'A Matter of Choice'
In our PC (politically correct) culture we are constantly bombarded, although bullied would be a better word. We are bullied into the idea that men are toxic and women are superior beings.
I'm here to tell you what we are being forced to pledge allegiance to is a lie. And I'm not talking about our country's pledge of allegiance.
We have toxic femininity exploding all over the place, and toxic—anything toxic is poison.
A number of years ago I began searching for a basis to address WHY in certain areas of morality. For instance, WHY is the playboy culture wrong.
Specifically, why is it 'wrong' for a man to have a cadre of females who are willing to fulfill his needs without him ever making a commitment.
The playboy culture is the epitome of selfishness. 'Taking care of my needs and I'm not responsible to give anything back.'
Perpetual childhood—remaining a child indefinitely isn't what life is about.
Step back a moment and consider, who are the most vulnerable in our society? Historically, at the top of the list would be women and children.
Traditionally, it was the man of the family who protected those in his care, including those in the household the young and old, servants, women and children.
Feminism isn't new, but in our memory feminism began in earnest with the hippie revolution, in the 1960's just a few short years after playboyism.
Feminism may have been a knee jerk reaction of women to the playboy ideology. These women wanted to be like men. And as one speaker said, 'they want to be like men, and not even like good men'.
Feminism and playboy culture are the same selfish ideal. Women who want to 'sleep around' without commitment. Only that doesn't work well for women.
In our culture, women have more power than they know what to do with. We don't live in an 'Arabic' culture where women have to wear gunny sacks and bow and live in fear of our men.
Moral choices can only come from a moral source. Not human beings whose opinions change with human studies and/or human ideas. Morality that fluctuates like the waves of the sea.
Morality matters, and as C.S. Lewis says, 'There are some things that are right, and some things are wrong.
Playboy culture (which includes feminism) is wrong, in part because it objectifies the opposite sex.
Feminism paints marriage as an oppression of women, when in fact marriage is something that lifts women out of slavery and places them in a role of value.
Honestly, most men and women don't want to flit from one partner to the next. Most men and women want one partner and one meaningful relationship for life.
Like Esau who didn't value his birthright, neither male or female values them selves in that scenario. Both males and females need to realize that even though humans are sexual beings, we are not mere animals that act solely on instinct.
We are beings responsible before God. Just as we can plan for the future, we can exercise self-control. Even in emotional/sexual situations, we can leave the cookie on the table and wait for the right person to come along.
Genesis 6:5 "And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6) And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7) And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
