Feminism Highjacked
The T shirt had a picture of Barack Obama on it. The words said…”Martin Luther King’s dream fulfilled.” The fact that many voted for Obama based solely upon his race belied that claim.
It is true that racism exists. Great wrongs and unbelievable evil have been done in our nation based on racism. Many organizations have risen to seek to heal, repair, make right, the damage. Sadly, in doing so they sometimes adopt a form of the racism they organized to combat. M. L. King’s dream was never meant to be a forced equality for all races, but rather a loving abolition for the concept of race, or at least judging others based on race. His dream is still a long way off.
Sadly, a similar event can be seen with Feminism. While initially its concept may have arisen to repair or correct past wrongs... Its existence still presuppose that a distinction must be preserved based on gender. It can, and often has, taken on an anti-male bias, either directly and indirectly through labeling, projecting, misjudging, or even censorship.
Sexism by itself is not necessarily evil. Our eternal roles are defined, expanded, clarified based on gender. However, when focus on our gender seeks to elevate itself by debasing, or misjudging the other, the sexism, whether expressed in feminism or chauvinism becomes morally wrong.
By revelation we know that Gender and its related roles are eternally existent. Our gender in the spirit world is our gender on earth, and will be our gender in the eternities. The same holds true for the roles attached to our gender. So long as feminism seeks only to exalt the eternal roles and characteristics of womanhood, it can be an honorable, even noble things. However, if it moves to condemn God, scripture, prophets, revelations, etc. as being biased, sexist, immoral, then it defeats its own purpose.
Paraphrasing a political statement from a past prophet...to this issue...one could say: “you cannot build up womanhood, by tearing down manhood. You cannot exalt a woman’s role by debasing the man’s role. "
During the height of the Ordain Women movement, I was censored from some “feminist” cites because I would demonstrate examples from the Church that indicated a preference for women, in contradiction of their many cited examples which they used to try and show that women were being demeaned or oppressed by the church. Those accusers could only see evil, and worse, they saw it where it did not exist. Their gender bias clouded their judgment to where they not only could not discern truth, they preferred their dogma to any suggestions of the truth. In such a state they could not handle anything that questioned their narrative, and censorship was the only way they could deal with that threat.
Sadly, many of those proponents demonstrated that they preferred their dogmas to God, Christ, and even the eternal welfare of their own families. That is a tragic example of the power of malignant gender bias, something Satan has no problem with exploiting.
