We will look at some of the causes of the controversy:

2.    Radical Feminism. Feminism, in its early days, had a fair and, come could argue, Godly motivation to eliminate the discrimination rampant in pay scales and social structures is a goal that few would argue against. Unfortunately, the feminist movement has undergone a mutation throughout this century. Instead of being satisfied with the goal of equality “ There is neither Jew no Greek, there is neither salve nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus”  Gal 3:28 , modern feminist desire to eliminate any distinctions between the sexes.

One advocate for modern feminism stated, “Feminism is no longer a battle for equal opportunity in a male-dominated society, but a kind of 120step recovery program for wounded women. “  None other than Gloria Steinem once said of members of the feminist movement, “Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.”  This certainly is not a global that squares with Biblical teaching.

God has once and for all declared us equal in terms of value and worth. However, He makes marked distinctions in our roles and functions. Furthermore science also contradicts the radical feminists’ view of the sexes having no distinctions.

Many studies have been done explaining that when men’s rains experience the bath of testosterone and others hormones while developing in their mothers’ wombs, their thinking, behavior, and emotional tendencies are radically altered and remain unchanged throughout life.

For example, in a Harvard study of several hundred preschoolers, researchers discovered an interesting phenomenon.  As they taped the children s playground conversation, they realized that all sounds coming from little girls mouths were recognizable words.

However, only 60 percent of the sounds coming from little boys were recognizable.  The other 40 percent were yells and sounds effects like “Vrrrooooom!””Aaaaagh!” “Toot toot!”   This difference persists into adulthood.  Communication experts say that the average women speaks over 25,000 words a day while the average man speaks only a little over 10,000.

We must resist modern feminism’s attempt to blur the boundary between the sexes. The healthy functioning of a family is not determined by all members acting, thinking, and feeling alike.

Rather it is as the members of a family recognize their God created differences and adhere to their God- ordained roles that the pieces fit together and work properly. Families are torn apart by competition, they are held together by complementarity.
