Feminism purports to be on the side of women to declare their equality with men.
The only problem with this idea is that in order to fight to be equal one must believe they are not equal.
What the feminists fail to understand is that equality with someone does not mean that we are capable and do whatever the others do. It also does not mean that we are unequal simply because someone else treats us disrespectfully.
Disrespect for the genders is not translated to inequality. Those who treat others disrespectfully are not declaring inequality they are simply narcissists who are demeaning someone else to elevate themselves.
The feminists don't understand that being equal means each one has their own abilities and talents separate from anyone else. To attempt to be exactly like someone else in order to feel equality is denying the individuality of the genders.
In God's eyes, all men and women are equally valued each with their own gifts and talents. The roles of men are different from the roles of women. Each gender is suited beautifully to their own physical and emotional makeup. Neither one is less than the other, they are just different.
To say that one gender is less than the other is to deny their special gifts as given to them by God to do the task they were designed to do.
Just because someone's task is different from someone else's task does not mean one person is "less than" the other. All tasks are needed in society, all jobs are needed.
No one should be ashamed of a task they are called to do just because mankind elevates one over another. We can admire the abilities of others that we do not have, but without diminishing our own.
Proverbs 3:13-18 "13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding."
Every person doing any job can gain wisdom from God equal to every other person doing any job. Wisdom is not the same as abilities, it is the understanding of spiritual and emotional matters that come through living life and seeking God.
Every job can be used of God to bring the same wisdom. Many highly educated people lack wisdom because they do not know God. Because they do not know God they do not know His Word or hear His voice. Uneducated people also lack wisdom for their ignorance of God's Word and stubbornness to do things their own way.
Both highly educated people and uneducated people can have the wisdom of God equal to one another, separate from their job description. Education does not determine wisdom and lack of education does not determine the level of wisdom.
Wisdom comes from God and experience in life that show us God's truth. Those who do not want to learn will not, those who want to learn from their life experiences will learn. Those who think they know everything very seldom learn from life, they interpret everything in terms of their ignorance rather than thinking new thoughts because of new information.
The character of a man is not based on his physical abilities. Good character is developed by seeking God and learning from our mistakes and sins. Those who do not seek God, who do no learn from mistakes and sins will remain depleted in their character. Not only do we regress in character building by resisting correction and learning, but we also reduce character.
Those who resist the truth, resist God, and elevate themselves as all-knowing will reduce their character over time becoming a bigger fool as they grow older than they were when they were young.
Proverbs 29:1
"He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing."
Where has feminism led our culture? Simply, feminism has destroyed families, increased crime while leaving the youth without hope.
Those who place the value of a person on their job description lack wisdom, even proving their own lack of ability to discern right from wrong.
Romans 2:5
"But because of your hard and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed."
Philippians 2:3
"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves."
John 5:30
“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will but the will of Him who sent me."
Wisdom comes from God, talents come from God, personality and character come from God. Those who wish to be wise must seek God in all these things.
Proverbs 12:1
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."
Psalm 1:1
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;"
Proverbs 1:24-26 "…24 Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand, 25 because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction, 26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,…"
Proverbs 1:29-31…29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD. 30 They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof. 31 So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.…
Those who wish to see a successful life will not base their hope on fame or fortune, they will seek the character of God and He will make them into the likeness of Himself.
