Feminism
Feminism is the belief that women should be treated like equals and thought as equals with men. Eighty years ago women were rarely seen in the workforce and if they were, they were very under paid. Women revolted and started the Feminist movement is search of equality. Today this movement has sprung itself to extremes, by lowering work standards, raising benefits, and upsetting the balance of family roles. The non-extreme feminist belief and movement can be seen in the Bible. In the beginning God created both man and women to have specific and different roles. The women has the roles of being a life giver, a rescuer, and a completer. The man is the little king, the poet, and the rememberer. Feminism sometimes attacks these roles saying that they are oppressive. Women who are the life giver are suppose to care for the life they gave, but feminists say that women shouldn't be stay at home moms but out in the work force like men. Feminists teach sometimes the opposite of the Bible saying that women do not need to submit to their husbands but themselves be the the little king or sometimes not even have a husband but be promiscuous like some men. All of these things are suppose to make women happy and let them be individuals for one time on history. Sadly women like companionship's and relationships, but being on your own and always working takes that whole factor out of their lives. Christians should see women as equals to men, but women must also treat their man as equal also. Feminism was a necessary idea but should stop at equality with men rather than trying to powers away from men and overpowering them.
