Jasymne Theodora makes content about the art of femininity, lost female education and tradition. She noticed that online the feminine ethos being championed are primarily two different ‘kinds’ of femininity i.e. Godly and divine goddess. Both fall under the femininity umbrella but are complete opposites.
You might ask how completely
different these views are since divine and godly might be seen to mean the same
thing. We’ll lay the two paradigms out and leave for you to weigh and see which
is more in line with the Christian faith and values.
Divine goddess Feminine says:
You are a goddess. You are
perfection. You can do no wrong. Do whatever you want. Love yourself first. Queen,
live by ‘your’ truth. Be fierce. Be independent of men. Be sexually liberated. Own
your body and show it off. The future is female. Girls run the world. Be loud
and proud. The universe provides everything I need. I manifest all my desires
and my thoughts become reality. I am abundant and eternal. Smash the patriarchy.
God is a woman.
Godly Feminine on the other hand
has the following fundamental principles that undergird it.
God is powerful. God is
abundant and eternal. God provides everything I need. You are not perfect,
repent of your sins. Deny yourself and take up your cross. Submit to God and
your husband. Honour God with your body. Save sex only for your husband. Serve others
and put yourself last. Love your neighbour as yourself. Be a keeper of your
home. Be a helpmeet to your husband. Be kind. Be meek. Be humble. Be chaste. Be
pure. Be modest. Be holy. Honour men. Respect men.
When laid beside each other it is
clear which upholds the values of the message that Christ preached as the Good News.
Maybe you’ve never really thought about femininity quite like this before and
there are other topics you might not have examined either. What’s true though
is that now more than ever, the principles foundational to Christianity have continuously
come under attack and there’s no likely hood that it will stop any time soon. In
the days ahead, knowing your values and what you stand for will be tested,
whether privately or in the public space. So, people of faith must realise that
things are only going to get more interesting as cancel culture and ‘wokeness’
will be the mainstream and anyone that goes counter to its philosophy will come
under fire.
