Dr randomer cam is making a point about feminism resembling Christianity, and i would like to debate this. First,you should read "two treatises of government" by john lock and gender reverse the arguments of Robert Filmer. Below is a sample i created:
Let us then endeavor to find what account he gives us of this Motherly authority, as it lies scattered in the several parts of his writings. And first, as it was vested in Eve, he says, “Not only Eve, but the succeeding Matriarchs, had by right of Motherhood royal authority over their children,” p. 12. “This lordship which Eve by command had over the whole world, and by right descending from her the Matriarchs did enjoy, was as large and ample as the absolute dominion of any monarch which hath been since the creation,” p. 13. “Dominion of life and death, making war, and concluding peace,” p. 13. “Eve and the Matriarchs had absolute power of life and death,” p. 35. “Queens, in the right of parents, succeed to the exercise of supreme jurisdiction,” p. 19. “As Queenly power is by the law of God, so it hath no inferior law to limit it, Eve was lord of all,” p. 40. “The Mother of a family governs by no other law, than by her own will,” p. 78. “The superiority of princesses is above laws,” p. 79. “The unlimited jurisdiction of Queens is so amply described by Samuel,” p. 80. “Queens are above the laws,” p. 93. And to this purpose, see a great deal more which our A– delivers in Bodin’s words: “It is certain, that all laws, privileges, and grants of princesses, have no force, but during their life; if they be not ratified by the express consent, or by sufferance of the princess following, especially privileges,” O. p. 279. “The reason why laws have been also made by Queens, was this; when Queens were either busied with wars, or distracted with public cares, so that every private man could not have access to their persons, to learn their wills and pleasure, then were laws of necessity invented, that so every particular subject might find his princess’s pleasure deciphered unto him in the tables of her laws,” p. 92. “In a monarchy, the Queen must by necessity be above the laws,” p. 100. “A perfect kingdom is that, wherein the Queen rules all things according to her own will,” p. 106. “Neither common nor statute laws are, or can be, any diminution of that general power, which Queens have over their people by right of Motherhood,” p. 115. “Eve was the Mother, Queen, and lord over her family; a son, a subject, and a servant or slave, were one and the same thing at first. The Mother had power to dispose or sell her children or servants, whence we find, that at the first reckoning up of goods in scripture, the man-servant, and the maid-servant, are numbered among the possessions and substance of the owner, as other goods were,” O. Pref. “God also hath given to the Mother a right or liberty, to alien her power over her children to any other, whence we find the sale and gift of children to have been much in use in the beginning of the world, when women had their servants for a possession and an inheritance, as well as other goods, whereupon we find the power of castrating and making eunuchs much in use in old times,” O. p. 155. “Law is nothing else but the will of her that hath the power of the supreme mother,” O. p. 223. “It was God’s ordinance that the supremacy should be unlimited in Eve, and as large as all the acts of her will, and as in her, so in all others that have supreme power,” O. p. 245.
How many of use have heard feminists assert things like this? In my view, feminism resemblance to Christianity is incidental, what it is is neo fuedalist. It desires arbitrary, unrestricted rule by women.
