Patriarchy vs. Feminism

This is not a political post.  Patriarchy exists in "left-wing" camps even when they don't notice it!  Yes, when a man is promoted as either talented, handsome, skilled or sways an audience in some way or another, a sort of patriarchy is promoted!  A sort of compassion for the human condition and its trials exists in the heart of a man.  Essentially it would simply be labeled as -masculinity-.

Feminism exists in the "right-wing" camps when they stand up for a woman's RIGHT to choose life for a child who may not live more than two years outside of the womb.  It exists when a woman has a terrible pregnancy and a terrible marriage filled with neglect and heartache that could take the life of the mother and other woman understand and seek to support that woman during that time.  They do not support abortion, but they are willing to understand the situation at hand.  A sort of compassion for the human condition and its trials exists in the heart of a woman.  Essentially it would simply be labeled as -femininity-.

If a person is a down right "wicked" feminist, she comes along and robs the poor man of his home and dignity.  She could be a stay-at-home-bible-thumping woman!  Yelling at "feminists" when a woman is still crude to other men, does nothing to solve the issues in the human heart.

So how do you show a hand of support for those who are suffering in this world (in your own home and outside of your own home?).  Key word -LISTEN-.  Truly listen to what the TRUTH happens to be both biblical and in the physical world.

The battle isn't against men (patriarchy) and against women (woman's rights).  The battle is against EVIL in the heart of man and woman!  Saul was a wicked man before he changed his heart and became Paul (and it was NOT the hand of man that changed his heart!).  The adulterous woman who was not careful to keep her self from sinning (she didn't want to acknowledge God's laws), only became a transformed woman in her heart when she acknowledged her Savior and found a way to do what is right! (it was NOT the hands of WOMEN that changed the heart, it was the words of JESUS).
