Feminism has corrupted everything beautiful about femininity.
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.
The desire of fallen mankind to cast off God’s authority and determine good and evil for ourselves reaches all the way back to the Garden of Eden.
Feminism strikes at the root of God’s created order and is the enemy of biblical femininity and masculinity. There is no such thing as Christian feminism.
At the heart of much feminist thinking is the desire for autonomy. The conviction that women don’t need any authority over them is in defiance of God’s will for women. Sisters, we were created by God, redeemed by Christ, and called to obey Him in our roles as women. The Christian ought to never ask, “What do I want to do with my life?” We should ask, “Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?” Concerning our roles as women, God has spoken.
The church’s accommodation to feminist assumptions mattered. Once Christians began allowing the surrounding culture rather than Scripture to define authority, womanhood, and freedom, it became increasingly difficult to defend the biblical distinctions between men and women. “These are modern times,” we were told, as if that justified defying God. But God had not changed. His Word had not changed. But the church did. 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.
Feminism rejects God’s created distinctions between men and women, opposes biblical headship, treats motherhood as something to escape, celebrates sexual rebellion, and elevates our desires to live our lives to please ourselves and no one else, even God. This is sinful and Christians must not only admit this but fight against it.
So here we are, sisters. Liberalized women and those who blindly followed them and believed their lies, fought against the patriarchy and supposedly won. Consequently, we have the “right” to defy our God, despise our husbands, leave our homes, destroy children in the womb, work any job, fill any position, and do any and everything we’ve ever dreamed of. Women have taken the lead in our homes, our churches, and in society. Many modern men are now unwilling to fight for their rightful position, so when sinful women make demands, men yield. And we win.
Or do we?
What have we won, sisters? What have we possibly gained? Look around us. Look where we were just a few decades back and compare it to where we are now.
Women are miserable. Drinking among women rose greatly and the Wine Mommy, who can’t make it through the day without it and laughs about such, was born. In 2023, 15.3% of American women were taking anti-depressants. Men have been trivialized and marginalized. Churches are floundering, given over to a theology that isn’t Scriptural and denying God’s holy design for the family. The fertility rate in America fell in 2025 to 53.1 births per 1,000 women ages 15–44. Abortion rates are astronomical with the CDC reported 613,383 abortions reported from 48 reporting areas in 2022.
And the insanity marches on.
And it will continue to march on until we are willing to stand up, reclaim biblical femininity, and embrace God’s perfect design for women, for marriage, for the family, the church, and society.
Have the promises made to women by feminism delivered that which was promised? Has rebellion against God’s design for us made us holier or brought us greater peace with God?
The answer is no.
So what do we do? Where do we go from here? We do not need another revolution. We need repentance. We ache for reformation as defined by God. We need to be women who are not ashamed of being women and who delight in their femininity. Wives who love and honor their husbands willingly and delight to do so. We need mothers who truly believe that children are a blessing.
Sisters, we need women who delight in caring for their homes and homemakers who understand the joy of faithfulness. We need single women who embrace and pursue God’s design for them and holy older women who embrace the command to teach that which is good.
In gaining the world’s freedom, we lost something of great value: the ordinary lives of faithful women who have served their families, churches, and societies so well simply by being just what God designed us to be. Real freedom is never to be found in running from God or attempting to escape His authority but in being joyfully obedient to His commands and to that for which He designed us.
May we lay down the empty, corrupt, and broken promises of feminism and take up the Bible and obey it. God’s ways are always good. They are always best. And they are the only way forward.
May the Lord bring many to repentance, and may we once again believe, teach, and live out that which the Lord says is good.
Soli Deo Gloria!
