Scholar warns feminism has become a ‘megachurch’ replacing faith, family and Christian virtue
I personally have an issue with this article. The scholar's argument that feminism is a "megachurch" that forces women to choose between family and fulfillment overlooks a significant reality present in her own life.Carrie Gress argues the movement functions as a secular megachurch targeting women with false promises
An author of 11 books, including an upcoming title on feminism, says the movement has evolved into a kind of secular "megachurch" with its own doctrines, rituals and moral code — one that she argues now serves as a substitute for faith, family and traditional Christian virtue.
“Feminism actually is not a subset of Christianity. It's actually a rival to Christianity," Carrie Gress, a fellow at the Institute for Human Ecology at Catholic University of America, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

Through its own ‘commandments,’ ‘virtues,’ ‘evangelization,’ and even ‘a sacrament,’ feminism has become an exceedingly powerful megachurch."

By criticizing women who seek a career, autonomy and individualism as inherently anti-Christian, she is clearly not grasping the fruits of her now modern opportunities given to her by the foundational work laid by these like minded women of feminism.
I say this is shameful at best and hypocritical at worse.
Thanks for sharing.
