Titus 2:4 What is the Role of Older Women?

4These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children

Feminism is a Lie

Feminism in the umpteenth wave is a lie directly from the father of lies. This present incarnation of "feminism" berates and belittles men and tells women that they can have and be "it" all. Using terms like "mansplaining" and "toxic masculinity" and "quiet misogyny" it quite literally demands the hatred of men and the nullification of their Biblical, God given importance.

The truth, can you handle the TRUTH? The truth is, ladies, you are often your own worst enemy. How do I know? I am one. I have been there and I have done that. Accepting the role God has given you is both freeing and fulfilling. Feminism is a lie. Did I mention that?

Feminism wants women to believe we are superior to men in every way. It says we work harder, know more, understand how to get things done, and exist without "needing" a man, ever. WRONG. Women think differently than men, we are built differently than men, and, if we are to perpetuate the species, we most definitely need men.

Feminism says that men and women are the same. We are not. Men and women are very different, though we are of equal value to God and to society. In fact, apart from one another, men and women are incomplete and incapable of creating or maintaining life or society.

Feminism says that God is a goddess. It is what leads Katy Perry in all her "splendor" to express her connection to some "divine feminine". Sorry Katy, that's a demon. You should know better.

Feminism says that in order to be happy, all a woman has to do is hustle more. Untrue. In order to be happy, a woman needs to understand her role and identity in Christ. That understanding will lead her to better relationships, deeper faith, and more fulfilling life choices, aka happiness.

Feminism says that your father is not as important as your mother. It doesn't matter if you are a child of divorce and your relationship with your opposite sex parent is irrelevant. LIES, LIES, LIES! Everything about your homelife as a child writes on your heart, mind, and soul. It defines your identity and informs your world view. Studies for generations have shown that the MOST formative relationship a child has is with their opposite sex parent.

Feminism says that until you have met all of your professional goals, motherhood is a burden. It tells you that having sex with multiple partners is empowering and that destroying life in your womb is a choice. NOPE. God made you for more. He made you to show self-control which leads you to real self-esteem, not some cheap fake of it. You were designed to be a wife and to carry the seed of the next generation. You cannot be unmarked by destroying life. Ever.

Feminism says that your success is worth whatever means necessary to achieve it. Self-deception, lying, cheating, and stealing are fine so long as you get yours. Absolutely not. Every religious tradition, not just Christianity, holds that the universe operates under a law of what goes around comes around. Karma or reaping what you sow...whatever. You cannot get ahead without forming positive relationships and acting with integrity. Full stop.

Feminism says that if that you need to compare your life to every woman you admire or respect and that you must follow the woman "code" and walk in lock step with other man hating feminists in order to be "in" with the cool kids. That is GARBAGE. Comparison is a thief. Envy is a sin and jealousy will paralyze you where you stand. Women were made to cheer each other on, to bear one another's burdens, and to work in community with one together.

God says it is my job, as an older woman now, to tell young women the truth. Respect the men in your life who showed up for you. Honor the husband God has sent you. Be his helper and you will find he will love you better. Care for your kids, don't farm them out to someone else at every opportunity. God gave you the responsibility of bringing them up in the way they should go. Seek opportunities to grow fruit of the Spirit in your life. Be temperate and kind and gentle and all the things God says He will produce in you when you love Him with all you have. When you do what God says in His word you should do, God will show up. Your husband will react in kind. Your children will rise up and call you blessed when they get to where my kids are. Ask me how I know.

If you need a Godly mother figure to walk with you...holly@personalwordsmith.net. I will pray with you and offer you Biblical principles that will help you be what God says you should be as a wife and mother. Blessings on you and yours!
