Ep 125: Did Christianity create modern feminism? Is feminism orthodox or heretical? Ft. Rik Storey

Rik Storey joins The Mindcrime Liberty show to discuss, did Christianity create feminism? The idea that Christianity raised the status of woman in the 1st century is fairly undisputed; however, are the forms of feminism practiced today still Christian? The right to vote both in the US and UK was largely pushed through at the behest of Christian organizations. The suffrage movement was very Christian in its aims, and as historian Thaddeus Russell would joke, the first thing they did is ban alcohol in the US. Is the growth of Islam in the West, Paganism and Men's rights movement a reaction to this? Are the modern Western churches, both Catholic and Protestant, increasingly full of and run by women? Is the feminist interpretation of Christianity correct or merely a heresy? When did this heresy begin and how could it be corrected?
