Feminism’s Goal was to Create a Monster. They Succeeded.

Years ago, I loved watching Ina Garten cook as the “Barefoot Contessa” on Food Network. She was so warm and friendly. Her food always looked delicious. I loved the way she treated her husband, Jeffrey. She seemed to love serving him and making him happy.
I just watched an interview with her recently. She had a rough childhood. Her mother was cold and never showed her any love. Her father was strict, and she could never gain his approval. That sounds horrible!
She married Jeffrey when she was 20 years old. He was kind to her and supported her, things she never received in her childhood. When they married, she was the wife, and he was the husband. She was at home and cooked, cleaned, and did the laundry. Then, the Women’s Movement began, and her “consciousness” changed. She no longer wanted to be a wife. She began resenting her role as a wife. She wanted to be “partners.”
So, this is where the term partner came from, from the feminists, of course. It was just another way to destroy marriage. This was their ultimate goal. I knew I didn’t like the term partner. I have always loved husband and wife! God clearly defines the different roles in marriage, but feminism convinced women to want to be men and do what men do. I never wanted to be a man or do what men do.
My husband told me that in the business world, there’s almost always a senior partner and a lower partner, or a less productive partner and a more productive partner. There’s rarely equality. He said the best partnership is when one partner has the majority of the ownership. Every institution runs better with one boss. Two bosses created a monster. Feminism’s goal was to create a monster, and they succeeded.
Ina also didn’t want children. It would interfere with her job. She couldn’t have created a cooking show like she has if she had children. Now, she is 78 years old. She has a fortune. I will never understand women deciding against having children for a job in the workforce. They are missing out on the greatest blessings in life.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2

I am a farmer’s wife. Fields and garden, crops and barn. And in these things, my husband has named me as his partner in partnership with him. Even though I am his partner, I am the “submissive partner.”
I pack his lunch (if he’s not eating it at home), wash his clothes, clean, care for the children and am over all a full time homemaker, helpmeet, wife, and Mom.
I very much agree with your main idea here, Mrs. Alexander. I am a young man, 25 years of age. My beautiful wife is 20, and we are expecting our first baby girl to be born in January. It has been difficult, given that we were both raised in the emasculating, women-powered world of today, but we strive to live that biblical way of life. I work M-F and take care of hard tasks, and she stays at home cooking, cleaning, and preparing for the baby.
I told my wife that there isn’t necessarily a need to be chasing a degree when God has made it clear he wants her to prioritize motherhood. It is very hard given that our families do not live this lifestyle and have actively tried to counsel us out of this type of dynamic, as they say it is dangerous and limiting for a woman. My wife has had her moments where, to me, it shows that learning how to be a biblical husband and wife will take time, but the Lord is always with us and the graces of the sacrament (as we’re Catholic).
I love reading your articles, ma’am. I wish that we could meet with you and your husband for counsel. You are very wise, and your words help me to further see the errors of feminism and how it ruins both men and women, and how women truly are not independent of man, as the Bible tells us: man is made for God’s glory to do his will on earth, and woman was made in the glory of man to be his helpmate. Equal in dignity but different in role. Not egalitarian nor complementarian. Man is the head, and woman submits. Both do it out of love for God! God bless you.
Thank you, Ari. God’s ways are perfect. He is our Creator. Satan is the prince of the power of the air. His goal is to kill, steal, and destroy. Ignore those who give you unbiblical counsel and continue to walk on the narrow path that leads to life! Read the Bible together and pray daily. My husband and I do this. It’s such a blessing.
