Feminism, like all evil, is cloaked in allure. Evil does not over power, it seduces.

Pride. Vanity. Coveting. The sense of entitlement of being owed more than one has. A vid admitted that men cannot understand how women get a sense of power by proclaiming victim status but acknowledged women do seem to feel empowered by being a victim. It shows how perverted sin changes our thoughts.

Las weekend my wife and I visited my daughter from out of State. Upon arriving, my wife announced that my daughter (her stepdaughter) is her good daughter. Then shared the recent ways her own daughters treated her horribly.

Ive known happiness. It's serving others like your family for Christ.

Obviously, her daughters do not know this happiness. While both are bad, the daughter who treats her worse said at a recent party about herself that she is a mean a-hole. <sigh> Not a lot of the Spirit of Christ flowing from those words. The anger, resentment, bitterness is the cause of feminists ruining their own lives, choosing less love in their life.

One example of this is 'revenge sex.' It's so sick, so spiteful, so self-destructive, it can only be demonic. The daughter who is not the worse of the two told my wife that her best friend's brother is with a woman they had a child with who had sex with all his friends after their child was born. At least this not worse daughter is appalled by this behavior and not applauding it as a means to show power.

Unfortunately, infidelity doesnt seem to be taken seriously anymore, especially when women do it.

Ive accepted that Im not going to have a lot of female friends my age. Im not everyone's cup of tea and Im okay with that. But I refuse to spend any more time with hypocrites who want to use Christian faith as some sort of escape from accountability. There are far too many doing this today.

My husband did a quick few searches on an infamous adult content subscription site and found several of my old friends and family members on there.

I told him not to tell me which ones were on there. It breaks my heart that this is what women have come to....5.99 a month. Our society took away the shame of acting promiscuous because of feminism and now women are actively degrading themselves for some extra cash. Our society has become sick.

Its going to take a lot of prayer and a lot of faith to influence this generation for Christ instead of feminism. Its going to take people repenting, drawing near to the Lord and influencing their families.

I refuse to leave my place in the home. My flag is planted here to influence my children and lead by example a life of service. I chose my husband because I saw a leader in him and thats exactly what he became.

You are aware that not everyone wants to live your life?

Relaxing into my femininity helps me remain soft and nurturing.

My daughter was VERY anxious about the story of the drones over the east coast as her hubby’s cousin elaborated for hours.

He KNEW imminent death of all human life on Earth was not in the cards. He failed to reassure her. And she remains angry and disappointed in him for not letting her relax in her femininity.

Such a shame of how limited you are in your knowledge, which colors your views.
While the percentage of women initiating divorce is high, it is MOST often the husband's infidelity that is cited as the reason for divorce. Used to be that women could not obtain a divorce if the husband cheated. Some women simply turned a blind eye to their husband's cheating because "all men cheat." Do you really believe that women were happier staying with a man who cheats on her?

You mean...kind of like what a lot of Christian MEN do?

Our society is comprised of both MEN and women, and sex is the oldest game in town.
Prostitutes would go out of business if MEN refused to "employ" them. You keep holding women accountable, but what about the men?

Feminism can identify problems all day but it cannot make women happy.

Ive known happiness. It's serving others like your family for Christ. Agreeing with Paul: "With food and clothing, we shall be content." and "Godliness with contentmemt is great gain".
Feminism is in part, the response to patriarchy, because patriarchy did not and DOES not make women happy, either!

Siiiiigh. Once again, you're taking a VERY small group of feminist outliers and applying their behavior to how ALL feminists think!
No. Once again we see feminism in action. Like the complaints against Islam, we never see ‘real’ feminists set the record straight by denigrating these as ‘outliers.’ The absence of self correction is telling.

Evidently, that’s your job - while giving feminists a pass for bad behavior.

You’re being disingenuous.

You failed to quote the whole post that Mink made.

Here is the whole post:

Personally, I think what those women did was pretty ridiculous.”

She actually did call them out on what they did as can be seen.

It doesn’t make you look good when you purposely try and denigrate someone by not showing their whole post and then say they didn’t do something when they did.

Christianity is a patriarchal religion. God is our Father and Christ is the Lord and patriarch of the Christian faith.

A good number of women love God's Word in it's whole counsel. These are the happiest women I know.

A college degree didnt make me happy.

Getting a well paid job did not make me happy.

God the Father fathers me perfectly and heals me of daddy issues from my passive father. He has made me happy.

Learning to serve like Jesus in my home honestly makes me happy.

My two young babies have made me happy---the miracles that they are.

Being married to a confident, capable, and compassionate man has made me happy and is a great honor.

Feminist culture almost robbed me of these things. My selfish mindset, all about me---that almost destroyed my happiness.

We are downstream of feminism. Selfish pleasure seeking and narcissism in women are the result.

I will say it again in a different way.

Not all women want to be you. Many are the happier they have been in a non-patriarchal marriage, with a career and a college degree.

While I agree that some can be selfish, not all are. Just as some women who are in a patriarchal marriage do it for selfish reasons. I am not saying that you are.

It is good that you’re happy in the marriage that you’re in and that your experiences are your own, however, you cannot speak for all women.

I don't agree with everyone posting. But Im praying sincerely for everyone who posts and those who maybe read and don't post.

The Word of God endures forever. And my prayer is that we all including myself learn to be blessed by obeying it wholeheartedly with trust. Blessings to everyone in this thread.

This does nothing to defeat my argument. Are you more able to speak for women as a man?

I have never seen a woman happier for rejecting Christian principals. Sin is pleasurable for a season but there is always a price to pay.

I have no desire to control anyone but they ought to be informed of the cost of each choice. I stand by that. Just like feminists have a right to preach the virtues of higher education, career, and seats of power, I have the right to say thete's another way.

Women are biologically different from men and the Word of God is a blessing to any woman that applies it to her life.

I speak boldly on purpose. All women stand to gain by applying the Bible to their lives because the Bible is way more in tune with the nature of women than feminism is.

Not at all. I am merely pointing out that you cannot speak for all women. I certainly do not.

I have never seen a woman happier for rejecting Christian principals.

The key being, you have never seen. Remember that. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Sin is pleasurable for a season but there is always a price to pay.

I agree, but it doesn’t mean that all these women are in sin.

I have no desire to control anyone but they ought to be informed of the cost of each choice. I stand by that. Just like feminists have a right to preach the virtues of higher education, career, and seats of power, I have the right to say thete's another way.

I can agree with that. However, your experience is just that and not all women will have your experience if they live the way that you live. That is what I am getting at.

Women are biologically different from men and the Word of God is a blessing to any woman that applies it to her life.

I can agree with this with a caveat. There are interpretation differences as you are well aware. Some like you might interpret marriage the way you do and some the way I do. Both can be a blessing if applied by a woman. You will likely disagree with that caveat.

Again, this is why I say you cannot speak for all women.

All women stand to gain by applying the Bible to their lives because the Bible is way more in tune with the nature of women than feminism is.

As a Christian, I can agree with this to a point.

There are women who are happier all their lives who aren’t Christian and of course there is the opposite where there are women who aren’t happy all their lives.

My point being is that becoming a Christian is a choice. Not all women are Christian, but are some of the happiest women I have seen in my 50 years. Some Christian women are some of the unhappiest women I have ever seen, my ex-wife included.

If you haven’t noticed, I don’t deal in absolutes. The world isn’t all black and white. There are shades of grey too.

I dunno about that! I suspect that all the feminist's talk will die down fairly quickly if anything happens. Might be a war on the Northern border, or it could be some sort of devastation caused by earthquakes or weather. The US is due for something.
