“Man and woman alike share equal responsibility from the start."

While both were charged to managing the earth, the man was given the higher positional responsibility. Thus he was the first to be called and charged with sin, as he hearkened unto the voice of his wife, (Gn. 3:17) and also blamed God for giving him such a free-willed women.

Yet the women sinned by being deceived by the devil's attempt, who, as the originator of the "occupy movement" ("I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"), and like a Communist, sought to persuade Eve to subscribe to the victim-entitlement mentality, and "share the wealth" scheme, that God the land owner/law giver, was selfishly holding back from her that which was rightfully hers, that of Divine power, and thus she should take that which was hers.

And so she voted liberal, while overcomers by faith, by which they were first made to sit in heavenly places in Christ, (Eph. 2:6) shall sit with Christ in His throne, even as He also overcame, and am set down with His Father in his throne. (Rv. 3:21)

But which the devil sought and more, as the original liberal elite who presumed he deserved it. And being cast down, as he that exalt himself will, became the first community organizer, who seeks his will to be done on earth as it is in his kingdom, which he hopes to come.

And who sees his victories in persuading souls to follow those who call evil good and good evil, from idolatry, and exalting men as if they were divine and false corrupt gospels (incldg. Catholicism) to killing the innocent, to perverting what God hath joined together in marriage with the demonic imitation. Thus a vote for those who support such is a vote for the devil and his damned kingdom.

But i digress.

Please do not suggest that Bible supports feminism in any fashion. Proverbs 31 is in the context of the advice of a mother to her son, a prince, on how to choose a wife. The advice harmonizes perfectly with the patriarchal system found in the rest of the Bible. The wife described is a woman of character which is described as rare thing. She cares for others even rising up early to cook for her servants. She is others minded and works in concert with her husbands wishes that he can sit at the gate. This is all antithetical to feminism, it is biblical patriarchy as practiced in the station of a king and queen.

So what is feminism? Feminism is the reordering of the God created created order particularly as it applies to the place and role of women. Let us never forget that Adam was condemned for listening to his wife instead of to God. He was the covenant representative of the human race and his exaltation of his wife above his own authority and his desire to please her instead of God led to the fall. Feminism denies the doctrines of authority and seeks to venerate women often by denigrating men. It seeks egalitarian status when it finds it advantageous, but rationalizes male expandability when it egalitarianism is disadvantageous. Feminism seeks to empower a woman separate from the family and is willing to destroy the family for power. The Bible teaches submission, diligence, others minded, contentment and living without fear of her husband or not getting what she deserves but the fear of God lived out in accordance with His design. No! There is no such thing as a celebration of feminism in the Bible.

..." I was intrigued that this holy woman spends her time training herself, producing, selling, investing and trading. She even embarks on several new business ventures .......

Where have we heard that before?

The Biblical Model of A Family-Loving Feminist is found at the end of the Book of Proverbs.

It depends on how you define feminism.

If it means pro-capitalism and the right of ability to advance regardless of gender, then that’s fine.

If you mean feminism in the sense it is defined in this country today, no.

Feminism in that definition is anti-family in every single sense, and there is room to interpret otherwise. Feminists do not “love family”.
