The Fruits of Feminism

What feminists teach is nothing short of a lie. The most fulfilling thing a woman can accomplish is serving her family- either under her father's roof or that of her husband. Right now I want nothing more than to be the best daughter and sister that I can possibly be. Prayerfully, I hope to one day be blessed with a husband and children. But even if I never get married, I will always serve my family. And even though I know that's what I'm called to do- it is not a burden. It makes me happy. I say this not to brag, but because I wish more girls and women could know this joy. But our society is flooded with the feminist agenda. We need to rise up and show girls from a young age that God created them to love their homes and families, to be keepers at home, and to be under the authority of a Godly man (their husband or father).

When I read this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1021293/index.html
(which I read on Stacy McDonald's blog, which can be found through http://www.familyreformation.com/ ), it made me miserable for this woman who was raised by a die-hard feminist who saw her one child as a tragic burden rather than as a joyous blessing. Through her experience she realized the joy of motherhood- but, not before she went through some huge tragedies. This woman's early life is a perfect example of the fruits of feminism. May we (girls and women) turn our hearts to our homes and families. May we seek to fulfill the glorious role that God has given to us.

I would like to end with a quote from Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin's So Much More (a must read for any young woman, imo.).

" A real woman is a woman who recognizes that she has been exquisitely and perfectly created by a loving God for a unique purpose. Out of genuine gratitude, awe and a desire to please her Maker, a real woman joyfully embraces her femininity and submits every aspect of her identity- the attitudes and affections of her heart and mind, her appearance, her manners, her speech, her ambitions and her beliefs- to God's original and unique design for her as a woman. A real woman undersands that God designed femininity because masculinity was not enough in itself to represent God's image and glory. The differences between men and women glorify God, and downplaying these differences downplays God's glory. A real woman wants to bring glory to God by being a woman."
