WOMEN’S DAY UNDER THE BURNING RAGE OF FEMINISM

By Andrea Guachalla

From north to south, east to west, International Women’s Day was celebrated on March 8th, though… perhaps “celebration” isn’t the best word to describe it. It was not a day to celebrate women and womanhood, femininity, and the design and privileges God has given females, but rather an expected set of… protests. All over the world. Protests aiming to teach women what they are supposed to fight for, what they ought to value, and what they ought to look like (or not look like).

If you had been able to travel the world that day and witness all the protests, you would have probably experienced everything from near indifference to dismayed disbelief.

All over you would have seen thousands and tens of thousands of women protesting on the streets. From Japanese women marching calmly and orderly on the sidewalks of Tokyo to Indian women walking in their traditional colorful clothes. From French women protesting topless as if to prove that by their nakedness women are equal to men (?) to Mexican women purposely setting fire to female police officers who were sent to contain the feminist rage (picture above). I must say… As an ex-feminist, and as a woman myself, I am ashamed in their place. And I am because I am sure they are not.

If you type “International Women’s Day” on Google you will find dozens of articles speaking about the “revindication” of women, their violated rights, the need for equality, and their being victims of the patriarchy, the hetero-normative, and even capitalism… There is a reason Argentinian feminists proudly state that “without feminism, there is no socialism.”

There is so little room to oppose the feminist narrative that all we can do is wonder: Is every woman supposed to stand for their ideology even if they do not want to support the movement? Are men, who are often discriminated against by the feminist movement, supposed to be silent spectators? Are we supposed to silently let feminists destroy the world God gave us to steward and let them demean the meaning of womanhood, family, marriage, motherhood, and even life?

In the protest that took place in the city of Vienna, where around 2.500 men and women gathered, someone was carrying a sign that read:

“Remember, reclaim, rage, reparation.”

In the feminist world, that is what we are supposed to do: we are supposed to resent all men, because of how they wronged our ancestors from the beginning of civilization (have women really only experienced oppression?), although women have all the fundamental rights men have, we are supposed to reclaim some kind of “special rights” just because we are “oppressed”, we are supposed to reclaim the right to kill our own babies, for instance, and are entitled to hurt other women who disagree with our narrative, we are supposed to live enraged and discontent, even if we have more examples of good men than bad ones. We are supposed to ask for reparations, but who is supposed to pay for those “reparations”? The list is endless…

According to the feminist narrative everyone is supposed to pay, especially men and the church, and feminists are the ultimate judge of all that is good and what is not. Feminists might use excuses, and a tactic of victimization to advance their ideology, but the truth is that (and we saw it this past week), although they claim to protest for equality, life, and justice, their very thinking, and self-centeredness stand for inequality, death, and injustice.

Feminist women falsely claim to be fighting for equality, while at the same time discriminating against men on the basis of their gender, not their actions; they claim they fight to stop femicides while not having the least concern for the 62 female police officers and 19 civilians who were injured (some severely) by the violent feminist protests in Mexico DF; they say they fight for life while stubbornly pressing governments to legalize the killing of unborn babies and funding abortion clinics… How does this make any sense? They say they fight for justice while using a holiday like International Women’s Day as an excuse to go around cities burning businesses, and smashing cars – many of them owned by women -, burning crosses in front of churches, and destroying the interior of temples…

And all this nonsense while asking everyone to join them, because if you don’t join them, you are “anti-women”… even if you are a woman.

What is a real woman nowadays? Does being a woman entail fighting against the “patriarchy” and femininity itself? Does being a woman mean defending sexual promiscuity and the right to kill unwanted babies as a way to be equal to men? Does being a woman mean living only to care for ourselves, and our dreams, and our pleasure, and our careers, and our well-being while being oblivious to those around us? Does being a woman assume men are evil and refuse to see the goodness of men for society, the church, and the family?

I dare say yes, yes, yes, and yes. That is to be a woman… A feminist woman.

Now let’s ask ourselves, does the Bible stand for any of those things…?

That’s gonna be a “no” from me.

A real woman, beautifully, and graciously designed by the Creator of all things is nothing like what the world and the feminist narrative ask us to be. A woman designed by God is a woman who fears the Lord and loves Him, which is the beginning of godly wisdom, a woman who guards her heart because the springs of life flow from it. She is a creature that seeks to serve God, her family, and her neighbor, and someone who praises God for the gift of bearing life in her womb, seeing it as a privilege that she gets to raise children under the instruction of the Word.

How privileged are the women who are after God’s heart that they need not hate men, society, and assume the worst of others, but can rather embrace the design God has given each one according to their God-given gender. Godly women praise the Lord for how he has crafted men as providers, leaders, and protectors, and women as helpers, administrators, nurturers, and life-givers. A woman who seeks to understand her design biblically will comprehend the fact that her roles as a woman, wife, mother, and church member are different from that of men, but that does not make her more or less than them; she knows that God Himself said that “we are all equal in Christ” (Gal 3:28).

That… That is being a woman. A godly woman.

What a world of difference there is between being resentful, and being forgiving, being outrageous and seeking peace, hating one’s body by subjecting it to abortion procedures and exhibiting it, and loving how God has crafted it to give life and care for it. How utterly different it is to invest one’s time, energy, and resources solely in one’s self-indulgence as opposed to wisely stewarding it to live a life of service to God, the family, our neighbors, and the body of Christ.

One side will meet you with self-centeredness and despair, the other will meet you with a gracious God who can give peace, joy, purpose, and meaning not only to Christian women but to all who would come to Him in repentance putting their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our ultimate standard of holiness, love, and service, who died on a cross, was resurrected and glorified to reconcile us with the Father.

Can you recall that sign from the protest in the city of Vienna?

“Remember, reclaim, rage, reparation.”

Interestingly, this slogan was written in support of the feminist movement under the text “TRANS REVOLUTION” by a group that also supports transgenderism. All over the world, the feminist movement is widely supported by lesbianism, and transgenderism (note all the gay-pride flags in the protests) with the aim of redefining womanhood, family, and life. In practice, this proves to be much more anti-woman than any other movement or chauvinist culture. Instead of calling women to love their femininity, it calls them to hate it; instead of calling them to nurture and protect life, it calls them to overturn society, and harm life.

How good is God who does not call us to do any of what feminism calls us to, but the exact opposite. We need not remember past grievances, rage against God, men, and society, and reclaim that the world repairs our sense of victimhood, but we can rather:

“Thank (1 Tes. 5:18), forgive (Ef. 4:32), love (Jn. 15:12), and serve (1 Pe. 4:11).”

Thank God for the gift of life, forgive those who offend us or hurt us, love God, our neighbor, and even our enemies, and serve without distinction.
