Raden Ajeng Kartini was a first wave feminist and is a national hero in Indonesia.
The pillars of her feminism were:
A. Family. This included deep love and respect for her father and husband.
B. What women are as mothers.
C. Education where teachers strive to be like mothers to their students.
D. Pride in her own people and culture.
If only modern feminists could be more Kartiniist.
I believe that is what a true fourth wave of feminism needs to aim for: nomore misandry and no more marginalisation of mums.
Like Kartini when she wrote with pride of having new life inside her:
“A great, sweet happiness awaits me. If Gods so wills it, toward the end of September, there will come one sent from heaven to make our beautiful life still more beautiful, to draw the bond closer and tighter that already binds us together. Mother, my mother, think of the little soul that will be born from our two souls to call me mother.
Can you picture it? I a mother! I shall make you, old Moedertje, I shall make you a grandmother! Will you come later on to see your grandchild? ......... My husband is so glowingly happy because of this new life which I carry under my heart. That alone was wanting to our happiness.”
(A letter to Holland written 101 years ago today by Javanese Princess and Indonesian national hero, Raden Ajeng Kartini.)
Kartiniism.
Could this be Indonesia’s great gift to the world?

“They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
Matthew 15:14
Sounds like effective demographic jihad:
The wholly distinct function and distinguihed rôle for a human female is described in the teachings of the New Testament Apostle Paul:
For women in general:
1 Timothy 2:8-17 (AV; bolding or underscoring added for emphasis):For older, wiser women and their relationship to younger women/girls::
8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Titus 2:1,3-5 (AV;for emphasis)These things above pertain to females who want to relate to and please the Heavenly Father, things wiha no male nor transgender (whether idolizing a change from male to female, nor vice versa) can ever accomplish, particularly the propagation of the human race in its variety by normal means.
1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Women who think otherwise are either ignorant, illogical, mentally defective, or oppositionally contrary and defiant, or all of these, and seem to Biblically committed to the destruction of humanity as was Satan from The Beginning.
To do as the Lord commands glorifies both the Mighty Creator and His Creation, of which being her likeliness was the acme of it.
