Hay everyone!!!!
I’m sorry not to sound rude but, I’m not to acknowledge anonymous comments.
I know this is a touchy subject for almost everyone on HSB, but it’s been bothering me lately so I would like to post my opinion. I’m not trying to impress what I believe on anyone here, I’m just stating what I think is right. I’m also not meaning to sound rude or insensitive to people to people who are against feminism.
I personally can’t understand how you can possible be totally against feminism. In Genesis 2:21, 22, and 23, it says the following: “Then God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the person; and while he was sleeping he took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which he took it with flesh. The rib which God, had taken from the person, he made a woman; and brought her to the man. The man said “At last! This is bone from my bone, and flesh from flesh. She is to be called woman, because she was taken out of man.””
As you can see from the verses above, truth be told, the man would be less whole than the woman if the weren’t together. There are some people who say that it is acceptable for a man to be single without a woman, but it is not acceptable for a woman to be single without a man. If anything, neither should be able to be without them, not one or the other, yet, it does seem from the verses that man would be more prone to be less whole without a woman that the other way around.
Another thing from Genesis, 1:27 is the following, “So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created mankind: male and female he created them.”
So, unless one side of God is superior and one inferior, there should be no gender roles because God made man and woman equal in God’s own image. So, I think, if you tell yourself, or any girl or woman, that you should only be a housewife and a stay-at-home mom, you are actually lowering yourself to be inferior to a man, and are putting your own self down! God didn’t make woman as a servant or a slave, he made woman to help and be a part of man, so they could work together, not serve one or the other, they were made to help each other through their lives.
Something else has always stood out to me is how some girls or women who are against feminism always say women shouldn’t work because the work place is somewhere for a man. In Ruth 2:1, and 2 is says: “Naomi had a relative on her husbands side, a prominent and wealthy member of Elimelekh’s clan, whose name was Boaz. Ruth the woman from Moab said to Naomi, “Let me go into the field and glean ears of grain behind anyone who will allow me to.” Naomi answered her, “Go, my daughter.””
So, Ruth worked, and she was still a biblical living woman. Yet, she did hard work, that the women who are against feminism, would say isn’t allowed, so, the women who are against feminism, would they say that Ruth was wrong? No, they wouldn’t. And I wouldn’t either, because Ruth wasn’t wrong, it isn’t wrong for a woman to work. It’s perfectly fine, because we are as capable, and as worthy to work out of the home if we so chose. I’m not trying to sound as if, I’m saying that women should work, but, I’m saying nothing is wrong with it at all!
Therefore, if you are against feminism, you’re telling yourself that you aren’t worth more that staying at home, and that you aren’t equal to a man, and are not able to get an education and accomplish more in life. Also, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with staying at home and taking care of your children. When you’re married, but, I think you should definitely go out in the world and be able to be who you are before you settle down and raise a family.
With all that said, I’ll be going now, I hope no one took any what I said wrongly or was offended, that wasn’t my intention, I was simply stating what I think.
