Russian Patriarch denounces ‘dangerous feminism’
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | April 10, 2013 18:50The Russian Orthodox Patriarch has cautioned against the dangers of feminism, denouncing “propaganda” that encourages women to take roles beyond housekeeping and rearing children.
“I consider the phenomenon called feminism very dangerous,” said the powerful Patriarch Kirill in a speech delivered Tuesday and posted Wednesday on the official Russian Orthodox Church website.
“Feminist organisations proclaim a pseudo-freedom of women, which should be manifested outside marriage and family.”
But he argued: “The man should be focussed on matters outside (of the house), he must work and earn money, but the woman is always directed to the inside, towards her children and her home.”
“If that very important function of the woman is broken, then this is followed by the breaking of everything else: family, and in a larger sense, the motherland.”
