About this essay
 
     A woman's covering is her husband. I am opposed to anything which breaks up families and marriages. I am against the innocent women, children, men, families and marriages getting pulled into the likes of an ungodly agenda. An agenda that is crumbling moral society, breaking up families and causing destruction of the marriage just because a few belligerent and rebellious women have the need to find acceptance and power outside of the home.
     A woman's covering is her husband. His job is to protect her, accept her, and financially care for her with the available resources he has, whatever that might be.  The woman's job is to accept this wonderful gift and submit to her husband, not to another woman. A woman can not cover another woman. She can not protect her, accept her and financially care for her.

Feminism does not and will not protect a woman when men fight back and take over the positions that have been radically taken from them because of their lack of wisdom. It will not save her when she is getting bludgeoned or raped in some obscure parking lot. 
     I can not stop someone in believing or behaving in certain ways and I do not want to. This newsletter is for the innocent who are unbeknownst to what is happening.
     A woman's covering is her man.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Feminism is 1: the theory of political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. 2: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests - fem-i-nist

This definition sounds comforting and politically organized,  but in actuality the whole case (agenda) for the feminist movement is to control men and breakup marriages and families.  Women already have the same freedoms that men have. What more do they want?
     More and more women are entering the fold of feminism and losing touch with their natural capabilities and gifts given to them by their creator because of their need to control and to be accepted.

According to Noah Webster 1828 the word feminine means 1. Pertaining to women, or to females; as the female sex. 2. Soft; tender; delicate. Her heavenly form, Angelic, but more soft and feminine.
The word Feminist is not in the 1828 Noah's Webster Dictionary. Um, I wonder why?????

A feminine woman is noted for her lady-like qualities and her natural creative ability to build up and restore peace within a family unit. She is a natural nurturer and lover.

A Feminine woman utilizes her god-given talents and abilities to maintain a happy home front and she does it with modesty and gracefulness. At times she may do things that perceive her to behave like a tom-boy, it is because she is working ever so hard to maintain a beautiful life for her family.

A feminine woman has natural abilities to do things that men can not. Even when a feminine woman behaves like a tom-boy her natural womanly qualities shine through like the first ray of sunshine beaming on a rose garden. Need I go further?

The definition of feminine does not fit in with what the feminist movement actually does to gain their many objectives.      
     A real lady (wife, mother) helps her family, rather than try and surpass her husband, boss, counterparts; etc. So remember the words feminism, feminist and feministic are only labels that have been wrongly fitted for the desired outcome and causes associated with feminism or behaving in feministic ways.

A feminist uses her body as a sex tool to control men through their sex organ, while a feminine woman is a sexually beautiful woman created for her husband's eyes only and does not feel the need to control her husband.

[Ironically the word Feminine originates from the word womb; not to be radical, which is the opposite of the feministic agenda.]

I like to refer to scripture and feel that it sums it up well.  Let's go to the beginning.

God's creative work was not complete until he made woman for man. He created her to be his help-mate. Knowing that God felt that man was not complete without her is a sure "tell-tell" sign that the feminist movement goes against the natural beauty of God's science.

God created man and woman for different roles-not the same roles. Each role carries with it exclusive privileges and rights; therefore, there is no room for thinking that one sex is superior to the other.
     Man was the introduction into the world - he was the first course and woman was made from him. This does not mean that she comes in second or is not equal to him, but that she is next to him. Beside him, a part of him working together for the good of mankind and her own family!

What does all this mean?
In the phrase, "the head of the woman is the man," head does not mean to control or have supremacy, but rather "the source of". Because man was created first, the woman derives her existence from man.

The women of the feminist regime are against, even worse, separating from the very existence of where they came from. Therefore the purpose of what these women strive for is against the natural beauty and instincts they possess.  They are separating from the source of who they are and where they came from.  The feminists agenda is attempting to change the natural process and design of God's plan.

Knowing this, we can understand, simply and without complication, why and how this uncharacteristically wayward agenda breaks up families and destroys marriages. Marriage is all about trust and loyalty and is considered honorable to be married. If the natural plan of marriage is falling apart, families fall apart and eventually God's world falls apart.

As you might already know, more than half of all marriages end in divorce. If it is the will of the feminist woman to do what a man does....well than she can't be minding the home, now can she? And what about the children?

Teachers are explaining to the young girls in school that they can surpass men in the world and to compete against them for all the high-powered wielding careers and positions. While the boys are left unattended and drugged up on Ritalin and Prozac.

Why is this happening? One thing that comes to my mind is the diminished spiritual leadership in the home. Some men are not taking their position very seriously, that of spiritual leader and authority. Therefore, the household can not withstand the daily pressure and confusion put upon the hectic lifestyle of today's families. Disorder and chaos wreck havoc within the home very quickly without proper leadership. Who is minding the home? Where is the Helper? 

Obviously, as a part of the natural science of things, men and women were not created to do the same job. But, they were created equal in the sense of their roles that God established for them to do, regardless of who makes more money,  renders the decisions, or who has the most influence in society; etc.

A wife is equal to her husband as His wife and she is equal to him, (as him being a man), as she is a woman by doing her womanly duties and acting out her role as wife and mother. There is absolutely nothing to prove here.

Let's not make this complicated. This is not about a woman not working or establishing a career for herself! If a women wants to work outside the home, I think that's just wonderful if it can be done without jeopardizing her God given role as mother (helper) and wife (helper) in the home.

If the sole bread winner is the man wouldn't it be exact to say that the wife is helping the husband by sustaining a peaceful and happy home front for her husband to come home to!!?

If the wife works out of the home trying to gain more acceptance for herself through political means and strives for a man's pay check, how can she be helping her marriage??! Is this not behaving selfishly towards the whole family?

The reason that so many families think they need to have two incomes is because of decades of media-driven propaganda which tells people to burn their income rather than value and save it.
Alpin MacLaren

Feminism creates an animosity between the sexes that is removing the framework from our society, a society that had made life better for women than it had ever been for the entire history of mankind. More women are being beaten and raped today than ever before in American history, and that is only going to get worse because of feminism and other Leftist causes. Alpin MacLaren

Feminism affects deeply the role of women:
Women just do not get the moral support and encouragement to stay home and be a wife and mother. Women have been driven by outside forces to compete in the market place and to outshine their counterparts. This is done with a vicious intent of the feminist, not the women who realize their rightful position as mother and wife.

Unfortunately, in some instances there are families who feel they need to have two incomes, but this does not mean she wants to work or is a feminist. On the contrary, this means that she works ever so hard to maintain a happy and peaceful home and work at the same time.  

Feminism is not about women who work outside of the home. It is about the position a woman is willing to take when she goes outside of the home to work.

 If she walks her own path down the road to glory, disregarding her family, she is behaving in feministic ways. Her values are confused because of her need to control and over-power men. For if she really cared about her family her ideals would come from the family as a whole-she would be taking care of her family. The feminist woman is selfish and rebellious-she strives for only herself.

Motherhood is a challenging role that is much more complicated than wearing a short skirt and devising ways to gain recognition and esteem.

A woman is already powerful when she can raise her children with honesty, uprightness and love for others. A wife and mother is not just a housewife, she is the core output for the survival of the family and marriage. She is the one who in actuality keeps it all under control, even though her husband is the major authority figure. (Men know this, they just don't want to make out like they do). :0)

A women who realizes that her potential for her own happiness and love derive FROM THE HOME is a real woman indeed. Outside forces do not make someone happy. Just as money does not bring happiness.

Love and self-esteem comes from within yourself.  When you realize this and can apply it to your home life is when the need to go out and find love and esteem  is not that big of a deal any more.

When seeing the fruits of a mothers labor outshine that of a career jetsetter, we can see that the family life needs the woman to help prepare the future for the next and next and next generation.

Instead of women striving to make more money, we should all be striving to eradicate income taxes so women can stay home with the children and be there for their husbands.

Alpin MacLaren, in his book "A case Against Feminism" website has this to say about feminist movement. Check out his website.

Feminism is anti-man. Their "A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle," motto is clearly a declaration of war on the institution of marriage. Men have no role in the feminist world and are merely considered an obstacle to be overcome or removed. The role of husband is now filled only as a temporary position and that is the way feminism likes it. In fact, from the feminist point of view, it is a superfluous role that should be eliminated completely.

Feminism is not compatible with civilization. No civilization is possible without families. Families are where children learn civilized behavior. The weaker the families are, and the more temporary they are, the weaker and more likely to fail is the civilization. Feminism is a dagger aimed right at the heart of families. If that dagger is successfully placed, our civilization is over.

The bottom line is this: God did not create woman to take over the masculine gender but rather to help the male to stay masculine. How on earth can a man compete with a bossy, aggressive, cutthroat of a  woman?   He may just give up and give in, which is what's happening now. When he feels belittled and constantly feels the need to defend himself he will no longer love his wife the way he is supposed to love her and separation or divorce eventually occur.

What do you think about this scenario? Children grow up believing in the "women rule the world". Young ladies enter into the politically driven agenda of the feminist movement, while the young men turn homosexual because of an overbearing mother and an over-powering teacher who behave as if he didn't exist., etc.

Women are on a rampage to control their counterparts, which has nothing at all to do with what scripture says. This new way of life, for the feminist women, does not originate from God, therefore it is unnatural for any woman to take the lead and do whatever her 'hearts content approach'. The marriage and family life will fall apart from the lack of honor, trust, commitment, love, kindness and accountability.

When women apply themselves into the feministic issues, they are actually rebelling against God. This happens  because of their lack of inner awareness. In essence it is unnatural of who they really are and what they are really supposed to do as women.   The natural ability of the woman is to be beside her man and to help him to carry out his duties appropriately for a happy, peaceful and Godly family life. This can not happen when a woman is doing her own thing and choosing her own path without regard of her husband and family.

One of the BIG issues of the feminist regime is to kill their babies.
The right to choose (kill babies) is a feministic agenda and it does not stop there!

How many lives has feminism taken? It is the bloodiest movement this planet has ever seen. Hitler, and his Second World War, complete with gas chambers and death camps, could not reach the body count of feminism. Stalin with his millions of executions could not match the slaughter of the women’s movement. The death toll is staggering and growing at a steady rate of more than a million per year,. More than the number of all the soldiers America has lost, in all of its wars combined, is the number of little children that are put to death in the United States of America each year in the unholy sacrament of the feminist regime.

Abortion is the greatest unnatural cause of death the world has ever seen. Babies are dissected alive, burned to death in the womb, pulled part way out of the womb and then stabbed in the brain and in some cases delivered completely and then thrown into a bucket of water and drowned. This, all in the name of the feminists’ twisted claim to a “Woman’s right to choose.”

A sincere cause
The U.S. Constitution

We live in a world where people like to get involved. And that is a good thing, especially when it is helping so many at one time. Every time you think of your own rights and freedoms, you might think of how this country's principles and morals were founded and it brings us back to the great document, the Constitution.

Men, women and even children fight for the liberties of this document. Patriotism originates from our Godly Forefathers who utilized scripture as the foundation of the Constitutions structure giving the "Cause" of Freedom and Christian Patriotism a sense of connection and oneness with one another and which does in fact help build strong families and sustain happy marriages for it stems from the creator of the world.

<Feminism is an agenda to control the political arena of men, families, marriages, children., etc. The cause of which does not originate from God. God created and then placed women for man's benefit. We are to lift up man and allow man to take his rightful position in the home, to comfort, support and protect  woman. 

This whole thing, woman against man is a laughing stalk. I truly believe that, in time, men will regain wisdom and partake in their god-given masculine abilities and talents. I mean how far can this charade really go?

                  My Blog
My personal thoughts on the subject as a wife, woman, and mother is I am not threatened by this agenda. It does not even really affect me or my family. Yet, lately I have been seeing more propaganda about the feminist agenda that I feel should be explored more closely. Not in a analytical way, but in a more realistic and practical way.
I think that most women really do not understand what they are getting themselves into as far as upsetting the home front and neither do most men.

All things in society come together in a slow moving, sort of brainwash way that when it does finally hit its peak it either subsides because of controversy or it continues to move steadily further. If the latter is the case, then I hope that I will not be around to witness its destruction on society.

As with all "Causes" there is always objective, motive or "a means to an end". Like the Constitution, which is a great fight, is based upon a godly foundation and is a scriptually sound  doctrine. Its principles are based upon the rights and liberty of all mankind, (women included). To fight this cause with gusto is helping out all of mankind. Its fight causes us to love God, our neighbor and our self and we don't even know it, because it is so natural. We fight this cause to keep society together. And it does.

When I think about the cause of feminism, I can not find the spiritually based foundation. It never was. It started from the air and a few good people got sucked in.  Where did it come from? What is its basis for existence? It certainly did not derive from a scripturally sound source. It is in fact, totally against what the word of God says of how a woman is to conduct herself.

When we seek out the basis of a particular plan is how we can see more clearly when something seems confusing to us or when we are not sure about the moralistic annotations of a particular plan, such as this feministic one. We only need to seek out its existence to see more clearly. This is why I brought on the above example about the Constitution. In this fashion we can easily discern between what is morally right and wrong.

On the outside, it may look nice and shiny and all polished and pretty, but on the inside it is rotten.

How does feminism affect marriage?

It affects deeply the role of the man:
When a man is unable to protect and financially care for his family with the admiration and regard he so deserves, just because he is the man, he will invariably take his interests outside of the home, which causes turmoil in the family.

The natural function of a man is to be the masculine partner. If he feels threatened in carrying out his masculine duties he will seek support else where or worse, turn against God. Once he turns his back on God he will have lost his purpose in life and allow his natural manly qualities to waiver. He will be afraid to instinctively manage his house hold, even though that is what he would really like to do.

If a husband feels that his wife should stay home with the children and not work, then she should not work. It is out of honor and respect that a wife grant her husbands wishes on this issue. He is basically saying that he wants to be the sole bread winner and that he wants to support and protect you. What is wrong with that?

The man who gives up materialism so his wife can stay home and be with the children is a good man who understand the issues at stake.

Many issues are at stake when a wife feels the need to work outside of the home when she really does not have to. Look at society with an eye for wisdom and you will see what is happening. Need I say more?
