became the backbone of women’s studies programs, brought together in New York City in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. These are the women who laid the groundwork for second-wave feminism, which gave way to the world of woke. Her sister, Mallory Millett, tells this story….
During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”
What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”
I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
Continuing…
“It was 1969 and she took me to a meeting at her friend, Lila Karp’s place in Greenwich Village,” Mallory explained to me for my book, “The Anti-Mary Exposed.” “At a consciousness-raising [an idea imported from Mao’s China] twelve women gathered at a large table. They opened with a type of Litany from the Catholic Church …but, this time it was Marxism, the church of the Left.”
The “litany” went like this:
“Why are we here today?” the chairwoman asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American patriarch?” she probed.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, abortion, and homosexuality!” they resounded. (Gress, 73-74)
What have been the results of feminism?
Feminism isn’t just out there; it a worldview, a cancerous outlook, and a destructive force in all of society. Feminism is so ingrained in us that our hearts, minds, churches, homes, families, clothing choices, and nearly everything we’ve been taught to believe about duties, society, culture, choices, and life has been and is being affected by it.
Isaiah 3: 12, My people—infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.
Scripture makes it clear that when women are in a position of leadership, it is not a sign of God’s blessing, it is a sign of God’s judgment. This should terrify us as women now rule in most homes, many churches, much of society, and are endlessly pushing for more. And most men just capitulate and accept it. There is little push back even in conservative churches. Too many men, sadly even pastors, seem to live in perpetual fear of upsetting women and because of this, they have willingly given up their God-given roles. The Lord cannot be pleased with this.
Did God really say that a woman’s place is in the home? Isn’t this old-fashioned? No, it’s biblical but rare is the church that teaches this. This isn’t an attack on the church; this is simply truth.
Feminism has so impacted the church that most churches do not address the differences in men and women and their God-ordained purposes.
The very fact that we have to discuss whether women ought to be homemakers or career women is a mark as to how far the church’s teaching on women’s God ordained and designed purpose has fallen. In many churches, the majority of the women now work out of the home. When that is the case, pastors run the risk of upsetting these women and their husbands if they address Titus 2: 3-5 or other Scriptures that address the role and function of women. The result is that many simply don’t.
As a consequent of this secularized thinking that has entered the church, we don’t tell our daughters to learn the domestic arts so that she might prepare herself as a future wife and mother. Instead she is told to prepare for college, follow her dreams, and do what fulfills her.

Feminism is rebellion against God
James 3: 11, “Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”
God’s Word, from Genesis to Revelation, emphasizes God’s created order. Mothers and fathers, older women, even pastors and elders have failed to take a stand for God’s appointed roles. Their failure to stand on truth allowed feminism to ravage the church.
Feminism strikes at the root of God’s creation order and is out and out rebellion against God, His created order, His institution of marriage, His decree that we marry and have children whom we raise to serve Him.
The Lord gifted women with the traits and abilities they need to be a help-meet to a husband, a mother to children, and a homemaker who nurtures her family. If God had designed women to fill the public sphere, to lead nations, to guide families, or to pastor churches, He would have made that clear in His Word. Rather, He clearly set forth the directive for women to learn to love their husbands and children and to be keepers at home.
The Lord mandated the wife’s submission in marriage. He also mandated her role in the church and society. This is all bound up in creation order. While many women rail against this idea, this was the clear teaching of the church until the onset of feminism.

Rather, He clearly set forth the directive for women to learn to love their husbands and children and to be keepers at home.
The wife’s purpose is one of submission and subordination, to be a wife, mother, and keeper at home. She is the inferior–not in worth but position.
The husband’s duty is to be the head of his wife, to be the spiritual head of the family, the protector, provider, and defender of his family. God designed the man as the superior–not in worth but in position.
The duties of men and women are a vital part of God’s plan for mankind. This plan extends to the church and to society. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of that. The church stopped teaching it. Families embraced lies. Few young women were taught the purpose for which God created them. Feminism had invaded our beliefs.
Women headed the call of the wild, that is the call to the workaday world, the corporate ranks, and others, ousting men from the jobs they needed to support their families. The church did little to combat this.
What was the result? Marriage was delayed. Babies avoided or aborted. Children went into daycare. Husbands were left to care for themselves. And women, blind as to what they were doing, celebrated their sin. Women are more discontent than ever but completely blind as to why.
The world, culture, our family and friends, and even many churches tell young women that they can do anything they want to do with their lives. Where once mothers and grandmothers taught young ladies how to prepare to care for and love a family, now they are taught that such ideals are old-fashioned and don’t fit in with our more modern and progressive ways. Instead of being taught how to respect a husband and to care for children and a house, girls are now taught to follow their dreams wherever they might lead them. We tell them that God just wants them to be happy. They are taught that marriage and family are but one goal in a world full of goals and it’s up to them to choose what will make them happy. Following this pathway leads to sorrow because it is the anthesis of what God designed women to do. He didn’t design us to follow man’s ways but His. How often do we hear otherwise?
Few of us do. Why? Because, whether we know it or not, we as a society are in rebellion to God.
Who stands on Scripture? Almost no one. Most women don’t know, they don’t understand. So many believe the lies that to be a wife and mother means bondage. To them, Scriptural duties don’t matter because they’ve never been told that they do. They see them as old-fashioned and no longer applicable to the modern woman. To be told otherwise means being they are being denied that which is good in their eyes. Like Eve, they listen when Satan asks, “Did God really say?”
The created order is beautiful. Women are in bondage only when they refuse to obey God and pursues worldly goals instead. When women embrace feminism, they are choosing the world over Christ.
1st Samuel 15:23, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
From Suffragettes to Feminists
When the
The word feminism was coined in 1837 by Charles Fourier, a utopian socialist.
The name feminism didn’t come into common use until around 1910. Prior to that, feminists were referred to as suffragettes and their movement was called women’s rights movement.
Women’s suffrage, feminism, and socialism are intricately tied together. Women’s suffrage–and the 19th amendment–was used by feminists to further the goals of feminism and socialism.
The goal of feminism has always been to destroy Christianity and the biblical family unit, to force women to live and work like men, and to encourage weakness and effeminacy in men. Sexual debauchery is the natural outcome of feminism.
The Financial Impact of Feminism

Benjamin V. Hubbard in Socialism, Feminism, and Suffragism, the Terrible Triplets: connected by the same umbilicial cord, and fed from the same nursing bottle
… (1915): Feminism is exhibited by a spirit of unrest among a comparatively small number of dissatisfied women. They preach the gospel of unholy discontent. They are born agitators, and “dearly love a fight.” They prefer war to peace; turmoil to tranquility; contention to concord; pride to humility; sophistry to truth; agnosticism to belief, and prefer to assert their own wills, “live their own lives” as against the precepts of all conventional morality, being moral anarchists. ….In advocacy to this “New Freedom” she has many journals, among others being the “Bondwoman” and Harper’s Weekly. She tells all sorts of lies about the “inhumanity” of man to woman, men with their inborn chivalry have been maligned without protest, mistaking these female hyena iconoclasts for women.
(The feminist) “[holds that] love without marriage is holy, and that marriage without love is illegitimate… Advocates a free contract in marriage, and that separation may occur at the will of either “mate”… [holds that] divorce shall be made easy… “[M]otherhood” is a mere animal function, and that even a cat may have kittens; that motherhood has been made too much of in the past. [She] Advocates with the Socialists that the State has a superior right to the parents over the nurture, conduct and education of the children… advocates the “control of births” by artificial measures. [The feminist] suggests that any woman may reject motherhood, and any woman with “mother love” may accept motherhood whether she is married or single… The Feminist is a man hater, except as she may be able to use him for her purposes… She claims that man has subjected her to “sex slavery” and “economical servitude,” from which she demands “liberation,” so she may be made a “free woman”… “

Robert H. Bork (1996) Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline, “There is a great deal of reckless disregard for the truth in radical feminism. Some of it is so blatant that it certainly deserves to be called lying, but some of it appears to reflect the delusions of paranoia. What is worrisome is that so much serious misrepresentation passes into the realm of “truth.” One might think that misrepresentations about checkable facts could not survive long in an open society, but they can and do, probably because the press and academe are very pro-feminist. When a sensational report about the amount of domestic violence against women appears, newspapers, magazines, and even textbooks relay the news, and it quickly becomes established folklore. The attitudes formed as a result are embedded in the culture. Yet the facts, for those who care about them, indicate that these reports are wild exaggerations or flat misrepresentations… For some people, there can be no surer evidence of a conspiracy than the fact that no conspiracy is apparent. After all, a really effective conspiracy would be invisible. Feminists’ ideology is a fantasy of persecution.“
The results of feminism on the biblical family
Linda Gordon: “The nuclear family must be destroyed… Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process.”
Frederick Engels, “The first condition of the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex back into public industry, and this in turn demands the abolition of the monogamous family as the economic unit of society.” ~ The Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State (New York, International Publishers,1942) p.67
Sheila Cronan, “Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women’s movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.”
Kate Millett, “The care of children ..is infinitely better left to the best trained practitioners of both sexes who have chosen it as a vocation…[This] would further undermine family structure while contributing to the freedom of women.” Sexual Politics 178-179
Roxanne Dunbar: “How will the family unit be destroyed? … the demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can fight collectively. Women will feel freer to leave their husbands and become economically independent, either through a job or welfare.”~ Female Liberation
Catherine MacKinnon: “All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman.”
Andrea Dworkin: “Families make possible the super-exploitation of women by training them to look upon their work outside the home as peripheral to their ‘true’ role.”
Linda Gordon, “the nuclear family must be destroyed… Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process.”

F.L. Morton & Rainer Knopff, “Contemporary feminism has aptly been described as “Marxism without economics,” since feminists replace class with gender as the key social construct. Of course, what society constructs can be deconstructed. This is the feminist project: to abolish gender difference by transforming its institutional source — the patriarchal family. Certain streams of the Gay Rights movement have taken this analysis one step farther. The problem is not just sexism but heterosexism, and the solution is to dismantle not just the patriarchal family but the heterosexual family as such.

They became convinced that previous Marxist revolutions had failed because they had failed to target the family. If Marxist analysis was correct, the family was the cause of oppression and would have to be eliminated.”
“Feminism is the intellectual organization of gender hatred, just as Marxism was the intellectual organization of class hatred. Feminism’s business is fashioning weapons to be used against men in society, education, politics, law and divorce court. The feminist aim is to overthrow “patriarchal tyranny.” In this undertaking, the male’s civil rights count for no more than those of the bourgeoisie in Soviet Russia or the Jews in National Socialist Germany.”~ What civil rights has wrought.

Andrea Dworkin: “Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love, or to mother children. Under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman’s daughter is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman,” Liberty , p.58.
The results of feminism on men
In God’s design, men are to serve as the head of their household. Man was designed as the provider, defender, leader, guide, and head of his wife and children. He was to lead not only in the family but in society and the church.
Men were designed to care for, and make decisions for not only themselves but their families. A man weighed the issues and voted not just for himself but as the representative of his family.
Women’s suffrage changed this. No longer was the man the head of his household. He no longer represented his family with his vote; he only represented himself. The job of providing and protecting his family was stripped from him. He soon was reduced to little more than a co-wage earner.
“Who cares how men feel or what they do or whether they suffer? They have had over 2000 years to dominate and made a complete hash of it. Now it is our turn. My only comment to men is, if you don’t like it, bad luck – and if you get in my way I’ll run you down.” – Signed: Liberated Women, Boronia Herald-Sun, Melbourne >, Australia. 9 Feb., 1996.
Mary Daly: “If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males.”
Shirley McClain: “Male is matter, matter is male, matter is evil, male is evil, feminine is spirit, spirit is feminine, and that’s good.”
Robin Morgan, “Women’s Liberation … in the short run it’s going to cost men a lot of privilege… Sexism is NOT the fault of women — kill your fathers, not your mothers”. ~Editor of Ms. Magazine
Cheryl Clarke: “Heterosexuality is a die-hard custom through which male-supremacist institutions insure their own perpetuity and control over us. Women are kept, maintained and contained through terror, violence, and the spray of semen…[Lesbianism is] an ideological, political and philosophical means of liberation of all women from heterosexual tyranny… ” Lesbianism, An Act of Resistance
God created man for a mission and woman for the man. God designed women to be a man’s (her husband’s) helpmeet. Men were designed by God to act selflessly, and to fight for, provide for, and even make decisions for their families. Before the advent of feminism, this was taught in our homes and churches.
Today the role of husband often seems to mean little more than being a co-wage earner and sharer of chores. In so many families, women have taken on the roles and duties of provider, protector, defender, and leader, either completely or as co-partners in it. In many homes men are absent and the duties fall to the woman completely. The call for men to be the head of the family, to be prepared to protect, defend, provide for, guide, and teach their family is one rarely addressed.
Once it was understood that as the head of the family, men had a responsibility to represent their families through voting and decision making. Now the notion of a man making decisions for his wife is foreign to most people.
Many boys now grow up in a broken home and have no father to teach them. Some boys grow up with a father in the home but still have little to no proper guidance by their father as to what it means to be a man. Few men in the church step up to fill the empty chasm.
Attacks on manhood are commonplace in our society.
The results of feminism on women
Sarah Zes, “I have heard it said that the Heroism of the Fathers is the Legacy of the Sons. I would submit the reverse is also true. In our culture, the Feminism of the Mothers is the Destruction of the Daughters.”
John MacArthur, “Their (feminists) real ideological goal because it’s Satan’s goal is to absolutely erase any recollection of creational structure and biblical morality. Wipe it out. And they’re after it. You wonder, don’t you, two generations from now whether anybody will know what biblical morality is. Oh they might be able to read the ancient Bible and see what it looked like but they certainly are going to have a hard time looking around town to find it. And here witless Christians jump on this Feminist bandwagon as if it was some harmless thing. “Well, we have a right to work and we shouldn’t be confined at home…and I have a right to express fully myself,” and…silly women who fall prey and silly men who do as well.”
Elisabeth Elliot, “Do the women’s liberationists want to be liberated from being women? No, they would say, they want to be liberated from society’s stereotypes of what women are supposed to be…. Some very interesting facts have been uncovered by scientists which feminists will have to treat very gingerly for they show that it is not merely society which determines how the sexes will behave…. The idea of matriarchy is mythical, I’ve learned, for not one that can be documented has ever existed. Doesn’t it seem strange that male dominance has been universal if it’s purely social conditioning? One would expect to see at least a few examples of societies where women rather than men held the positions of highest status…. Isn’t’ it really much easier to believe that the feelings of men and women throughout history bear a direct relationship to some innate prerequisite? … It was God who made us different, and He did it on purpose. Recent scientific research is illuminating, and as has happened before, corroborates ancient truth which mankind has always recognized. God created male and female, the male to call forth, to lead, initiate and rule, and the female to respond, follow adapt, submit.”
“Who, but a few wild visionaries, and rash speculatists, and mistaken advocates of women’s rights, would take her from the home of her husband, of her children, and of her own heart, to wear out her strength, consume her time, and destroy her feminine excellence in committee-rooms, on platforms and in mechanics or philosophical institutions?” ~ John Angel James
John Angell James, “Every woman whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or her vice, by her folly or her wisdom, by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation. A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart over the hearts of others, she will raise that community from its ruins and restore it again to prosperity and joy.”
E.G. Sewell, “Faithful, godly women … are in a large measure the guardian angels for the wellbeing of the family and for the general good of human society. But take women in a measure out of that sphere and put them into the rugged field of politics, voting, office holding, with their trains of trouble and worldly excitement, and you at once start human society, morality, and even Christianity on a downward grade. …. Let woman remain in the station in which the wisdom of God placed her. In that sphere she can be a wonderful blessing to the whole human race; out of it she may prove a great drawback. None of God’s divine arrangements for the good of humanity can be changed without bringing evil instead of good to all connected with the change.”- Questions About Billy Sunday and Woman Suffrage, April 15, 1915
Henry Makow, “Try standing up in this culture and saying, “Women, you’re commanded to love your husband and to love your children and to work at home and to be subject to your husband.” You’ll get screamed down. I mean, you can be in deep trouble just reading that let alone commenting on it. In fact, feminism is a cruel hoax, telling women their natural biological instincts are ‘socially constructed’ to oppress them. Feminism is elite social engineering designed to neuter both sexes, making women less fit for marriage and motherhood, and men unable to sacrifice for family.”
Emmeline Pankhurst, “I know that women, once convinced that they are doing what is right, that their rebellion is just, will go on, no matter what the difficulties, no matter what the dangers, so long as there is a woman alive to hold up the flag of rebellion” – a British leader of the suffragettes
NOW (National Organization of Women): “The simple fact is that every woman must be willing to be identified as a lesbian to be fully feminist.” (National NOW Times, Jan.1988)
Simone de Beauvoir, “No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.” ~ Interview with Simone de Beauvoir, “Sex, Society, and the Female Dilemma” Saturday Review, June 14, 1975, p.18
Kate Millett, “so long as every female, simply by virtue of her anatomy, is obliged, even forced, to be the sole or primary caretaker of childhood, she is prevented from being a free human being.”
Vivian Gornick: “Being a housewife is an illegitimate profession. The choice to serve and to be protected and plan towards being a family maker is a choice that shouldn’t be. The heart of radical feminism is to change that.”
Betty Friedan, “women who ‘adjust’ as housewives, who grow up wanting to be ‘just a housewife,’ are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps… they are suffering a slow death of mind and spirit.”
Ask yourself, what is taught in your church concerning women’s duties, design, and purpose? Are women encouraged to pursue their dreams, go to college (perhaps leading them to great debt that they or their husbands will be obligated to pay off), and prepare for a career (that usually leads to a delay in marriage while she spends years justifying her education by building a career)?
Or are they taught that God’s design and purpose for women is to prepare for marriage and motherhood and that, not a career, is what their young years ought to be spent in preparation for? If yours is like most churches, women are encouraged to pursue their dreams, et al, regardless of what the Lord has said.
Most women in aren’t taught the domestic arts. Rather than learning to love their future husband and children or learning to take care of and beautify their future homes, women are now encouraged to spend their early years having fun, sleeping around, going to college, joining the armed forces, and a myriad other ways that in no way mirror Scripture’s plain teaching.
Women marry later and later. Often children are either not wanted or the number of children is limited. Having delayed child-bearing until their 30’s or later, many women discover they can no longer conceive. This is the result of feminism.
The results of feminism on children
Antonia Senior: “As ever, when an issue we thought was black and white becomes more nuanced, the answer lies in choosing the lesser evil…The nearly 200,000 aborted babies in the UK each year are the lesser evil, no matter how you define life, or death, for that matter. If you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.”
Kate Millett, “[O]ne of children’s essential rights is to express themselves sexually, probably primarily with each other but with adults as well. So the sexual freedom of children is an important part of a sexual revolution.” (radical feminist and Marist theoretician in Loving Boys)
Antonia Senior: “Standing where religious martyrs were held and tortured in Britain’s turbulent reformation,” she writes, “I could think of one cause I would stake my life on: a woman’s right to be educated, to have a life beyond the home and to be allowed by law and custom to order her own life as she chooses. And that includes complete control over her own fertility.
Margaret Sanger, “The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it.” (Founder of Planned Parenthood, “Women and the New Rage,” p.67.)
Molly Yard, “I consider the Chinese government’s policy among the most intelligent in the world.” (In response to a question concerning China’s policy of compulsory abortion after the first child, Gary Bauer, “Abetting Coercion in China,” The Washington Times”, October 10, 1989)
Millions of children have died through abortion, each and every one a casualty of feminism. Child abuse and abandonment is on the rise. Children are ignored, hated, abused, abandoned, and murdered at great rates. Childbearing is delayed. Birthrates are limited. All a result of feminism.
Feminism and the church
Ann Lori-Gaylor: “Let’s forget about the mythical Jesus and look for encouragement, solace and inspiration from real women. 2,000 years of patriarchal rule under the shadow of the cross ought to be enough to turn women toward the feminist salvation of the world.”-“Feminist Salvation,” “The Humanist”, July/August 1988, p.37.
Gloria Steinem: “By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.”
Carol Crist (Roman Catholic Theologian): “I found God in myself and I loved her fiercely….”
The Fallacy of Feminism and the destruction of society

Robert H. Bork, “Even the language of the [feminist] movement mirrors the mood of fascism. The apocalyptic and hate-filled rhetoric of radical feminists expresses their eagerness to inflict harm.” – (1996) in Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline
Catharine A. MacKinnon, “Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist government is the goal of feminism.”~ in Toward a Feminist Theory of the State. 1989, First Harvard University Press. Page 10.
Ellie Mae O’Hagan, “It’s not novel to tie socialism and feminism together: they are inextricably linked as movements, and always have been. Of course, it’s complacent for any socialist to argue that ending capitalism will simply erase sexism from existence. Gender inequality may be a necessary condition of capitalism, but it is maintained by culture. Sexism persists because it is propped up by a deep-rooted set of beliefs and stereotypes that imagine women as inferior. These won’t be forgotten overnight by changing the economic system; they must be actively taken on and defeated – and that fight must be led by women themselves. But understanding this makes socialism even more necessary: because women can’t fight against sexism as a whole if they’re too busy trying to keep their heads above water in an economic system that exploits them. Just as gender inequality is a necessary condition of capitalism, socialism is a necessary condition for the genuine liberation of the majority of women.”- in The Guardian to celebrate International Women’s Day (a holiday first celebrated by the Socialist Party of America to honor the New York garment workers’ strike),
Since feminism is based on a fallacy–that there are no differences between men and women–feminists can only achieve their desired outcome by demanding ever increasing amounts of governmental intervention and control; such control must, in order to achieve their desired utopia, include control over education, the marketplace, and individual lives.
Historical resources
“How NOW Got Religion
It all happened in a bar at the railroad station in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Betty Friedan had just given an address on women at the University of Bridgeport. Dr. Elizabeth Farians was a professor of theology at Bridgeport’s Sacred Heart University. The two Bettys had planned to meet after the talk, and so over a “baptismal” drink they connived on how to get the NOW Board to adopt a task force on religion.
The October 1966 organizing conference of the National Organization for Women had not included such a task force but while Betty Friedan was busy founding NOW, Betty Farians had been busy founding the Ecumenical Task Force on Women and Religion. As soon as the national news releases about NOW were out in November 1966, Betty Farians contacted Betty Friedan.
The Bridgeport meeting was arranged and Betty Friedan invited Betty Farians to attend the second NOW Board meeting in Chicago, February, 1967. There “Women and Religion” was added to the NOW list of task forces, making seven in all. Also, Dr. Farians was elected to the NOW Board of Directors.
The story is being told for the sake of herstory and also to point out new directions for the women’s movement in religion. At first the task was to raise the issue of religion both among feminists and in religious institutions. The secularists of NOW had discounted religion and had not included it in their planning. For feminists in general religion was irrelevant and for the women in religion feminism was irreverent. It became the job of the NOW Task Force on Women and Religion to point out that one of the root causes of the oppression of women is religion.
The NOW Task Force on Religion hammered away at its theme especially in the media. Now the point has been made. There is beginning to be a movement on women and of women in organized religion and feminists themselves are finding out through bitter experience how powerful is the church. Religion is being challenged.”

The church sold out to feminism
“In the traditional family, the man is the head of the home and the one responsible for providing those things necessary for the sustenance of life. The woman is a “keeper at home,” and the one primarily responsible for the care of the children. The traditional family thus defined is in line with the biblical plan for the home. Feminists hate the family that is patterned after the Word of God because it is contrary to all that they accept as true. Thus, their goal is the total destruction of the traditional family.” ~William Einwechter
The goal of feminism is to destroy Christianity and the family and to feminize men and force women to live and work like men. Towards this end it promotes the destruction of home and family, devalues men and children, seeks the destruction of femininity, embraces sexual debauchery of all kinds, and promotes socialism and communism. One of the tools used by feminists to accomplish these goals was women’s suffrage.
Women’s suffrage was first promoted by women who were discontent with the purpose and design given to them by our Creator. Suffragettes encouraged women to stand on their own, delay marriage or refuse to marry, explore free love, delay motherhood or turn motherhood over to the state, and defy their husband’s rule (thus voting against him in many cases)–all goals of feminism–ensured that their causes would be pushed forth by those same women. Many of these women were staunch defenders of Darwinism. Failing to believe Scripture in one way led to failing to believe Scripture at all.
It is thus a provable fact that, without women having the vote, many of the leftist policies so affecting and destroying our society and homes would never have passed. Women, especially single women, tend to vote in a far more liberal fashion than men (whether married or single) do. We gave women a sphere never intended by God for them and we reaped entirely foreseeable troubles.
This is all tied into the sin that is so rampant in our churches…immodesty, destruction of and failure to understand familial duties, delayed marriage, frequent and easy divorce, domestic abuse (and the lies about abuse), feminized men, debased and masculinized women, delayed motherhood, failure to believe or apply Scripture, lack of submission and respect in marriage, as well as a defiance of biblical patriarchy and the headship of man among others. Feminism has affected it all. The church, failing to embrace or even understand a truly biblical worldview, gave in easily to Darwinism, feminism, and women’s suffrage, and thus became compliant in the destruction of the home, biblically speaking.
There’s a direct correlation between feminism, socialism, and women’s suffrage and the decision by the National Organization of Women, in the late 1960’s, to call on Christian women to send in their their headcoverings so they could be burned. Feminists wanted to destroy any outward obedience to God’s laws concerning marriage, biblical womanhood, and the biblical family. Convincing women not to cover in worship was but one tool in their arsenal but it was an effective one as it was a direct assault on biblical headship and marriage.
When the call for equal rights for women came, many in the church jumped on the bandwagon. Few were the husbands, fathers, or pastors who would risk disfavor or being labeled domineering, old-fashioned, or judgmental to take a biblical stand. “Times have changed,” we were told as if that were enough reason for disobeying God.
So, under the guise of pursuing ever-nebulous, ever-changing, and non-biblical “equality” whether in granting women the so-called right to vote or embracing sinful designs and practices in the name of feminism, our churches capitulated and women, eschewing biblical womanhood, left their homes and families, and barged into the workplace to compete with men (leaving men unable to provide a living wage for their families). In the wake of their departure from their homes, husbands and children were left to fend on their own. The divine call of biblical womanhood, wifely duties, and motherhood was replaced by what we have now: the woman-driven-women-focused me-culture that flies in the face of God and endlessly demands more.
Godly women once wholly and joyfully embraced the duties given to them by the Lord. They cherished their families and gladly embraced their purpose in life: the care for those families and the homes wherein they dwelt. In return, women were cherished as mothers, wives, and homemakers. They were beloved and praised and highly exalted. Then along came the feminist propagandists. These communistic devotees besmirched women who devoted their lives to their families. Such women were successfully portrayed as fools and simpletons who were enslaved by the selfish patriarchy.
The feminists and suffragettes lied, misled, and confused younger women into eschewing God-appointed marriage and family, besmirched homemaking as slavery, and, in the process, got what they wanted: the devaluation of the church and the destruction of the home and society.
The women’s liberation movement wasn’t started or backed by true Christians but by evil women who were discontent with the sphere given to them by the Lord. If the church hadn’t capitulated to feminism, it wouldn’t have opened the door to the wave-on-wave-on-wave of endless attacks on the biblical family that has left us where we are today: dying in the dregs of a society who hates God, biblical femininity, the family, and any and all that is good, holy, or traditional.
Women who cast off supposed chains of matrimony or the patriarchy are now willingly enslaved by bosses, corporations, and the workaday world. Marriage is delayed or eschewed, babies are cast off into the care of the government or murdered in the womb, and men and husbands are disregarded and portrayed as fools. In the aftermath of the near destruction of the biblical home, husbands and children languish without the gentle and loving care of a wife or mother.
Both outwardly and inwardly, feminism has corrupted everything beautiful about femininity. Instead of promoting the Christ-honoring duties and glories of womanhood as taught by Scripture, feminism promotes debauchery and destruction in the name of freedom.
The average modern woman is now loud, boastful, lewd, immodest, and full of self-interest. Among other evils, feminism stands firmly for the right of a woman to put herself above all others, sleep around rather than marrying and devoting her life to her husband and family, and for her so-called right to kill her child in the womb; what it fails to tell these women is that it is they themselves that are also being destroyed.
Feminism’s lies have wormed their way into every area of our lives, our homes, churches, and society. It’s poison has spread throughout our Western world. Feminism is evil yet it is blindly but firmly entrenched in our churches, our homes, and society. It came in bit by bit as we endlessly moved the goal and erased all biblical lines and demands. Many who uphold feminism do so unknowingly. It’s been the lens we look through for so long that most of us have no clue what life was like before.
It’s too late to prevent Christians from selling out to feminism but it’s not too late to fight against it. This can only be done by churches who repent of failing to believe and obey Scripture as their authority, husbands who repent of failing to lead as God has commanded, and women who repent of failing to submit to and obey their husbands in a biblical fashion. There’s much work to do and no time to waste.
Search the Scriptures and as you do, ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart. Let the Lord’s Word mold your will and your goals. Repent and seek contentment in that role that God appointed to you. He saw it as so important that He said that if women fulfill the role, His Word will not be blasphemed. The glory of God and the honor of His Word is at stake.
What does Scripture say?
“Only one worldview ever offered true progress for women and for society, and that is the biblical Christianity preached by the Reformers. The only equality women will find is through Christ. Through the death of the Son and the redemption of the cosmos, Christianity says this world will be made right again. By grace alone, the faithful will continue living the gospel until the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
― Elise Crapuchettes, Popes and Feminists: How the Reformation Frees Women from Feminism
You won’t find the word feminism in Scripture but that doesn’t mean God’s Word is silent about it. Scripture has much to say about creation order and the purposes and duties of men and women. Below are just a few of the Scriptures that prove feminism is a lie.
Genesis 1: 28, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it”
Genesis 2: 18-24, “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Proverbs 9: 13 “A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.”
Proverbs 18: 22, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.”
Proverbs 21: 9, “It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.”
Proverbs 21: 19, “It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.”
Proverbs 22: 14, “The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.”
Proverbs 31: 1, “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.”
Proverbs 31: 10-31, 10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.17 She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.19 She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

1 Corinthians 11: 2-16, 2 Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.
1 Corinthians 14: 34, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
Colossians 3: 18-19 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”
Ephesians 5: 22-33, 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
1 Timothy 2: 9-15, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”
1 Timothy 2: 11-15, 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
1 Timothy 5:14, So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.
Titus 2: 3-5, 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
1 Peter 3: 1-6, Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
Godly men on women’s purpose
John Calvin: “Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.” –‘Men, Women, and Order in the Church’.
“…what is closely allied to the office of teaching — and not to assume authority over the man; for the very reason, why they are forbidden to teach, is, that it is not permitted by their condition. They are subject, and to teach implies the rank of power or authority. Yet it may be thought that there is no great force in this argument; because even prophets and teachers are subject to kings and to other magistrates. I reply, there is no absurdity in the same person commanding and likewise obeying, when viewed in different relations. But this does not apply to the case of woman, who by nature (that is, by the ordinary law of God) is formed to obey; for gunaikokratia (the government of women) has always been regarded by all wise persons as a monstrous thing; and, therefore, so to speak, it will be a mingling of heaven and earth, if women usurp the right to teach.” –Calvin from his commentary on 1 Tim 2:12
Matthew Henry: “And as God is the head of Christ, and Christ the head of the whole human kind, so the man is the head of the two sexes: not indeed with such dominion as Christ has over the kind or God has over the man Christ Jesus; but a superiority and headship he has, and the woman should be in subjection and not assume or usurp the man’s place. This is the situation in which God has placed her; and for that reason she should have a mind suited to her rank, and not do any thing that looks like an affectation of changing places. …. And this was probably the fault of these prophetesses in the church of Corinth. It was doing a thing which, in that age of the world, betokened superiority, and therefore a tacit claim of what did not belong to them but the other sex. Note, The sexes should not affect to change places. The order in which divine wisdom has placed persons and things is best and fittest: to endeavour to amend it is to destroy all order, and introduce confusion. The woman should keep to the rank God has chosen for her, and not dishonour her head; for this, in the result, is to dishonour God. If she was made out of the man, and for the man, and made to be the glory of the man, she should do nothing, especially in public, that looks like a wish of having this order inverted. “–Matthew Henry’s commentary on 1 Corinthians 11
It [Deuteronomy 22:5] forbids the confounding of the dispositions and affairs of the sexes: men must not be effeminate, nor do the women’s work in the house, nor must women be viragos, pretend to teach, or usurp authority” –Matthew Henry’s commentary
John MacArthur: “One expression in Titus 2 deserves special notice. It is the word homemakers. The Greek word is oikourgous, which literally means “workers at home.” Oikos is the Greek word for “home,” and ergon means “work, employment.” It suggests that a married woman’s first duty is to her own family, in her own household. Managing her own home should be her primary employment, her first task, her most important job, and her true career.”
“Mothers, don’t let anyone ever dupe you into thinking there’s anything ignoble or disgraceful about remaining at home and raising your family. Don’t buy the lie that you’re repressed if you’re a worker in the home instead of in the world’s workplace. Devoting yourself fully to your role as wife and mother is not repression; it is true liberation. Multitudes of women have bought the world’s lie, put on a suit, picked up a briefcase, dropped their children off for someone else to raise, and gone into the workplace, only to realize after fifteen years that they and their children have a hollow void in their hearts. Many such career women now say they wish they had devoted themselves to motherhood and the home instead.”
“When women take over a culture, men become weak; When men become weak, they can be conquered, when all the men have been slaughtered, you [women] can sit there with all your jewelry and junk. You’ve been conquered, because you overpowered your protector.”
“The home is where a woman provides the expressions of love for her husband and her children. The home is where she leads and guides and teaches and raises the godly generation. The home is where she is protected and secured from other men and potentially wicked relationships and abuses. The home is where she lodges strangers, washes saints’ feet, shows hospitality and devotes herself to every good work. That’s her sphere. And whatever of that home and whatever of the goodness of her life she can take outside and not sacrifice the home is between her and the Lord and her husband.”
Robert L. Dabney: “[I]t would not be hard to show, did space permit, that this movement [women’s suffrage] on the part of these women is as suicidal as it is mischievous. Its certain result will be the re-enslavement of women, not under the Scriptural bonds of marriage, but under the yoke of literal corporeal force. The woman who will calmly review the condition of her sex in other ages and countries will feel that her wisdom is to ‘let well enough alone…’. Under all other civilizations and all other religions than ours, woman has experienced this fate to the full; her condition has been that of a slave to the male-sometimes a petted slave, but yet a slave. In Christian and European society alone has she ever attained the place of man’s social equal and received the homage and honor due from magnanimity to her sex and her feebleness. And her enviable lot among us has resulted from two causes: the Christian religion and the legislation founded upon it by feudal chivalry. How insane then is it for her to spurn these two bulwarks of defense…? She is thus spurning the only protectors her sex has ever found, and provoking a contest in which she must inevitably be overwhelmed.” ~“Women’s Rights Women”
Elisabeth Elliot: “Do the women’s liberationists want to be liberated from being women? No, they would say, they want to be liberated from society’s stereotypes of what women are supposed to be…. Some very interesting facts have been uncovered by scientists which will feminists will have to treat very gingerly for they show that it is not merely society which determines how the sexes will behave…. The idea of matriarchy is mythical, I’ve learned, for not one that can be documented has ever existed. Doesn’t it seem strange that male dominance has been universal if it’s purely social conditioning? One would expect to see at least a few examples of societies where women rather than men held the positions of highest status…. Isn’t’ it really much easier to believe that the feelings of men and women throughout history bear a direct relationship to some innate prerequisite? … It was God who made us different, and He did it on purpose. Recent scientific research is illuminating, and as has happened before, corroborates ancient truth which mankind has always recognized. God created male and female, the male to call forth, to lead, initiate and rule, and the female to respond, follow adapt, submit.”
“Equality is not really a Christian ideal. It is, in the first place, very hard to get at what people mean when they speak of equality. Surely they can’t mean that men and women are like two halves on an hourglass or an orange…. Men and women are equal, we may say, in having been created by God. Both male and female are created in His image. They bear the divine stamp. They are equally called to obedience and responsibility, but there are differences in the responsibilities.… The statement, ‘All men are created equal’ is a political one, referring to a single quality for a single purpose. C.S. Lewis called this a ‘legal fiction,’ useful, necessary, but not by any means always desirable. Marriage is not a political arena. It is a union of two opposites. It is a confusion to speak of ‘separate but equal’ or ‘opposite but equal’ in referring to this unique union of two people who have become, because they were made different in order that they might thus become, one flesh.”
Taylor Caldwell: “Remember this: The strongest sign of the decay of a nation is the feminization of men and the masculinization of women. It is notable that in Communist nations women are exhorted, and compelled, to do what has traditionally been men’s work. American women, some of them, feel triumphant that they have broken down the ‘barricades’ between the work of the sexes. I hope they will still feel triumphant when some commissar forces a shovel or an axe into their soft hands and compels them to pound and cut forests and dig ditches. I hope they will be ‘happy’ when a husband deserts them and they must support their children and themselves alone. (After all, if a woman must be ‘free’ she shouldn’t object to men being free too, should she?) I hope they will feel ‘fulfilled’ when they are given no more courtesies due to their sex and no kindnesses, but are kicked aside on the subways buses by men, and jostled out of the way by men on busy sidewalks and elevators…. I hope, when they look in their mirrors, that they will be pleased to see exhausted, embittered faces, and that they will be consoled by their paychecks.”
Richard Armour: “The best happiness would result if women would continue to let this be a man’s world and continue to provide a bower of bliss at home. Her greatest career is to help her husband and to start her children off in the right direction. Women should be reminded that they can have just as much pride saying, ‘Look, I helped my husband and I have raised some decent children.’ I don’t think women can do any better than that. That’s more important than winning the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Peace Prize.”
F. Carolyn Graglia: “Those who would defend anti-feminist traditionalism today are like heretics fighting a regnant Inquisition. To become a homemaker, a woman may need the courage of a heretic…. Feminists claimed a woman can find identity and fulfillment only in a career; they are wrong. They claimed a woman can, in that popular expression, ‘have it all’; they are wrong – she can have only some. The experience of being a mother at home is a different experience from being a full-time market producer who is also a mother. A woman can have one or the other experience, but not both at the same time. Combining a career with motherhood requires a woman to compromise by diminishing her commitment and exertions with respect to one role or the other, or usually, to both.” –A Brief Against Feminism, pages 369-370
G.K. Chesterton: How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness.”
Queen Victoria: “I feel so strongly upon this dangerous and unChristian and unnatural cry and movement of ‘woman’s rights’… Let woman be what God intended; a helpmate for a man – but with totally different duties and vocations.”
“I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights,’ with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were woman to ‘unsex’ themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection.” ~ March, 1870.
“I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.” ~ 1852
“I love peace and quiet, I hate politics and turmoil. We women are not made for governing, and if we are good women, we must dislike these masculine occupations.”
Phyllis Schlafly: “Marriage and motherhood have their trials and tribulations, but what lifestyle doesn’t? If you look upon your home as a cage, you will find yourself just as imprisoned in an office or a factory. The flight from the home is a flight from self, from responsibility, from the nature of woman, in pursuit of false hopes and fading fantasies. If you complain about servitude to a husband, servitude to a boss will be more intolerable. Everyone in the world has a boss of some kind. It is easier for most women to achieve a harmonious working relationship with a husband than with a foreman, supervisor or office manager.” ~ “Choosing a Career”
“Feminists realize all too well that they can never achieve a level playing field in the marketplace as long as their male competitors have the advantage of homemaker wives… Women on the left know that in order to get ahead more easily, they must deprive men of their advantage in having stay-at-home wives. The desire to eliminate the full-time homemaker has been feminists’ goal all along. The need for a second income was never the goal.”
Free America, 1937: “What concerns me most is the question of what is a good way for the average woman to live. I do not believe that spending the best part of her life in a cannery, a textile mill, a garment factory, a power laundry, nor even behind the counters of a department store or sitting behind a typewriter, is as good a way to live as most of the defenders of industrialism and socialism seem to believe. For the average woman, it seems to me that running a home, taking care of and training her children, and doing creative work—as crafts like sewing and weaving as well as cooking and washing—is a better way of living…
I don’t want the millions of women who have chosen homemaking as a career to think they are producing less than the women who earn a little cash each week. And above all, I don’t want those who are choosing their life-work to feel that they must abandon the country for the city, postpone marriage until they are too old to adjust to it, and give up the idea of establishing a family, because “progress” requires that they live in city flats, take city jobs, and spend their time in city shopping.”
