This was not as bad as I expected for the modern feminist church. Its not full fake Christian Complementarianism which was a relief.
I think Paul has it right and the language is clear. Women need to submit to husbands just as husbands need to submit to Christ and love their wives. But feminism cannot abide any end to female rebellion and so we must all promote feminism. And yet even in the church the product of feminism is the abandonment of the Proclamation and the generations having less and less children until the Church now has less than the replacement level. The fruits of feminism are obvious. We should not be ashamed to call the tree evil.
