I am advocating for Traditional Women’s Rights or patriarchy, unconditional Chivalry by men on behalf of women, and belief in and obedience to a Superior Power. I can be found at the Why I Am Not A Feminist site. I am no longer affiliated with the TWRAs.

Men are the natural leaders of society; they are the natural leaders in marriage, in family life, in religious settings, in work settings, and at all levels of government. Leadership and authority is a fundamental part of the masculine role; it is a fundamental attribute of the man. Masculine leadership’s purpose is to serve the country, to serve the company, to serve the congregation, to serve the man’s wife, to serve women in general as a class, to serve the man’s children, and ultimately to serve God. In short masculine leadership is meant to serve those the man has authority over in accordance with the will of that which has authority over him, that ultimate authority being God.

Masculine leadership is effective in all spheres of life but of particular importance is the sphere of the man’s relationship to woman. Man’s relationship to woman is governed by the ethic of Chivalry; Chivalry is all male behaviors directed towards women meant to provide for and protect women that are based on the man reacting to the woman as a woman. This Chivalrous duty is imposed upon men by God; as such it is a duty owed to all women simply on the basis of the nature of the masculine gender role. There are three general categories of Chivalry; romantic Chivalry which is primary in marriage or in courtship behaviors, community Chivalry which is the man’s relationship to women he is part of the same community with, and public policy Chivalry where a law has a Chivalrous intent. All of these categories of Chivalry are necessary for a society to function well and all represent duties that men owe to women.

Chivalry must always be under the man’s control. This is a basic principle because it is the man who bears the cost of Chivalry and the woman who gains the benefit of Chivalry. As such the man must be the one who decides what his Chivalrous duty entails so that the person who bears the cost of Chivalry is also the one whose purpose or mission is achieved through Chivalry. There needs to be an alignment between bearing the cost of Chivalry and accomplishing the goal of Chivalry so that the provider of the Chivalrous benefit receives the reward they are entitled to for their effort and their noble intent. When Chivalry is under male control, this alignment of reward and effort is in place, leading to a stable flow of resources from men to women. When control of Chivalry is hijacked by women, the Chivalrous effort by the man only leads to the man’s exploitation and victimization. Under such conditions the man’s commitment to Chivalry weakens and the flow of resources from men to women declines. It is this reduction in the flow of resources from men to women which then leads to societal and familial breakdown.

The man is always in a position of authority in relation to women; this is due to the very nature of being a man. The man is always to treat women with a generous and protective spirit since again this is a fundamental part of the man’s relation to woman. In a marriage this means that the man is always the head of his household; he is always the head of his wife. The question is not, is the man the head? He is the head! The question is only how is he leading; is he a competent and responsible and involved head or is he an irresponsible and detached and lazy head. The man’s status within his marriage is fixed; the only question is to what extent he is living up to the duties of his masculine role. The man is responsible for the well being of his family; he is responsible for the well being of his wife and the well being of his children because he has authority over his wife and authority over his children. If the man’s wife or the man’s children are not prospering, it is the man’s responsibility to address the problem and seek to resolve it. Masculinity is taking responsibility; the man asserts authority and then uses his authority to provide for those he has authority over.

The husband has a covenantal relationship to his wife, not a contractual relationship. The marriage relationship is covenantal, not contractual. The husband is the covenantal head of the marriage; he has the leadership duty for the marital unit to be exercised through unconditional commitment to his wife and his children. As Mark Driscoll puts it, “Covenantal thinking says God wants me to become what you need, God wants me to love you as you need, God wants me to serve you as you need, God wants me to invest in you as you need.”

This is the man’s role in society, the man’s duty to women, and the nature of the husband’s role within marriage. All of these roles and duties are fixed; they are derivative of God’s design and they are immutable. They are constant and unchanging regardless of culture or law. They are the inherited status and nature of the man.
