Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

[TLHKAJ]

Modern feminism = Man hating. On display.

Wrong assumption. And yet, I've seen you do nothing but bash women on this forum. I've never seen you encourage women, nor give a personal example of how you exemplify godly, Biblical manhood or how you treat your wife.

Women who have experienced toxic men in their lives are not "man hating" just because they know they don't want a toxic man in their lives and are much more picky about what man they trust. Just because you're a man doesn't make you a dictator king.

When you see a woman posting things that they have experienced why not respond with compassion rather than misjudgment and a accusations? The reason for our cautions and/or distrust of most men has zero to do with "feminism" and "man hate." It is due to what we have seen and experienced ...not just personally, but by observation.

I have great respect for @Lambano who has always responded with honesty, compassion, and given heartwarming personal testimony regarding his relationship with his wife ....which is so amazing it brings me to tears.

What scares a lot of men is a strong woman who will not buckle down and be overrun by a man. The Proverbs 31 woman was strong. She was also a businesswoman. She was no flake. And yet, she took care of her husband, the children, the servants. She wasn't helpless by any means.

That most men are good is not an assumption. And I have bashed feminism not women.

Obviously, you have yet to triumph over feminism.

Most men are not good. lol
In fact, none of us are good. You know that.

But as far as godly men who don't suppress their wife, who actually treat them with dignity and value, and not as children, or property ....rare.

Yet, feminism is sexist, man hating, only focusing on the hatred for men. Where have you posted with equal passion about how the assumption that women are good is wrong? Equality.

I try not to worry about what most men or what most women are doing.

For one thing, It seems to me that my generation hates privacy and quiet living but they love social media oversharing.

In 1 Thessalonians it says we are to mind our own affairs and study to be quiet.

I think a lot of Gen Z are uneasy with quiet. By quiet, I don't think that means never sharing anything...but there should be a distinction in the levels of energy we provide to our loved ones we are responsible to vs literal strangers online or the public.

Abother reason I dont worry about what most people are doing is because I have no control over what they do. I can only control me and influence a few.

Besides, i disagree with a lot of folks.

Contentious Spirit = Feminism 101.

Contentious Spirit = Feminism 101.

I had a group of friends in college that began to backbite and make snide comments at me when I transferred to a different school and married my husband.

They had contentious spirits.

The leader of the group couldn't hide her envy. Her boyfriend stood her up at the altar. My other friends went on to make adult content for money, have a baby by a deadbeat, and have a long engagement that never went anywhere.

One day I asked to leave the text group and the meanest two attacked me for it. But I knew God was pulling me away from them. We no longer had much in common.

Exactly. Our relationship with God is very personalized. It's between each individual and God ... that's the nature of relationship.

I think, though, you're missing the point. No one here, including myself, is saying that our lives are based on what "most people" do. And yet, when a man begins to attack women, that is the total opposite of godly manhood, and I will speak up. I will speak the truth, and have no need or desire to form my words carefully to please anyone.

The male posting in this thread is attacking any woman who doesn't cater to his egotistical ideals and calling it feminism. That is wrong. I don't have a need to be approved by men ....or women. My relationship is with God, and my desire is to be in right standing with Him.

If this is the point Im missing, it was intentional.

Wrangler may have a lot of negative examples of feminism and toxic female behaviour. But I have not seen him attack women as a whole and he has also praised positive examples of Godly women that I have posted.

He has just as much a right to speak on this topic as anyone, even if some don't like the content.

I've not seen anyone post praises about women on this forum. I don't see posts saying "women are good" anywhere on this forum. I see 90% of the males on this forum taking specific scriptures out of context and using that to spiritually oppress and suppress women. I see men making degrading statements about women. That's the reason there is now a Women's Only Forum so that women can actually discuss things freely without being attacked by men. It shouldn't have to be that way.

You have seen me uplift those men on the forum who exemplify kindness, and godly character. There are some others on the forum I respect in that way, such as @amadeus. He is always truthful, kind, gentle, and has expressed how he loves his wife. There is @quietthinker who is very kind, and I've never seen him talk down to women. This is what women NEED to see, especially women who have experienced nothing but toxic men in their lives.

You may not have experienced his attacks, but I have. Point out the places where he has praised a woman on this forum ....specifically. The reason he likes your posts is because you cater to what he wants to hear. @Wynona, I don't have any need to please you, nor him. I will speak the truth. He has never spoken a kind word to me..... ever. Only confirming the fact that over 90% of men are domineering and hateful toward women ...except when they say what he wants to hear.

Not every woman is a feminist. And just because I believe God has given me worth, and a role that is not in servitude to every man, doesn't make me a feminist. My place is alongside (not below) my own husband, and as a mother, a grandmother, a sister, etc. But I am not below or less than a man ....not even within the church.

You and I have a history on other forums, remember? I remember what things you went through with your in-laws, family, etc. What you are saying here on this forum is totally opposite what you said on 2 other forums.

If you can point out that there are toxic men. Wrangler can point out that there are toxic women. We can't propose a double standard.

Personally, Id let it go.

How is this a fair statement?

Enlighten me?

Im not sure what you mean.

I have no idea what you're asking. It is what it is. I spoke the truth. He has never been kind to me. And that is in line with my experience in churches in 7 states, and in my personal life ...that most men do not exemplify the godly characteristics scripture lays out.

I am "Abby-Joy" ....I wrote a whole long post just now and deleted it. My aim is not to hurt you. I'll send it privately.

I think Godliness has become rare amongst both genders. Im saying, if you can point out flaws with men, what is wrong with Wrangler and others pointing out flaws in women? He never said all women are bad. But you've just generalized 90 percent of men. You don't see how that is hypocritical?

I suppose it doesn't matter. Were all adults here.
