Value and True Femininity
By Sarah Stewart, Juicy Ecumenism.
There has been a new addition to the New York City courthouse. In a place normally reserved for historic lawgivers is a semi-human figure meant to represent female empowerment and, of course, the “need” for abortion.
Created by Shahzia Sikander, the statue is entitled “Now” and represents something significant in contemporary culture, and it is tragic.
Whether people realize it or not, a prevailing belief in modern culture is that being a woman is something to be overcome. In order to be empowered, women must become less feminine, culminating in the least feminine act possible, destroying one’s own child.
It is imperative to distinguish true femininity from today’s misunderstanding of femininity as a superficial depiction of women’s hobbies and clothing choices or as a caricature of an overly submissive, diminished woman. True femininity is robust and beautiful; it is living out the virtues as women for the glory of God and, as a result, being a blessing to others, and yes, particularly one’s family.
