A group of conservative Christian women is seeking 100,000 signatures on a “True Woman Manifesto” aimed at sparking a counter-revolution to the feminist movement of the 1960s.

Introduced at a gathering of more than 6,000 women in early October, the document calls not for equal rights, but instead proclaims that men and women are created to reflect God’s image in “complementary and distinct ways.”

That includes the idea that women are called “to honor and support God-ordained male leadership in the home and in the church.”

“That is very explosive stuff,” organizer Mary Kassian described the campaign Nov.25 on a radio program hosted by Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. “It is countercultural, because the world would be screaming at us, women would be screaming at us: ‘What are you doing? All those rights that we fought so hard for, how can you say ‘ust give that up and say that men are to be the heads of the homes?’

“The basis on which we do that is because we believe that is taught in Scripture,” Kassian explained. “And we believe that is a blessing for women and not a curse against women, and that actually when we live according to God’s design, we find blessing and peace and wholeness in our lives.”

So after 50 million abortions, 40 odd years of kicking men in the teeth at every given opportunity, and the wholesale obliteration of anything remotely resembling a family…the American female wants to sue for peace? I cant help but wonder if the imploding economy and the lowest marriage rates in recorded history have something to do with this sudden urge for reconciliation. All well and good, of course, but there is a little something American females forgot to take into account. The growing (skyrocketing?) trend of American men getting married to foreign ladies. Myself included, of course. I wont deny that this is a step in the right direct, but I think the only way to restore faith is 40 years of respect for men and boys. But that will only begin to restore some faith. Till then, I will forbid my future sons to marry an American female, and urge my future daughters to value men or look forward to a future filled with chocolate and cats!

I’ve been enjoying a childfree life, busy career, and loads of cats, chocolates, friends, art, church, martinis, and dozens of other blessings for a long time now, without exhausting my womb to a loveless marriage. Get out of the dark ages and allow society to evolve to its potential. Not every man is threatened by real women- they’re the ones enjoying our love and friendship without animosity.

Hi Barb, and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, you seem to be confusing evolution with progress. They are not synonymous. To be sure, an evolutionary process has been taking place for quite some time now, one that has worked hard to facilitate both the tendency and ability of fine young women to become wastrels of their true God given potential, and engage in the lifelong pursuit of empty, fruitless, self-centered indulgences and fornication’s. Contrary to your implication, I do not find someone of this particular variety to be a true picture of a “real” woman. Indeed, this is not anyone to be threatened by at all. Regardless, it is our intention, God willing, to see this ungodly process come to an end very soon, one way or the other.

I am a born again, married female physician who is married to another MD. I have found that men who are secure in themselves are not threatened by an intelligent, self assured, accomplished woman. Most men married to foreign mail order brides ended up divorced within 5 yrs. Good luck to you.
