The Rights of Women

Part First:

The Original Estate of Man


The heart of Man, created to seek for a happiness that can only be sought through willing surrender of itself along the unitive path that ascends into the Heart of God, is a heart made for a happiness that exceeds the limits of the natural.

This excessive longing for happiness created a specific need in Man to bind his excessive desires in the freedoms of Man's original estate.

And the original estate that bound this boundless desire in Man is primarily found in the heart of Woman, formed by God from Man's own excesses to remind Man of what is necessary in himself, to guard his heart and to balance his soul, and be his faithful helper and patient companion in natural life.

It is important to note that this is all purposed before the fall of Man and is a reality distinct from the original state of grace that kept the requisite balance between the material and spiritual aspects that completed the human integrity of our First Parents.

Our original estate as a distinct reality from the original state of our First Parents are the relational requisites that exists primarily between Man and Woman and so consequentially exists also between all of the children of Mankind which were requisites intended by Almighty God to define in our humanity the necessary freedoms between ourselves that shall ultimately lead to absolute happiness in Him.

Where the original state is founded on the presence of God in the life of our First Parents, our original estate is founded primarily in the presence of Man in the life of Woman and so consequentially the presence of family instituted by God for the life of all of the children of Mankind.

The loss of our original inheritance from our First Parents left our humanity weakened and this weakness is the cause of the brokenness within all of our human families and consequently, all of our human communities as well as all of our social constructs e.g. organizations, businesses, unions, associations, cooperatives, etc.

The brokenness within all of our human communities - founded upon the human family - as well as all of our social constructs is a brokenness inherited from the weaknesses in our own shared humanity.

Now, human weakness is individually addressed by faith that leads each human being into the disciplined and proven ways of each and every honorable religion.

But human brokenness must be collectively addressed by the presence of those virtues that guide and empower each free and human act towards the preservation and advancement of the human good as well as the common good.

Both human weakness and human brokenness lead into each other but since we are here concerned with the Rights of Woman, we shall concern ourselves primarily with the latter which is human brokenness and our original estate.

We shall trust that the latter which is human weakness and the original state of our First Parents have already been given to much prior religious thought and spiritual effort inasmuch as the necessary fruits being those good and praiseworthy works which are the direct results of the effective exercise of virtue and the art of its grace are enabled to be produced as commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ of all Christians and by our LORD God of all our nations most especially all of our Abrahamic kindred in faith and promise.

The Common Story of Woman

When we shall speak of the Rights of Women, we must always be mindful of our original estate as human beings. Simply put, our original estate is our original belongings to each other.

As regards to Woman, her heart belongs to Man. Upon Woman, the Almighty God has intended a natural vulnerability which is not intended in any way as a weakness but as an affinity that inspire in her a longing for Man as her protector.

This protection is more than just physical protection, it is also the labors that protect from deprivation of dignity and need as well as the preservation of life, the human good and the advancement of the common good.

What Woman in her vulnerability must naturally seek in Man must be more than just a temporal shelter of strong and able hands but also, the eternal embrace of a steadfast and worthy heart.

After the fall of our First Parents, let us be mindful that this natural vulnerability in Woman was thereafter multiplied a hundredfold by decree of the Almighty God that Woman shall endure the pains of child birth.

This pain is more than just the pain of birth, it is also the enduring of the sorrows and the labors of motherhood in all its stages in exile time. However, the divine intentions behind all of this remain the same which is to strengthen the original estate of Man which is the heart of Man surrendered in God to the heart of a Woman faithful in God to the heart of Man - this is the irresistible dynamic of the complimentary natures of the gender opposites and is the inescapable force that drive the union between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN into one life and one longing, sanctioned by God through wedlock vows and commanded by decree of Divine Providence to eventually lead to its natural consummation which is the sacred transmission of life in the bearing and the rearing of children within the institution of the human family. This is one of the greatest of all authentic human freedoms - the freedom between Man and Woman to choose to receive the gift of each other.

Caught between Man's desire for happiness and the weakness in our humanity is Woman's pain and her longing for the protection of Man and so it has always been the plight of Woman to bear the brunt of the brokenness that is the most common result of the numerous ways that effect in the person of Man, all those erroneous and excessive forms surrender that have sought to establish upon earth, the one Patrimony of our LORD God not as a way of freedom, as in our original estate, but as a means to deprive it first from Woman and then from all of the children of Mankind.

The Paternal Providence of our LORD God is not established by right of gender. For what is corporal gender to our LORD but a means towards our own corporal good? It matters not to God save for the one purpose upon which our LORD conceived of both male and female which is the transmission of human life.

The Paternal Providence of our LORD God is an eternal Office established to provide for all of creation, seen and unseen. It is founded by divine and sovereign right upon the singular mandate of our LORD God to the supreme exercise of a necessary authority of governance over all of creation, seen and unseen, and manifest through the creative ideal of the will of Almighty God invested in the supernatural Office of Divine Providence.

Therefore, if Man desires to provide for Woman through faith in Divine Providence, then Man must provide for Woman not because he is Man but because Woman is Woman and let this natural desire bind their hearts intimately together in the freedom of our original estate as it was originally intended by the Almighty God, the one common Creator of all creation.

For Divine Providence is not by any means an Office of earth which may be freely and humanly aspired to as a form of happiness by any Man in competent command of his own self for the happiness of Man shall, for as long as there is evil in our days, always lead him through Woman for only through Woman may Man be enabled to freely attain to God.

This is the common story of Woman's struggle for her Rights and is one that, were we Men wise enough even for our own sakes, must now be uncommonly attentive to for it is only upon the attainment of the correct form of understanding, drawn from all the many pains endured by Woman, past, present and in every present, that we shall regain the original intentions that were purposed by our LORD God in the establishment of our original estate and restore Man and Woman to the freedom of their original belongings to each other and the derivative forms of the human good as well as the common good that rely completely upon the preservation of this divine balance.

so let me get this straight: women have the "right" to be vulnerable and weak? :P

no brian, women have the right to be loved by men.

"Therefore, if Man desires to provide for Woman through faith in Divine Providence, then Man must provide for Woman not because he is Man but because Woman is Woman and let this natural desire bind their hearts intimately together in the freedom of our original estate as it was originally intended by the Almighty God, the one common Creator of all creation."
