Alt-Right Women Asked to 'Choose Submission' to Grow Political Movement

The self-described homemaker was educated in a "little fundamentalist Christian enclave" where values of tradition and reason were upheld above all. "All we studied was Jesus and science there," Bloomfield said of her early education. Today, the 37-year-old writer and mother of three preaches that women should return to a more "traditional" way of life on her website, Judgybitch.com. She claims that women shouldn't have the right to vote, and has blamed young girls who dress and act suggestively for their own cases of sexual abuse. Bloomfield represents part of what appears to be a tiny minority in the "alt-right" community: women. "I'm quite comfortable calling myself a homemaker," Bloomfield said.

Article: Can a Male Saviour Save Women? - Philosophical Investigations

Historically this anti-woman use of christology reached its clearest formulation in the high scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas argued that the male is the normative or generic sex of the human species. Only the male represents the fullness of human potential, whereas woman by nature is defective physically, morally and mentally. Not merely after the Fall, but in the original nature of things, woman’s ‘defective nature’ confined her to a subservient position in the social order. It follows for Aquinas that woman cannot represent headship either in society or in the church. Article - Mary Daly and the Male Saviour - Philosophical Investigations. Mary Daly and the Male Saviour JM Wood In Daly’s discussion on the doctrine of Jesus, she claims that it confirms the existence of the sexist hierarchy because the Christian faith does not accept that Jesus was a limited human being.

She states that if women want liberation they will have to reject Christological formulas as idolatry. As God becomes limited in women’s consciousness the more they will be able to stop thinking about Jesus as the “Second Person of the Trinity” who has historically being assumed to have had a human nature in a “unique hypostatic union” (Daly 1985:69).

Daly’s response to this question is drawn from Tillich. Women must find the courage to be. This entails a new fall, a true fall, one not into sin, but rather out of the degrading patriarchal system and into the background. Only by doing so may they encounter New Being, which is their true Being and their Old Being, obscured by patriarchal myths. Article The Theology of Mary Daly - Philosophical Investigations.

What is the role of women in world religions? [Infographic] - World Religion News. Pope Francis won't support women in the priesthood, but here's what he could do. On March 13, Pope Francis will complete his first five years as head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Francis won't support women in the priesthood, but here's what he could do

Since his election, Pope Francis has engaged the estimated 1.2 billion Catholics and innumerable non-Catholics worldwide with his frank, inclusive talk on issues as diverse as poverty and homosexuality. In fact, many observers seem confused by the church’s apparent willingness to reconsider traditions regarding some contentious issues, such as divorce. However, Francis has drawn the line at extending full priesthood to women. Devout Catholics have spoken out boldly on both sides of this issue. But, that door, Francis has repeatedly said, “is closed.” As a scholar specializing in both the history of the Catholic Church and gender studies, I believe Francis’ refusal comes from his unwillingness to challenge a foundational Catholic doctrine known as “apostolic succession.”

The Catholic Church has historically been unwilling to violate this doctrine. Romans 16:1 Commentary - John Gill's Exposition of the Bible.

Patriarchy and the Hebrew Bible

But patriarchy is not a biblical term, and its relevance as a description of Israelite social structures can be challenged. What does “patriarchy” mean? “Patriarchy” comes from the Greek words for “rule” and “father.” It usually means that the father had absolute control of families or clans. By extension, it also indicates male control of an entire society, with women excluded from community positions. Was ancient Israel a patriarchal society?

Several biblical passages reflect these revised ideas. The age of patriarchy: how an unfashionable idea became a rallying cry for feminism today. On 7 January this year, the alt-right insurgent Steve Bannon turned on his TV in Washington DC to watch the Golden Globes.

Do young women preserve faith better than young men? This is what a study jointly published at the beginning of 2018 by the Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP) and the Benedict xvi Centre for Religion and Society of St Mary’s University of London seemed to prove. This report on the religious practice of young adults from 16 to 29 years of age throughout Europe reveals significant differences between men and women, especially in France. Thus between the ages of 16 and 29 three French women out of 10 identify themselves as Catholics as compared with only two men out of 10. This is a difference that is also found in Islam, given that 12 per cent of young French women identify themselves as Muslims, as opposed to 8 per cent of young men. The phenomenon, obvious at the level of the younger generation, is also observed in previous generations and concerns all geographical areas. How can this gap be explained?
