Women competing with men is creating havoc.

"A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand." (Proverbs 27:15-16)
There is no doubt that the feminist movement was necessary, just as the Union movement was necessary. Both had good beginnings, and both were influenced by Christianity in their beginnings.
However, I believe that the movement has become too extreme, as has the Union movement. It is clear to me that women have been encouraged by the feminist movement to become what God has not intended for them.
As is often the case the example for others is set from the top down. The photos above and below show the celebration of women achieving high political office. Now, I would be the last person to say these women are not capable and high achievers. No doubt they are in some ways. And no doubt they are all very lovely ladies.
But I would add that since this movement to increase the "quota" of women in the workplace, the DEI hires as they are known, especially in Parliaments national and state, we have seen some serious destruction of what we once had as a country.
Just maybe, some of these women are only there just because they are women! They seem to get easier pre-selection than men these days, in which case I understand why the country is in such a mess.
Victoria is a mess on nearly every metric, and nationally we are fast following suite. Both have a large number of women taking charge. It is clear that in both major parties the ladies are not doing a splendid job.
It might just be they are the wrong type of women; too many woke women for instance; women trying to outdo men and losing their softness, their femineity as a result; I am not sure yet. If we had a lot of mature women whose families were already raised and who still loved and respected their husbands, rather than arrogantly competing with them, that may be good. A few Margaret Thatchers would be nice!
Additionally, and generally, not specifically the female parliamentarians, women are at risk of intense sadness, discontentment and despair from what society has made them become.
The destruction of family, marriages, children's lives that has resulted from women believing they need to compete with men is devastating.
Women are so convinced that they need to compete with men, rather than for both husband and wife to complement each other, that childcare services are now the norm.
If, after radical feminism and the woke media and government has demonized men, husbands, marriage and family, a woman is still willing to marry and have children, many of them effectively destroy what God has given them, by placing their children into childcare centers from an increasingly young age.
They hand over the raising of their children to strangers who are increasingly under government instructions to teach these very young children a Marxist government curriculum, even at childcare.
Because the Left, generally speaking, and especially the Communist politburo at the center of our Labor government, led by Anthony Albanese, do not have Christian morality, ethics, or understanding of everyone's sinful nature, they would rather allow a mob of pedophiles into staff positions at childcare centres, putting children at great risk., rather than caring Christians.
All this, so women can effectively compete with men. I know there are other reasons such as finances, but many if those reasons can be solved by better money management, moving to the countryside or grandparents stepping in to help out.
I do think the main problem is that feminism has created a population of women who believe it is not only good for them but necessary for them compete with their husbands. They have become arrogant, rude, disrespectful, and probably the most damaging, ungrateful.
Why would a husband want to work hard to come home to an ungrateful wife, who just nags, undermines, competes, weaponizes sex and affection, accuses of abuse if he complains and asks for affection, or if he asks for financial restraint with the family budget?
Especially when she is off working a job all day, serving and submitting respectfully to another man, her boss. She then comes home and treats her husband disrespectfully.
The woke mindset about marriage is destructive. It is the opposite of what works, Gods way in the Bible. His way works! It is foundational to Western Civilization's success. If we are to defeat the Woke mind virus destroying our nation, we need to return to this foundation.
It is not only affecting young families either, but it is also affecting older women who become infected by this part of the Woke mind virus, propagated by media of all kinds.
To tie it in with the Bible verse at the beginning of this article, this all basically leads to them becoming like quarrelsome and contentious wives.
Instead of complementing their husbands and letting them be what God has created them to be, they seem to think they should complete with them.
They undermine them even though they may not be aware of it. They discourage their husbands, they start to weaponize affection and use their feminine charms to assert dominance.
This has resulted in an epidemic of divorce, young women not even thinking about marriage, and the birth rates across Western nations falling to existential threat levels.
The Australian government involvement has, as usual, made things worse. With their over the top funded "family violence" program now being weaponized against men and families in a monstrous way.
All a wife has to do is accuse her husband of being too restrictive in managing the household budget. This may even be legitimate, to prevent the limited resources from being spent too quickly before the next pay cheque, or to help manage an online shopping addiction, buying all sorts of things, many of which never see the light of day and stay in wardrobes or cupboards.
Then suddenly everyone gives her attention and empathy, and they blindly believe one side of the story, and the government will even give her financial benefits. She loves the attention and so adopts a full on "grievance" narrative.
This betrayal of trust, urged on by our government and blindly encouraged by our society, is often all that it takes to destroy the marriage.
From my understanding of Communism, and my growing awareness that the Albanese government is imposing Communism on our nation, destroying the family is a key tenet of Communism. I therefore see this "family violence" agenda as being intricately involved.
An alternate government would do well to create a narrative which empowers women to want to get married, have children, and stay at home raising them. Believe it or not, this simple formula is one of the best things a woman can do.
The government should pay the mother the same amount it pays to subsidize childcare, to allow young mothers to stay at home with their own children.
They should also provide tax relief for two parent families and potentially pay the mother some superannuation. This would help society much more than funding childcare, family "violence" programs, mental health shams, and all the child focused propaganda programs such as "safe schools' "respectful relationships, which are far from "safe" or "respectful", they are simply Communist programs we the taxpayers are paying for.
