Feminists who look down on “feminine attributes” are actually masculinists.I have often wondered why “feminine attributes” (what ever that means) are considered inferior to so called “masculine attributes”. It seems to me many if not most modern day
feminists are anything but feminine. They extol the virtues of masculinity while despising anything remotely feminine. They despise and attack womanhood with more self righteousness than men ever have. They look down on womanhood as some what diseased and unclean. No religion has attacked womanhood with a harsher title that that given by feminists.
To be a gentle, understanding, loving and kind mother, wife or religious is not an inferior goal to seek.
Sure, as soon as radical feminists stop trying to claim the label solely for their brand. They have traditionally been the loudest and most successful at pushing the agenda, and true femininity has been slighted.It really needs to stop – painting all feminists – with the same brush of radical feminism.

Also, remember that male and female are sexes, not “genders”. “Gender” is a grammatical term for masculine or feminine words. “Gender” has been hijacked by radical feminists and homosexualists to change the conversation from biological sex to an amorphous, fluid “gender role”. It doesn’t help that people now feel prudish about saying the word “sex” and feel it’s “politer” to say “gender” but it’s playing into their hands when we adopt their language.
Your friend doesn’t know what she’s saying. All feminism is a struggle not for equality but redistribution of power. Her words are a distortion that conceals a larger agenda of feminist animosity towards the male-led Church.I have a feminist/anti-catholic friend who says that women need to have more qualities to be met to be fit for canonization in the CC. I assume she is referring to virtues expressed by the person, and that maybe women need to have “feminine” qualities to meet this criteria.
Anyone care to shed light on this, or refute this?
Try telling that to my grandmother, a suffragette.Your friend doesn’t know what she’s saying. All feminism is a struggle not for equality but redistribution of power. Her words are a distortion that conceals a larger agenda of feminist animosity towards the male-led Church.
Women are well-represented among the greatest saints. Your friend needs to remove the distorting lens= of feminism and take an objective look at our amazing female saints.
I agree. Femininity is not inferior to masculinity. I think that is were many radical feminists have made a mistake.Try telling that to my grandmother, a suffragette.
She was a supporter of a woman’s right to vote but other than that she was a faithful Catholic. Not all feminists are alike.
