Ten Resolutions of a New Feminist Man

The answer to the question of women's rights, as with all other serious questions, is in an understandable, sensible and revived Christianity.

-- Vladimir Soloviev

In his 1995 "Letter to Women," Pope John Paul II, continuing in the tradition of his encyclical Mulieres Dignitatem, stated what may be considered the fundamental theme of New Feminism:

Unfortunately, we are heirs to a history which has conditioned us to a remarkable extent. In every time and place, this conditioning has been an obstacle to the progress of women. Women's dignity has often been unacknowledged and their prerogatives misrepresented; they have often been relegated to the margins of society and even reduced to servitude. This has prevented women from truly being themselves and it has resulted in a spiritual impoverishment of humanity.

As the pope illustrates here, New Feminists desire to find and appreciate the place of women in the modern world. They seek to overcome the mistakes of the past, mistakes which have limited the role women have had in the public sector. New Feminists want to hear the voices of women and what they have to say on what it means to be human. They do not reject the masculine; rather, they want to understand how the masculine and feminine complement each other.

[Eucharisted]

Let us pray they root themselves in God, for without Him no cause is worthy and reason gets shoved aside.

 

[CreedIsChrist]

I think the term "New feminism" is a bad one. In fact the word feminism isn't even used in his letter. Rather the Pope is talking about the dignity of a God fearing woman who are feminine and have theological virtue.

There are WAY to many modern feminists who have infiltrated the Church and they use writings like this to justify their position. The point is, when you support feminism, modern feminism, you support their abortion and divorce/marriage battle too. Out of feminism came the likes of Margaret Sanguer and Betty Freidan. The seeking to pervert Gods roles of man and woman have left a huge midst of destruction in their path; the destruction of families, a 40% increase in divorce, the emasculation of the husbands role, roe v wade being legalized, and BC being pushed on society.
