As we reflect on Women’s History Month [March], let’s not allow it to be an opportunity to push destructive ideologies. Instead, let’s reclaim this month as a time to honor the true, God-given role of women as nurturers, builders of homes, and pillars of faith. Feminism won’t save America, but strong families, led by men and women who honor God’s design, will.

March is designated as Women’s History Month and it should be a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and accomplishments of women who have shaped families, communities, and nations.

However, modern feminism has hijacked this celebration, distorting womanhood into a self-serving ideology that undermines the very institutions that provide true strength, stability, and purpose to women. Modern feminism promised empowerment, but instead it delivered loneliness, broken families, and spiritual confusion.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, it’s time to ask: Has feminism truly helped women—or has it deceived and hurt them?

The cost of feminism has been devastating, not just for women but also for families, children, and society itself. What began as a movement for equality quickly transformed into a rebellion against biblical womanhood, marriage, and the family unit. Rather than encouraging strong households where men and women work together, feminism has promoted a destructive narrative: that women don’t need men, that government should replace fathers, and that success is found in rejecting God’s design for the family.

This isn’t just a social issue—it’s a theological issue. Feminism has redefined what it means to be a woman, moving away from God’s ordained roles toward an ideology that prioritizes career over children, self-interest over sacrifice, and power over partnership.

The Historical Shift: How Feminism Evolved

First-wave feminism began in the 19th century, focusing on women’s suffrage and legal rights. While many early feminists championed moral and family values, the movement gradually shifted in the 20th century.

By the time of second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 70s, the focus had turned to sexual liberation, no-fault divorce, and the rejection of traditional gender roles.

Third-wave feminism, emerging in the 1990s, took this idea even further—embracing gender fluidity, abortion advocacy, and the demonization of masculinity.

Each iteration of feminism moved further away from biblical womanhood, prioritizing autonomy over family and individualism over community. What started as a fight for rights became a campaign against God’s design.

Feminism’s War on Fatherhood and the Family

One of the most devastating effects of modern feminism has been its attack on men and fathers. Under the guise of “liberation,” feminism painted men as oppressors, rather than protectors and providers, leading to a culture that devalues masculinity and prioritizes single motherhood over marriage. What was the result?

• The government became the husband, the welfare check replaced the father, the illegitimacy rate skyrocketed, and feminism called it “progress.”
• No-fault divorce laws, championed by feminists, led to skyrocketing divorce rates, weakening the marriage covenant and leaving countless children without a father in the home.
• Cultural messaging now glorifies independence and sexual freedom over biblical marriage, creating a generation of women who prioritize career and casual relationships over building strong families.

The consequences have been staggering, among them:
