Thus, their goal is the total destruction of the traditional family. When we consider the radical nature of feminism and its agenda to overthrow the family that is structured after the Biblical model, we would be wise to pause and ponder how successful the feminists have been in remaking the family according to their own design. The fact is, that in Western society, feminism has been enormously successful in destroying the traditional family. This feminization has taken place in the last thirty years and with little opposition from men. As cowards wither before the charge of a determined enemy on the battlefield, men have fallen away in fear at feminist charges of sexism, repression, tyranny, and exploitation.
Nothing seems to have terrified men more than the angry glare and words of feminist ideologues.
When we say that the feminization of the family has already taken place, we do not intend to imply that the feminists have fully reached their goals in regard to the family. We mean, rather, that a revolution in family life that is due to feminist influence and in accord with feminist ideology has already come to pass. As we approach the year 2000, the social institution of the family is far more in line with the vision of Betty Friedan than with the teaching of the Apostle Paul. The feminization of the family can be observed in at least six areas. Divorce First, marriage has been destabilized and divorce is rampant.
