The creepy ghost from KAIRO (2001).

(It’s a video, in case it doesn’t auto-play. I came across this one on Spikima Movies on YouTube—a very interesting horror-themed channel worth checking out.)

Biblical Womanhood =/= Trad Wife Bullshit

Young Christian girls, remember that the Proverbs 31 woman is a business owner. She makes and sells clothes. She bought a farm with her own money. She's intelligent enough to do her business WELL. The average working mother is much closer to the Proverbs 31 woman than these wealthy trad wife influencers.

Biblical womanhood is not about being docile or worshipping men. It's not about this creepy obsession with submission. It's about being intelligent, doing whatever needs to be done for yourself and your family. Following God's will. Deborah led an army. Judith murdered a King to save her people. Esther is the one who must intervene to save her people.

And to see Catholic women parroting this bullshit? When even our own Saints weren't these cutesy little trad life girls. God told St. Hidegard Von Bingin to preach. Imagine if St. Joan of Arc responded to God's call with "Bu-But I'm just a cute coqeutte girl 🎀". St. Teresa of Avila reformed and created the Discalced Carmelites. Even St. Maria Goretti, a child, fought to the death to protect her dignity and autonomy. It was women who spread the word of Jesus, who spread the word of His resurrection.

Jesus was born of a woman, Mary and God. No human male was involved in His birth. Never forget the importance of that. Christ protected women who committed mortal sins. He told men to gauge out their eyes if they can't respect a woman's dignity. He showed himself to a woman first. The late Pope Francis himself called St. Mary Magdelene the Apostle to the Apostles.

Never allow anyone to weaponize your faith against you. God does not view you as a helpmate. God has nothing but respect and reverence for women's power. Never ever ever let someone tell you that biblical womanhood is about being weak and dependent or being the most "pure" or the most feminine. Biblical womanhood is about strength, nobility, and love for God at the core of every action.
