There is a lot of mischaracterization about Patriarchy and what it means. A man wrote this on Facebook recently in response to something Doug Wilson said:

“I have had people who self-identify as Partriarchalists (and who admire Doug Wilson and see him as a kind of leader for their cause) tell me that ‘Patriarchy’ means women can never: Work outside the home (whether married or unmarried), have an income producing business inside the home, vote in elections, run for political office, go to college, get a seminary degree, lead a women’s Bible study, teach a children’s Sunday school class, write books, have a podcast or blog, sing in a worship team at church. Some promote Classical Christian schools for boys but say girls don’t need formal schooling (just need to learn domestic skills). Some say a woman is never to refuse her husband sex for any reason (even health related or during a period), and l’ve had several claim that rape is not possible within marriage because ‘a man cannot transgress in his own garden.’ The thing is, every one of these positions is extra-Biblical.”

I don’t agree with this man’s critique of Doug Wilson. Patriarchy, in its general description, means men are to lead and be the ones in authority in the homes, churches, and nations. I agree with Patriarchy since this is how it is in God’s Word. God placed men as leaders in the homes, churches, and nations. Everything I believe and teach, I try hard to stay true to the Bible and not allow feminism, which has permeated everything, to influence my thinking. We need a lot of wisdom and discernment in this day and age.

I don’t believe women should work outside the home since God commands them to be keepers at home (Titus 2:5). They can made some money from home if there is a need, and it doesn’t take them away from their duties as a wife, mother, and homemaker. There’s many ways for unmarried women to make money without going to college and being in the workforce. Check out the Proverbs 31 woman!

Women shouldn’t vote in elections since women overwhelmingly vote Democrat and for abortion. I am not sure how this man can’t see what a mistake this has been for our nation. Women shouldn’t run for political office either since they are to be keepers at home. Women in politics are the complete opposite of having meek and quiet spirits.

I am not a fan of college since it’s steeped in feminism and Marxism. (Read Charlie Kirk’s book about college being a scam.) None of them teach women how to be godly wives, mothers, and homemakers. College’s purpose is to train students for careers while causing them to go into deep debt.

Women definitely shouldn’t go to seminary since the purpose of seminary is to train men to be pastors and preach. Women can learn from their biblically qualified pastors at their church.

The only Women’s Bible Study women are biblically qualified to teach is biblical womanhood which is clearly spelled out in Titus 2:3-5. Women teaching children’s Sunday School classes should be carefully overseen by the male elders of the churches, since they are the ones held responsible for what is being taught.

I am not sure who teaches that women can’t write books, have a podcast or blog, nor sing in a worship teach at church. I have never heard anyone who stands against these things unless these things take them away from home where they are speaking in conferences, or it takes a lot of time away from their home and family duties. Who teaches that girls don’t need formal schooling, just learn domestic skills? I think this man must have made this one up.

Most husbands won’t demand sex when their wife is sick, and there are ways to please a husband without intercourse during a period. Rape occurs in a marriage where the husband is cruel and is physically abusing her. In this case, a wife needs to find a way of escape ASAP.

No, not all of these positions are extra-biblical as this man claims. Some are very biblical. This man has just become feminized in some of these areas like most people are these days. Most of the things he mentioned are what feminists fought hard for. Feminism is total rebellion against God and His ways for women. Don’t be deceived, women.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus 2:3-5
