Abuse is making a sandwich
Make a man a sandwich–and, according to feminists you are being abused.
Feminists can scrub toilets, flip burgers, watch over other mom’s babies, strive to gain new accounts, file until their eyes cross, and work late into the night with little time to themselves but as long as they are being paid for it, they’re cool with it. But tell them to go home and make a man a sandwich and they go utterly mad.
The immutable Word
Scripture is the inerrant (without error), infallible (cannot fail), immutable (cannot change), authoritative, and sufficient Word of the Holy and Living God. The Lord’s Word is meant to be honored, revered, believed, and obeyed by His people.
The Lord has much to say about the purpose and duties of women.
Genesis 2: 18, Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
1 Timothy 2: 11-15, Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Ephesians 5: 22, Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11: 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.
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.
Violent misinterpretation
Feminists read all of the above verses through their own particular twisted up rendition of Galatians 3: 28-There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
This verse isn’t denying that there are, in fact, men and women or that they have a duty to live out the purposes God has assigned to them–but that’s exactly what feminists want to believe.
Feminists fight against any suggestion that men are to be the heads of their families choosing rather to believe that an overall male dominated government should guide, control, and even dominate our homes. Any suggestion that women were created by the Lord to be a helpmeet for our husband sets them off. Tell them that God designed us to submit to our husband, to obey our husband, and to love our children and our homes and they come out ready to fight. They choose to believe that serving our husband or family in any capacity means we are being abused,
The purpose for which God designed women isn’t one of being crushed under men’s feet but of standing by his side as his helper. In a world which hates manhood, we support him in his by helping him to fulfill the purpose to which God has called him and thus we fulfill our purpose. The very thought that a woman would happily serve her husband in any form sends feminists into paroxysms of violent outbursts. In their world, men do all of the giving and women all of the taking; biblically we are made for man but man and woman serve one another.
Feminism invaded the church
How did we get to here? Because the church failed. Instead of standing for truth when confronted by lies, the church rolled over and capitulated. They gave into the assault of higher criticism which made it easy o cave on the teachings of feminism. When Christians should have stood on biblical truth, they caved.
There have been four waves of feminism. Each one helped feminism make deeper headway in destroying our understanding of biblical truth concerning womanhood. The four waves of feminism are…
First wave feminists fought to be equal to men. This began in the 1840’s with The Declaration of Sentiments.
Second wave feminists proclaimed they didn’t need men. This began in the early 1960’s and was called The Women’s Movement or Women’s Rights. This wave lasted roughly two decades.
Third wave feminists wanted to be men. This wave began in the early 1990’s and sought to redefine what a feminist is. It lasted through the 2010’s.
Fourth wave embraces and promotes androgyny, effeminacy, and wokeness. The fourth wave of feminism started in the 2010’s and is ongoing.

Fighting feminism with truth
Feminism matters because, even among Christians, it has become the lens through which womanhood and all related to it is viewed. Feminism is, was, and always will be at odds with Scripture and an attack on God’s creation order. It is a refutal of, and a rejection of, God’s appointed design for mankind in the home, church, and in society. Feminists will always hate God’s Word, womanhood, manhood, children, and all that is holy.
Feminism will only be defeated when pastors, husbands, and fathers start teaching and standing on truth without viewing it through the poisoned lens of feminism. This requires us to research and stand on biblical truths as they would have been understand in pre-feminism days. The Bible is the only tool with which we can defeat feminism.
Soli Deo Gloria!
