Christian Patriarchy

Christian patriarchy is a belief system within some Christian communities that advocates for male leadership and authority in family, church, and society, based on interpretations of biblical texts. Proponents argue that men are designated as spiritual and familial heads, while women are generally expected to fulfill supportive or subordinate roles. Critics view it as limiting gender equality and promoting gender-based hierarchies. The movement emphasizes adherence to traditional gender roles rooted in specific biblical interpretations, often stressing the importance of male dominance in decision-making and family structure, while advocating for a societal order aligned with their faith-based understanding.
