Baptizing Feminism🎥

The abundance of posts for International Women’s Day were breathtaking! What testimonies to the fact that women were created in the image of God!

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

The highly strategic marketing of biblical patriarchy and complementarianism through the decades. Many GenXrs grew up not knowing anything different. Hopefully they'll hear more from theologians & scholars pushing back w/differing & sound theologies.

Women’s submission "theologies" are imbedded in such networks. One family vote, no fault divorce, shun women in military...Found under-radar gender role theologies are taught in military related organizations Bible studies. @sarahposner.bsky.social @julieingersoll.bsky.social

Yes, women were named "Ezers" just as God was many times in the #Bible. But the patriarchal branch loves the English translation of women in Gen as "helper"-tiny little helper, subservient helper.🙄

Still can't get over these youngster, juvenile complementarians on gender roles and wifey submission. This is a version of the Piper/Grudem script after it traveled through decades. Sigh.

Interesting POV!

Right?! Ugh!

So true, so much ignorance, anti-intellectualism, misinformation multiplied on these issues, too.

Why We Need Women to Lead Us By the time I was a young adult, I had taken in so many messages in the church that told me that as a woman, I would always be who I am in submission to the men around me.

"The world still doesn’t value women the way it should. But still, we are here, and our courage is not dependent on whether the government or society or the church says we have a voice."

The Anti-Christian Core of Feminism Gress ... asked whether or not such a thing as “Christian feminism” is possible. She believes it is not possible. Feminism, she found, is concerned with “control and power,” whereas Christianity focus...

The marketing of anti- Christian feminist scripts are most often deeply ahistorical & narrow minded. Like the arguments in a new anti-Christian feminist book by Carrie Gress that's gotten much press..hope more historians who oppose her views will offer rebuttals! juicyecumenism.com/2026/02/06/a...

1920s poster women put in their windows. Yet, due to state laws, for decades many women of color couldn't vote. We can't go backward. Take a stand for women's rights & for the heroines who led the way. Biblical patriarchy networks today are at work toward turning back the clock.

She is lovely, looking forward to the book!

Vast evangelical networks claim this Bible verse exempt women from preaching & leading in the church. For the many who say, "it's biblical",...."from Genesis to Revelation, women were anything but silent!"- Mimi Haddad, President of Christians for Biblical Equality

How about some of women theologians and scholars?

Photojournalism at its best... I've been corresponding w/this 91-yr-old photo journalist about securing rights to photos of Marabel Morgan needed for our film. He's still at work w/exhibits, writing books, etc. Love this series photos of turbulent America decades back! www.jplaffont.com/exhibitions/

Commencement 2018 - President Jimmy Carter YouTube video by Liberty University

Reflecting on President Carter's 2018 speech at Liberty Uni at 25:00 -- that one of the largest global challenges is the abuse & subjugation of women & girls. Right before that he said he thought it was that a handful held the world's wealth. Hand in hand they go.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Yes,.yes..far too often they go hand in hand.

Can Embattled Women’s and Gender Studies Programs Survive? Scholars say recent Republican-led attacks on the field are nothing new, but nonetheless alarming.

⚠️"Texas A&M University’s move last week to close its women’s and gender studies program is highlighting the longstanding vulnerabilities of a field that grew out of the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s and ’70s and raising questions about its future." www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

& patriarchy 👉"I believe the crisis in the US church has almost nothing to do w/being liberal or conservative; it has everything to do w/giving up on the faith & settling for a common, generic US identity that is part patriotism, part consumerism, part violence, & part affluence." Walter Bruggemann

The Philosophical Shift Behind Complementarian Thought: From Plato to Aristotle How Greek philosophical thought influenced biblical interpretation

It's enough to compare the way Jesus related to women w/male led church history & mainstream evangelical networks now, that claim women are "ontologically inferior". This wasn’t due to a theological predisposition but rather "the writings of Plato and Aristotle dominated..." tinyurl.com/9nb5xta9

When Can Women Teach Men? The Problem with Complementarian Logic Those who believe in a God-ordained hierarchy of men over women, and of an eternal prohibition on women teaching men, are rarely consistent.

Vast networks of evangelicals believe God bars women from teaching men scripture, but this article clears that up with lens on Marcella who taught Jerome -- and never knew Henrietta Mears taught Billy Graham & others scripture.👇
