Let’s talk about how Christianity has made the community unsafe for women
As a Christian, there are many conversations we could go into on how men have corrupted this faith to enable misogyny and that’s a real conversation, and not the one I’m having here.
Here’s what I’m discussing:
What Jesus thinks about women. In Jesus’s time, Jewish rabbis didn’t speak to women in public. Jesus spoke openly with a Samaritan woman and revealed his identity to her first (John 4:7). Under the purity codes of the time, a bleeding woman was considered unclean, and touching her made you unclean too. Jesus touched her anyway, healed her and called her daughter.
When a woman was caught in adultery and dragged before him to be stoned, he turned to the crowd and said, essentially, let the one without sin cast the first stone, showing that a woman’s dignity survives whatever her past holds against her.
Seeing women from God’s point of view. In Genesis, the word used for woman is “helper,” a word that’s been badly misused. In English, “helper” sounds like maid or servant.
But the Hebrew word is ezer, the same word used elsewhere to describe God himself. That word was never meant to imply inferiority. Men made it mean that.
God’s POV on objectification. There’s a verse I love, Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Notice what God clothes her in: strength and dignity, not a set of rules about hemlines. But we’ve decided, as men, that for a woman to be dignified, she has to be dressed the way we decide, because of our own discomfort with her body.
That’s not God’s standard. That’s ours, dressed up as His.
And Jesus goes even further than that. In Matthew 5:27-28, he tells the crowd: “You have heard that it was said, do not commit adultery. But I say to you, anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Sit with what that actually means. Jesus isn’t correcting women’s clothing in that verse. He’s correcting men’s eyes.
He places the responsibility for lust exactly where it belongs: on the person doing the looking, not the person being looked at. That’s how seriously God takes the issue of objectifying women. He didn’t tell women to cover up so men wouldn’t stumble. He told men to deal with their own hearts.
If safety starts anywhere, it starts there: with where the responsibility actually sits.
God’s will and purpose are greater than human opposition. People may try to stop you, but they cannot prevent what God has truly planned for your life. Even when situations look impossible, faith gives us the strength to remain patient and trust God’s timing. Therefore, keep praying, working hard, and believing, because what God has destined for you cannot be cancelled by people.
