Christians and Feminism

How should Christians respond to feminism?

Christians should respond to feminism in a responsible way. We need to take into account that although feminism, in my opinion at least, isn't a good thing that alot of women today respond to it. We need to go to our sisters in the Lord and help them see that they are doing more harm then good, especially if they are married. I feel that it is a slightly different story.

Anyways, women are designed to do certain things, and they excel at these things usually better then a Man. If we fulfill our God-given duties then we can glorify God. So by rejecting what God has set out for us to do is bad, we need to rejoice in what we have been given. So sense God has designed woman to complete man, be a helper, rescuer and warrior to him and others, it is clear what our duties are. So when we try to ignore these roles or give them to man, it usually doesn't work out. We are built one way and man another, so it is most important that we understand that.

All in all, we need to be equal but in different ways then what feminism asks for. Yes a woman should make as much money as a man, but women do not need to be highly exalted or placed higher then men. Women need to understand, as well as all Christians, that it is important that we fulfill our roles more then anything else.
