I don’t believe critical theory has as much a play in feminism as propaganda does. Critical theory from my understanding has more to do with liberating the oppressed, and bending social construct to make necessary change for functionality. Since I’m not a woman, much less a woman in the 1960s, my perception of their oppression is incomplete. Clearly there was a double standard and their voice was mute. Change was needed in order to increase perceived value, absolutely! However, I feel the champions of feminism just threw gas on a fire. Instead of creating a symbiotic environment where men and women could exist in harmony, they created a competition for supremacy. Competition is a fantastic way to cause dormant skills to surface. The cost for most people of becoming excellent at something is being inadequate at other things. What the women gained in workforce presence they lost on the homefront. Since men are biologically and psychologically more engineered for protecting and providing and women for tending and nurturing, there is imbalance, in the home and the individual. When my daughter told me she wanted to be a firefighter I asked her a question. If our house was on fire and someone had to bust down the door and carry her family out safely, would she prefer a six foot, 220 lb, muscular man show up, or a 5’-4”, 140 lb woman? I didn’t tell her not to but there’s a good chance she would have got the position because of her marks, and gender, not her ability to do the job better.
Your final question isn’t even biblical. Equality isn’t even a consideration. It’s like the family is a unit, and the Church is a unit. We all have our roles, and play our parts. Seeking power that is not given to us, whether male or female is unbiblical.
