Patriarchy and Misogyny in the Church.

The church is meant to reflect the heart of God, a place of love, truth, healing, justice, and spiritual growth. But like every human institution, the church is made up of imperfect people. Because of this, some churches and Christian spaces have unfortunately allowed patriarchy and misogyny to thrive under the guise of “biblical order.”

What Is Patriarchy?

Patriarchy is a system where men hold primary authority and power in society, leadership, family structures, and decision-making. Not every form of male leadership is automatically harmful, but patriarchy becomes dangerous when it teaches that women are naturally less intelligent, less spiritual, less capable, or less important than men.

Biblical leadership was never meant to be domination.

What Is Misogyny?

Misogyny is the hatred, contempt, or deep prejudice against women. Sometimes it is loud and obvious. Other times, it hides behind jokes, teachings, traditions, or “that’s just how things are.”

Misogyny in church spaces can look like:
- Silencing women completely.
- Treating women as spiritually inferior.
- Excusing abusive male behavior.
- Blaming women for men’s lust.
- Shaming divorced women while protecting abusive husbands.
- Teaching women that suffering silently is holiness.
- Reducing women only to marriage and childbirth.
- Ignoring the gifts, intelligence, and calling of women.

These things may happen in church culture, but they do not reflect the heart of Christ.

Jesus never operated with Misogyny.
When we study the life of Jesus Christ, we see a man who consistently dignified women.

He spoke with women publicly.
He taught women.
He defended women.
He healed women.
He included women among His followers.

At a time when many societies treated women as secondary citizens, Jesus treated them as people worthy of attention, compassion, and truth.

An example is the woman caught in adultery:

“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
John 8:7

Notice something important: the woman was dragged publicly in shame, yet the man involved was absent. In that moment, Jesus confronted both hypocrisy and condemnation.

Submission has been misused

One of the most abused teachings in some church spaces is the concept of submission.

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
Ephesians 5:22

This verse has sometimes been weaponized to control women, silence them, or keep them in harmful situations. But biblical submission cannot be separated from the verses that follow:

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”
Ephesians 5:25

Christ-like leadership is sacrificial, gentle, protective, and loving, not abusive, manipulative, or oppressive.
A man cannot demand submission while refusing Christ-like love.

Women were never excluded from purpose.
Throughout Scripture, God used women powerfully:
- Deborah was a judge and leader (Judges 4–5).
- Esther helped save a nation.
- Priscilla taught alongside her husband (Acts 18:26).
- Phoebe was a servant and leader in the early church (Romans 16:1–2).

God has always used women.
The problem is not women having gifts, wisdom, intelligence, or leadership ability. The problem is when human systems become uncomfortable with women operating fully in those gifts.

The Church must be honest.
Not every church is misogynistic. Not every male leader is oppressive. There are many healthy churches and godly men who honor women deeply.

But the church must be honest enough to acknowledge where harm has happened.
Some women have left churches wounded, silenced, dismissed, or spiritually manipulated. Others stayed and suffered quietly because they were taught that questioning harmful behavior meant rebellion against God.

Accountability is not rebellion.
Wanting dignity is not pride.
Rejecting abuse is not lack of submission.

Can a woman be a Christian and also be a Feminist?

The conversation around Christianity and feminism has become one of the most debated topics in modern faith discussions. Some people believe the two can never coexist, while others strongly believe they can. But perhaps the real issue is not the word “feminist” itself, but what people mean when they use it.

If feminism means believing that women are human beings created in the image of God, deserving of dignity, respect, justice, safety, opportunity, and the freedom to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives, then there is biblical support for many of those values.

Women were created equal in value

The Bible begins by establishing the worth of both men and women:

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:27

This verse makes it clear that both men and women carry the image of God. Neither gender is spiritually inferior to the other. Before society assigned roles, culture created limitations, or sin distorted relationships, God established equal value.

Jesus treated women with dignity.
One of the strongest arguments for the dignity of women in Christianity is the life of Jesus Himself. In a culture where women were often silenced or overlooked, Jesus consistently honored them.

He spoke publicly with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), defended the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), allowed women to sit under His teaching like disciples (Luke 10:38–42), and women were among the first witnesses of His resurrection (Matthew 28:1–10).

Jesus never treated women as less valuable. He saw them, spoke to them, taught them, healed them, and entrusted them with responsibility.

The Bible also speaks about order and roles.
At the same time, Christianity does contain teachings about family structure, marriage, and leadership that many believers interpret differently.

For example:

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
Ephesians 5:22

And yet only a few verses later, Scripture also says:

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.”
Ephesians 5:25

Biblical submission was never designed to mean oppression, abuse, silencing, or control. The same passage commands sacrificial love from men. Christianity does not support the mistreatment of women.

This is where many disagreements happen. Some Christians believe men and women have different God-ordained roles while still being equal before God. Others believe leadership and roles should be fully equal in all areas of life and ministry.

Feminism has different expressions.
Another important thing to understand is that feminism is not one single belief system. Some forms of feminism focus on equality, justice, education, protection against abuse, and opportunities for women. Other forms may promote ideas some Christians feel conflict with biblical teachings.

Because of this, some Christian women proudly call themselves feminists, while others avoid the label entirely even though they support women’s rights and dignity.

A Christian woman can value herself without rejecting God.

A woman can believe:

Women deserve education.
Women should not endure abuse.
Women should be heard and respected.
Women can lead, build, create, and fulfill purpose.
Women are not lesser humans.

And still remain deeply committed to Christ.

The Proverbs 31 woman was not weak, voiceless, or incapable. She was wise, resourceful, hardworking, financially aware, respected, and spiritually grounded.

“She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.”
Proverbs 31:16

She was feminine and powerful at the same time.

Conclusion

Can a woman be both a Christian and a feminist?

Yes, depending on how feminism is defined and how Scripture is interpreted.

[Iyaloja of Fields 🙌🏽 @bisolabadejo]

There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.

Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.

You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.

Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.

There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.

And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:

“What exactly are they reacting to?”

Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.

The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.

And God said:

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)

Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.

Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.

Statements like:

“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”

do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.

Genesis 1 says:

“Male and female created he them.”

God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.

And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.

Order does not mean value.

Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.

In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.

So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?

You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.

News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.

To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!

And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.

The logic collapses immediately.

The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.

And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:

“Have we represented Christ properly?”

Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.

Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.
