The Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood has posted an article by Courtney Tarter who has identified the theological core of feminism and the struggles that it presents to us in every generation. She writes,

 

What we must understand about feminism is that it did not originate in the wake of the women’s liberation movement of the 1970’s. And the mother of feminism is far older than Ms. Magazine and her friends. Feminism started in a garden in the Middle East thousands of years ago. Feminism is at the very heart of our fallen nature, and manifests itself in many different forms.

She speaks powerfully about the struggle it is in modern feminist culture to think biblically about it,

 

"Prior to conversion I was the stereotypical Generation Y feminist—anti-marriage, anti-child rearing, and corporate ladder hopeful. After conversion I sang a slightly different tune, although held onto many of my previous ideals regarding marriage and settling down. I simply masked it with a missions/ministry focus, content to be the single girl on a mission to save a third-world country for Christ."

 

One of the most helpful aspects of her testimony surrounds the issue of where to begin,

 

"Recovering from feminism must first start with an embracing of the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ."
