Do Christian Women Really Want Patriarchy?

Do Christian women really want patriarchy? Do they even realize what they are promoting?

From the article linked below:

In patriarchal societies, the male head of the family had absolute power over the dependent females of his family, both legal and economic. In patriarchal households, a man’s subordination to his father was temporary; it lasted until he left his father’s house and began his own family. Subordination of women and female children was lifelong. As long as the wife lived, she was subordinate to her husband. Whenever a female daughter left the home to get married, she became subordinate to her new husband.

When women really understand the implications of returning to patriarchy, the restrictions, the violence, and the limitations placed upon women by patriarchy, I am sure that with one voice they will reject such a return to a primitive and oppressive system.

Freedom from patriarchy means that a woman is free to make decisions that will affect her life today and in the future, such as choosing whom to marry or whether to obtain an education. A return to patriarchy is a return to oppressive submission, to a loss of freedom, and a loss of voice.
