I live in the day and age where feminism is very in vogue. Feminism now means allowing our sexuality be visible, dressing the way we want, acting the way we want and demanding equal pay. As a woman, who lives on the more conservative side of life, I don't believe in the definition of feminism created in 2015.
According to Google, feminism means: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
Miley Cyrus is not a feminist, she is the opposite. Caitlyn Jenner isn't a woman, he will never be a woman - but yet people clump Caitlyn in the feminist movement. What does this mean for the next generations to come? Allowing women to prance around naked and taking whips to mens back because it shows are confident and powerful to men? I hope not.
The more radical feminists actively seek to overthrow any form of male dominance in society, to the point of opposing the biblical forms of marriage, defending abortion on demand, and promoting lesbianism. Radical feminists deny there is any difference between men and women, teaching that any noticable differences between the sexes are due solely to social conditioning. - Hence why I refuse to shop at target anymore, they are making women's clothing more open to men who seek to dress as women. I am not okay with potentially buying, on accident, gender "friendly" clothing.
My sorority recently got mad at me because I said I was anti Feminist. I do not believe in the pop-culture way of feminism.
I believe in the Bible. And the feminist movements call upon rebellious behavior against the roles God gave to us, the movement now is to reserve the roles of mankind, and make it anew. Before pop culture, the feminist movement was a positive movement, something I would've supported. It was created to give women god-given rights, and equality to men, now it is to tear down any social norm, and biblical belief that Christians practice today.
Here are some Bible verses that should remind you, we are all equal in God's eyes:
1. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:28
2. “For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world” 1 John 2:16 (Feminism is a false lust, it will not bring you power, it will not bring you pride)
3. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
With the word of God, I am constantly reminded that I am equal to my brothers in Christ. I am worthy of God, and that I do not need to fall into the sinful ways that is feminism in 2015. I am equal with voting, I am equal if I perceive myself as an equal. I do not need to say I am a feminist to my sorority sisters because they do not see what I see in the world. And that's okay. They do not understand the biblical means of being a woman. And that's okay too.
I do not have to please anyone with my beliefs, except myself and God because he is the ultimate judging factor in my life. And if I believe that the Husband is suppose to be the head of the household, the provider to the family, and that he is suppose to help me in my spiritual walk with God, then that's more than okay in my eyes.
Women stand up for the traditions of God, and the beliefs of your own. You do not have to fall in fear of trying to be equal. Equality is given to us in heaven. God loves us all the same. And to me, that is ENOUGH.
