Christian View of Femininity

The Christian idea of femininity is clearly laid out for us in Genesis.
God saw that is was not good for man to be alone and he knew he would need another creature like himself to fill the gap that all the other animals had and satisfy his need for a companion. So God created women flesh of his own flesh to rescue Adam so that he would have completion. God created the order that a man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and shall create one family. The man Names his wife Eve- because she is the mother of all man and she is the example of femininity for all women. Women are to be the home makers and live for relationship. We are to strive to have happiness in relationships even though (because of the fall) we will never have complete happiness.
Feminists get it wrong because they try to flip the roles of men and women. The saying "boys will be boys" has no meaning to them. They put women in the same boat as men, saying that women can do everything everything men can do at the same level. In some cases this may be true but not in all.
God created men and women for different purposes and we are wired differently. When we embrace the unique was were were created then we can live the way God has intended for us.
