Is Jesus a feminist?

Vonsalza:

I don’t see where she makes an argument for that.

I based that comment off this quote of hers: “This idea that women need to be able to do every last thing men can, is nonsense and defies nature and logic.” Typical red-pill stuff.

Oh well she’s spot-on about that. For our first few millions years of evolution, males were more physically suited to perform tasks “away from the campfire” while women (and, thus children) stayed “near the campfire”.

[Note: “campfire” is used figuratively. Yes, I know our forebears didn’t wield fire 3 million years ago.]

The evolved differences provide the reason why many Olympic events are divided by gender, among an ocean of other examples.

Now in roles where our bodies have little effect? I don’t see where any sex would have an inherent advantage. But that primitive fitness remains - for now, anyway.

Men are, on average, larger and stronger than women.
If full quality is wanted, then we should have universal standards
(unlike this New concerns that lower fitness standards fuel disrespect for women )

 

[Maximilian75]

But, in other roles, this difference can be, honestly, dangerous- New concerns that lower fitness standards fuel disrespect for women

I have already posted this, but it remains- Women need to be required to operate on the same level of physical fitness as men, and sometimes thats not possible.

 

[Curious11]

I don’t want female dominated societies either. I want gender equality in power

Yeah. I remember doing FTX at Fort Knox, KY back in ROTC and I was totally cool with the feisty, firey females that were out on exercise with us.

But I was keenly aware that there was no way in hell any of them could haul me off the field if I got injured. I also remember sticking the 40lb crew-serve with one of the ladies on another exercise.

Did not go well.

I don’t disagree, but women who are physically strong enough to go toe-to-toe with men shouldn’t be disqualified from doing so simply because they’re women.

Agree 100%

Females in line units also have that tendency to end up banging half the unit and causing all kinds of issues.

My brothers last deployment saw 6 marriages ruined by 1 female specialist and some dirt bag husbands.

Women generally didn’t work when Jesus was born in the same sense they do today. They instead played a vital familial role in the household.
However, they were believed to be in general less reliable than men, which adds credibility as the gospel says women were the first to the tomb to find out about the Resurrected Jesus.

No doubt, Jesus didn’t agree with the social conventions of His time. However, I see no reason to believe based upon the Gospels He agreed with modern feminism.

 

[TheLittleLady]

We cannot put the modern societies hash tags (lerftist, right wing, feminist, democrat) to Christ. He is not going to fit into our boxes. He is Love and Truth.

 

[TheLittleLady]

Good thing that is not Scripture.

Women and men are not monoliths. Individual people have individual strengths and capabilities, and forcing people into certain roles (especially where the workforce is concerned) based on their genitalia is just so primeval

This is the problem with viewing things through an individualist lense. Women on the whole tend to be suited to different vocations than men, and therefore it serves the societies best interest to enforce certain stereotypes as a means of preserving stability.

 

[Maximilian75]

Absolutely. I have immense physical respect for those women who can, but they are a statistical anomaly.

 

[michaelArc]

For me, Feminism = Angry, bitter women who terrify me and who believe are not fundamentally different in any way to men and should act and behave like men, which includes being as selfish and aggressive as possible.

So I will say no. Jesus is not a feminist.

 

[Curious11]

Yeah but people are given crap sometimes for not fitting into stereotypes, from women who body build to men who are sensitive

 

[whyeyeman]

What’s your point?

[Curious11]

My point is to let go of stereotypes, they make people feel uncomfortable for not fitting into those stereotypes. It happens to introverts who feel self-concious about not being more extroverted, for example

 

[whyeyeman]

Stereotypes are usually based on reality. People as a whole benefit from being pushed towards certain vocations.

 

[Curious11]

Maybe some are, but I don’t think the majority of them are
