The biblical vision for womanhood has never injured one woman. But hateful doctrines and worldviews do. They injure women—and men, too. Feminism is a doctrine of hatred. From its inception, feminism has always defined itself as what it is NOT. It is NOT the Christian vision for womanhood or manhood that presupposes the biblical doctrine of patriarchy. It IS an attack on the biblical model for the family, for womanhood and manhood. It is a philosophy of violence because it seeks to uproot and destroy. For this reason its vocal supporters tend to be violent and embittered in their writings. Take heed from the comments below of this woman who believed women could have it all, and now who just wishes she had children:
From the article: Madonna syndrome: I should have ditched feminism for love, children and baking
“I never thought I would be saying this, but being a free woman isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Is that the rustle of taffeta I hear as the suffragettes turn in their graves? Possibly. My mother was a hippy who kept a pile of (dusty) books by Germaine Greer and Erica Jong by her bed (like every good feminist, she didn’t see why she should do all the cleaning). She imbued me with the great values of choice, equality and sexual liberation. I fought with my older brother and won; at university I beat the rugby lads at drinking games. I was not to be messed with.
Now, nearly 37, those same values leave me feeling cold. I want love and children but they are nowhere to be seen. I feel like a UN inspector sent in to Iraq only to find that there never were any weapons of mass destruction. I was led to believe that women could “have it all” and, more to the point, that we wanted it all. To that end I have spent 20 years ruthlessly pursuing my dreams - to be a successful playwright. I have sacrificed all my womanly duties and laid it all at the altar of a career. And was it worth it? The answer has to be a resounding no.”
