Third wave feminism is more about female supremacy rather than merely pro-female equality. It's a segregationist movement and it espouses non-Christian ideals.

Why is this even a thing, thinking women seeking equal pay for equal work should translate
to women also wanting to match men in criminal activity and incarceration percentages?


Frankly my dear, it makes no sense.
Methinks you misunderstood. Criminal sentencing, as in, equal time for equal crime. Generally, women are given far lighter sentences than men for similar crimes.

Adam vs Eve under the curse was in Bible all along before Jesus made peace between the sexes.

Genesis 3:15

Though not so much against men per se, but HER enemy, i.e Satan. Satan has always hated women more so than men as he went to Eve first. She was placed under a curse by having her husband rule over her.
No, she was not placed under a curse. God cursed the serpent and the ground, not the man or the woman. Read the text more carefully.

What it is? Is it a bad thing or a good one? Is it possible to be a Christian and a feminist? I am curious lol coz I heard so much about it....🤔
I’d say that the main problem with feminists is that they do often do not like to hear the truth. God created us to to be feminine, NOT feminists. To be feminine is to embrace womanhood and be the way that God made you. To be a feminist is to want to be the boss, to be, in some ways, masculine. Women constantly talk about how they want to be equal with men. And in God’s eyes, we are! But to be equal in the physical sense means that there is no difference in the way that we look, act, and show love. I don’t know about you, but I want to be different. I want to be the way that God created me to be.

Well, I’m sure she wasn’t from Butler county, Alabama...we appreciate our gentlemen.
it must have been one of those old fashioned stores.
Most stores have sliding doors or no doors.

My library I have to keep the door shut because children just wander on it and run around like its the playground. But it is a hassle when the children dont know how to open the door and PUT THE LATCH on it to keep it open when 30 of them come in.

I cant do two jobs at once be the doorperson AND the librarian.

Jesus says he is the door,
But the other thing he said was he has given us the keys to the kingdom, so presumably we can let ourselves in. And I dont think he gave the keys to just the men!

I dont think its necessarily to want to be the boss, I think its to be just be able to sit at the table! and not beg.


a lot of woman need to beg a man. That is really undignified. Unfortunately, many men treat women like dogs.

I dont know about third wave feminism, sounds a bit scary.

The only thing is, a lot of people who might be the eldest in their family and female, will of course be the boss of their siblings. People assume that the eldest son is going to be the heir but that doesnt always work out.

Thats the reason why queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth took to the throne....Victoria was an only child and Elizabeth didnt even have any brothers! and why isnt duke of edinburgh King. well he married her but the line goes through Elizabeth. I dont know why they arent joint king and queen but thats royalty for you.

This is where feminism goes wrong I believe. The feminists you refer to want to be "just like a man," meaning if a man is able to have an affair/sleep around, so should a woman; the guys have it better. To these type of feminists, this is the way to be equal.

Or similarly, if a man doesn't have to provide/take care of the children, why should the woman. To these type of feminists, that is being equal.

Thank you, I really appreciate you all taking the time 😍🤗 I read all of your comments...Feminism- fights for equality the meaning is so simple yet complex at the same time ...but I feel like I understand it now...not totally but I can say that my understanding about feminism is clearer than before.

Just a short idea where I came from...I live in a country where women can vote,can work and have the same privileges like the men population.

I've been treated pretty special lol I guess 🤔 by men because I experienced men opened the door for me 😅 carried heavier things for me and paid for my food(I really appreciate them) but I never opened a door for an able bodied man yet or carried heavy things for them. I only open the door or carry heavy things for them if the person is an elderly or a disable one...
So I don't really feel like I want that agenda of equality I am not oppressed or I want to be much more superior than men...so far men treated me nicely than some women I've met ...

I've been treated fairly and nicely inside and out of my country... yes, in some rare cases I experienced unfair things happened to me...but it was not because I am a woman but because of some people's sin in their hearts.

This kind of situation happened actually...sad for the kids... The innocent children suffer because of the parents selfish behavior...they don't deserve to have children...😔

Some other people have hinted on it already how the feminist movement started out differently than how it is now.

Many movements start out with good intentions and don't get the recognition they're looking for until they make a lot of noise.

The most extreme of the bunch normally eventually hijack a movement. The extreme version gets the most media attention and represention because it's the most interesting, but it comes to represent the movement and therefore recruits others into it.

Feminism has changed over time, gradually becoming more anti-male. It's in it's fourth wave now, but it's become a female supremacist, pro-abortion, and anti-male movement. These are currently the core pillars of feminism, though they may word it differently.

Hence why I said the most extreme have a natural ability to hijack a movement eventually. Take a look at the other mainstream political activist movements; they're extreme just like modern feminism is.

That sounds like a lot of the ladies down here in the South (USA.) We know how to treat a lady here, and most of them don't want anybody messing with the status quo. :cool:

Jerry Clower, a Southern comedian, was talking about how one time he met "the she-coon of women's liberators." He stood up to give a woman his chair and she got so offended that she sat on the floor and left him standing beside the empty chair to embarrass him. She claimed she intended to liberate every woman.

He said, well let me tell you about me and my wife...
- His wife doesn't have to get up until she wants to.
- His wife can fix her own breakfast or have it brought to her.
- His wife can watch her soap operas in three different rooms (and having three televisions was a pretty big deal back in those days.)
- When she wants to go to town to get her hair done or go shopping, she drives in a gold colored Lincoln Continental.

He said, "Ms. Women's Libber, my wife don't want you messing with the deal SHE'S got!"

Are those Revelation verses about actual women? (Taking into account all of the ways / in context each time the word “woman“ is used in that particular Book?) IDK, just asking?

Let’s be fair.
I don’t think satan’s system and whom he aims his hatred, division, and all general forms of evil can be divided or made into a gender issue? It seems he doesn’t have the time or inclination to dice his overall nasty vibe into sub-groups—whether it be: them, him, her, they, it, White, Black, Light to Medium Brown, Aqua....

*he comes off as an equal opportunity hater? (* he/she/they/it/whatever it goes by?)

Why aim those despicable wicked ways more towards women when you can spread it across humankind as a whole? More bang for the buck?

An even blanket of sin...
with enough material for both sides to wrap themselves up in? No need to hog the sheets, there’s more than enough covers to sleep and lie comfortably (with plenty of room to spare for the dog)
