Take a look around you and see the other countries in the world and really think about it. The norm is fascism and autocratic rule. Thats whats going to happen here if you tear it all down people. I truly hope you are unsuccessful in your horrible endeavour. Your marxist power-struggle has been tried and MILLIONS died. Stop it!

There is much we can do. […]

How about Sweden?

They’re European and have not reached gender equality in leadership roles across all fields yet.

Sweden seems like a desirable place to live though, for men and women.

Fair point.

What can we do besides banning pornography though? The sex positive feminists would likely oppose this as well.

I so agree with your emphasis on the need for the new birth. That is in fact what I hoped to communicate in my comments. When one is born again and grows into a disciple (taught to obey Jesus’ commands), then love and service becomes their modus operandi whatever social structure they are in. Can that mean the “smashing” of patriarchy? Sure it can, but that should not be the goal.

My whole argument on this matter is simple – to try and replace patriarchy with egalitarianism…if that is even possible… is misguided and no cure for male aggression and abuse. Let’s preach the gospel and grow Jesus followers. That is our charge (Matt. 28:18-20). The Spirit of God does the change in us. Peace.

YES, YES, YES.

“Mind-Control and The Imaginary Authority”

As long as god is a man, man will think he is god.

So when we love people and use things, rather than use people and love things, this is the right way round. “God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all” 1 John 1:5. Abuses in patriarchy show darkness contrary to God’s commands. Genesis 3:16 “he will rule over you” is a disastrous description of the results of sin with disobedience after the Fall into sin by breaking God’s Commandments. We need to work to overcome these disasterous consequences, and not repeat them. Women as “Eve” need to overcome wrong “desires” for men with unhealthy dependencies and needs, fuelled by Rince Charming fairy tales and romantic Hollywood movies! ! ! Sadly, female dreams are shattered when Pronce Charming turns into Lord Lustful with painful consequences. Movies which portray men as sexual predators in using and abusive roles and the whole pornograhy business have warped and disastetously Mis-educated our boys and men. Satan teaches how to kill, steal and destroy. Men are taught to desire +emulate power, status and position – the opposite of how Jesus lived and brought in the Kingdom of God. Power came from his Heavenly Father to be used for good, to heal and liberate captives. Jesus “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8.
