When the Feminist Movement got underway in the 60’s, women applauded the rights they demanded. They burned their bras in protest. They shed all evidence of the things they felt were binding them or holding them back. Their cry for equality was loud and clear and set the stage for what would become a total different society.
Women, up to that point in time, were considered by some as second class citizens. Their career opportunities were limited. Society had loosened the reins somewhat and didn’t frown nearly as much on women working outside the home, but the stigma was still there.
We’ve come a long way, baby – or have we? Today women hold high positions in almost every area of the “civilized” world. They run large companies – they hold political office (and we may eventually see one in the White House) – their career paths are endless.
The Feminist Movement made a huge impact on society. Many women now make more money than their male counterparts. Women take time off to have babies, but soon reliquish the actual raising of that child to a nanny. Women can choose to have babies or to abort them because it isn’t convenient. Young women soon learn that power equals sex and morals are a thing of the past as long as you have protection. Girls can physically become boys if the want to. Women may be treated as equal, but they are no longer revered or treasured as God intended them to be.
Our young girls need to know they have value – not only to their parents, but to the One who created them. They are precious human beings who have been created in a way that allows them to produce new life, but they also contribute to the success of their children by encouraging them and instilling in them God’s truth. They have dignity, strength, a compassionate spirit, tender hearts, the ability to encourage and inspire and so much more. God did not create women for man’s pleasure, but as an extension of him. We are all equal in His sight.
I am not against feminism, but I think there are limits and I also believe we have done a great disservice to the young girls who will someday become women. Maybe the old ways aren’t so bad.

A wonderful message to ladies everywhere! God has such great and glorious plans for women in this life…He always has! If only both women AND men could accept the high positions ascribed to them…and in the life hereafter as well!

Thank you. I also believe that God has a special role for women. We need to let our daughters know that too so they can feel freedom in their femininity. Society has taken away their childhood and forced them to become women before their time. I really think that things got all messed up when the feminist movement started.

An excellent point! God’s given role to women is actually quite complimentary. It sets them apart from “manly” ways, and seeks to unite them in common purpose with man for the good of everyone.
But leave it up to Satan and his evil ways to mess up the message! He seek to spoil the glorious and important role of women in this life in the name of “equality.”
Ladies are so very important to the success of every relationship we have in life, especially when they seek to do the will of God!
Thanks for the reply…

Being a hurt and broken child, the feminist movement offered comfort to me because I was angry and so were they. I got so caught up in the propaganda that I lost sight of who God intended me to be. It wasn’t until after I had my children that I realized what the consequences were of joining the movement. I had three children under 13 months old in two years and both times had to go back to work in a very demanding career within twelve weeks. I am still feeling the aftershock of my decisions, long after I made them and with Jesus’ help going backwards to undo the unintended damage I have done. I have realized in the very short period of time I have been saved what is important in the kingdom vs what is important in the world. These days my proudest role that has been bestowed on me by God is mother to three beautiful and amazing children. Thanks for the wonderful post.

You have put it all into the proper perspective. Somehow women have been convinced that this most important role isn’t enough. They want to be everything to everyone. Thanks for your encouraging words
