While liberals have criticized Christianity for its treatment of women, they ignore the fact that Christianity values women and motherhood far above most other religions. Most cultures and religions range from ignoring the value of women to enslaving them. Most of the benefits women enjoy are the result of Judaism and Christianity. Though men oversaw the business of the church, the women oversaw the needs of the community. They served formally and informally as teachers, nurses, and Social service workers caring for the needy in the community. Most of those who mistreat and devalue women in our society have nothing to do with the Christian faith. The wife-beaters and the pimps are not only outside the church but are strongly condemned by the church. While liberal women claim that society views women as sex objects, our society as a whole, due to the influence of Christianity, condemned such a view. It is the liberal influence which has resulted in the increasing view of women as sex objects in our society. Liberal women, true to the liberal philosophy ignored the facts and used such arguments to open the door to allow women to use themselves as sex objects to attract men and have opened the doors to the widespread exploitation of women we see today. As a result, it has been increasingly difficult to enforce laws protecting women from rape and children from incest. (See “Truly In The World, But Not Of It-part-A” under “”Women’s Liberation And Women’s Rights” by Lulu Press) While they claim that they are pushing for the liberation of women, they have broken down the laws protecting women, which their mothers and grandmothers fought so hard for.

We are faced with an attack on women like never before. Our country was founded by people who believed that a man protected his wife and she worked right along side him. Men did not dominate women but worked with them to build America. While women weren’t allowed to vote or actively participate in government affairs, they were highly respected. Perhaps men felt they were protecting women or they were protecting the family, but women weren’t looked down on generally. Some men dominated women and abused them but it does not seem to be a general practice. Men that abused women or mistreated them often quickly found themselves put in their place by other men who did not tolerate that. Women were active in civic work and charity work as well as working to improve their communities, as well as taking care of their children and helping care for both sets of parents as they got older. Mothers trained their children for taking their place in society while their husbands worked or they worked alongside their husbands on the farm or in a family business. The liberal philosophy has actually degraded  the place of women by demonizing staying home to raise kids and traditional women’s occupations like nursing and childcare. It has demonized women in general and forced them to be like men, causing them to be ashamed of their natural desires and feelings. It has demonized men and turned women against them and wonders why they don’t get along. They have destroyed the family and disrupted the normal training of children so many children are reaching adulthood while still thinking like children and our society has paid dearly for it. Society expects the school to train up children like the family did but it doesn’t work because the kids don’t have any consistent example. Society now says that a single man or single woman, or two men or two women can teach a child what they need to know to be a boy or girl and how to relate to the opposite sex when the children never see it demonstrated. Society expects a boy or girl to grown up to be well adjusted while it confuses kids so they can’t even figure out if they are a boy or a girl. The current trend is not seeking to build a better future like they claim, they are seeking to destroy civilization so they can seize control.
