By now I’m almost certain you’ve had exposure to the Women’s March that took place on January 21, 2017 in Washington, DC. Being fair and objective, it was definitely an impressive display from a numbers perspective for the amount of women who mobilized. For all of the flaws of the protest, which I will dive into in a moment, at least it was reported as mostly peaceful and nonviolent unlike the protests during the inauguration. This is America and under our Constitution a free people have a right to protest as long as it’s a lawful assembly.

As a dad who has raised a daughter and grandfather to an amazing granddaughter, this protest doesn’t define the authentic qualities of womanhood. Yes, those who organized and attended felt a deep sense of mission, but here are some of the flaws of this event I wanted to highlight:

Many participants were seen wearing pink knitted beanies with cat ears, called “pussy hats,” as a symbol of solidarity among protestors. Yeah, I get that they represent a protest to Trump’s remarks about grabbing a woman’s private parts (which I don’t condone)…but where was the outcry when the likes of Bill Clinton actually did it? Degradation and objectification of women doesn’t change because the perpetrator has different political viewpoints.

Then you have headliner celebrities who have made millions living in this great country…fly in on their private jets and wine/dine at five star hotels. Two in particular who stood out were Madonna (who made her career objectifying women) and Ashley Judd.

Their narratives included….

A profanity laced speech with f-bombs and making a reference to blowing up the White House.

Reciting a poem written by a 19-year-old Nina Donovan from Tennessee; which included references to Trump’s election, mass incarceration, LGBT rights, the wage gap, and other issues. The poem compares Trump to Adolf Hitler and goes on to make sex jabs at Trump and his daughter Ivanka. Ashley Judd sounded more like a cult leader with her “hell yeah” crowd chant at the end of her biatribe.

I can’t rationalize why any woman would give audience to or identify with the vitriol from celebrities like Madonna, who offered to perform oral sex on anyone who voted for former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and Ashley Judd. I also having a tough time rationalizing why hundreds of thousands of women carried colorful signs alluding to reproductive rights. Here is a sampling: “My body my choice.” “Our pussies are not up for grabs, neither are our rights!” “My little pussy, not yours!” “You wouldn’t try to regulate my vagina if it fired bullets!,” and “If abortions are murder than blowjobs are cannibalism!”

To expose the lack of ‘clarity of focus’ absent from the march, check out this Street Justice segment with Judge Jeanine Pirro as she interviews women who were participating.

I could go on and on, but wow…just wow!

Having a fiancée, a daughter and a granddaughter…of course I support women’s rights. The women who participated in this march went way beyond equal pay, voting rights and equal opportunity with men…they turned it up to 11.

I would like to know what rights they think they don’t have living here in the freedom of America? I would also like to understand why they didn’t focus their outrage towards countries where women are persecuted, oppressed and raped routinely without impunity. Please ladies, exactly what rights are you being denied?

From what I’ve read, heard and seen…the real women were absent from this march. It looked more like a bunch of angry females spewing female empowerment. Real women are wonderful and understand that men are not the enemy. Everything an authentic man does is to cherish and support women everyday as husbands, fireman, policeman, soldiers, construction workers, fill in the blank _________. Examples of real female empowerment are defending the life of the unborn or learning how to use a firearm to protect herself. Real women understand the feminist movement of the late 20th century is a fraud. It’s an anti-family agenda, socially engineered to get women out of the home and into the workforce so the state could raise our children. These feminist movements came onto the scene and women lost interest in child bearing and mothering…preferring to pursue power and influence. Phyllis Schlafly nails it…feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.

One last interesting piece of information to consider before you rubber stamp this event…Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers for Washington DC Women’s March, was recently spotted at a large Muslim convention in Chicago posing for pictures with an accused financier for Hamas, the terrorist group. Oh, the sad irony!

People may write this off because I am a man speaking into this event, so don’t take it from me…read this open letter (which is going viral) from Brandi Goings Atkinson that she wrote on her Facebook page.

Carly Hoilman from the Conservative Review share this, “Needless to say, I’m happy the march is over. I’ve never felt so keenly aware of how broken our culture is — with hundreds of thousands of militant women around the world boldly asserting their right to kill unborn children, threatening any man or women who dares to stand in their way. How confidently did they assume that no reasonable person would object to their noble cause. How wrong they were.”

During the last few decades our culture has redefined the meaning and responsibilities of men and women in society and in the home. Masculinity and femininity, as intended from God’s original design, have been put on the endangered list. Let’s rise up and stand for God’s good and original design as Jesus makes clear in Mark 10:6, “But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.” Our lives are part of God’s creative act, not some self-willed postmodern cultural labels of society.

Ladies, don’t buy into this “man hating” narrative and don’t accept the counterfeit. Authentic manhood is not a call to be macho or a lunk head. It’s a call for men to be strengthened in their inner core, in their souls, in their character, in their integrity and in their fidelity to the truth of the Living God. Authentic men will step up in the home and lead with Godly leadership, they will love their wives sacrificially, they will pursue their wives and serve them with intentionality.

The real women I know appreciate the courage of their man, who will lay his life down to protect her. They know their man loves their children and wants to provide for and protect them. They know their man wants to be a dad: a son’s greatest hero and a daughter’s first love…calling her “princesses” without being patriarchal. They know their man likes to take risks because he likes to push his limits and test his strength. They know their man likes to be challenged in his career and in his personal pursuits, without losing sight of what important…his family. They know their man works every day to better himself to be a better man than he was yesterday.

Oh and men, listen up! To be a leader, a lover, and a servant is to accommodate your life to the life of the gift God has given you — your wife. Give up your life for hers and when you stand before God, He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
