Excellent article Nataliya German, thank you for teaching so well! Does anyone else notice parallels between Valloton's reasoning and that used by christian attempts to justify and normalize homosexual behavior. Oh but for that outlier Paul! and oh the Old Testament doesn't speak to it! Thank you Nataliya for showing how the whole Bible speaks to it, starting with Adam. And what it says is good. What customs and cultural influences shaped the order of the first family? Only our Lord's.

Good article with good points!
I’m a man who has been blessed by women. Some of the nicest people I know are women. Great Christian women, such as Ruth Graham and Corrie Ten Boom, have done much to help further the Kingdom of God. My own mom is a great mom who loves God. However, there's a double standard of misogyny being (rightfully) despised in America, yet there's widespread acceptance of radical feminism, which is clearly at war with men. A retired professor from Grinnell College wrote a column the Washington Post found suitable to print in which she actually said, "I hate all men and wish all men were dead."
Then there’s Marcie Bianco, an author on the NBC news website. She had an opinion piece in which she said women are, "increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression."
To quote Marcie Bianco, “Men continue to coerce, harass, rape and kill girls and women - and go to extreme lengths to avoid responsibility for their actions.” Clearly, she’s unfairly generalizing as she paints a very bleak picture of men. Yes, there are men who’ve done wicked things, but the men who commit the wrongs are the ones to whom guilt belongs, not everyone who belongs to that gender.
Tragically, much of the church seems to be silent on the subject of feminism. Even worse, some Christians have even teamed up with the feminists, promoted their ideas and are on board with the so-called “empowering of women.” But in reality, feminism is not good for men or children (literally unborn babies are dying because of it). Even women themselves are hurt by feminism. Because feminism goes against what God says in the Bible about family, authority, and the roles of men and women. For instance, Ephesians 5:23 says, “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”
Then there’s Titus 2:3-5 which says, “Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
Ideas have consequences and some of the consequences of feminism are strained relationships, divorce, single parent families, men being demeaned and demonized, and worst of all, the rejection of God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son.
