Yes.
Because one-word answers aren't allowed here, I'll expand a bit. The Quiverfull movement reduces women and children to the status of property and men to the status of demigods. This allows men to justify subjugating, abusing, and raping women and children, who are seen as their property.
It's disgusting on every level.

I am not really sure about the Quiverfull movement, but I am definitely not a fan of the Duggars belief system.
They spend so much time keeping careful watch over what their children can and can't do, that it actually becomes the world against them. Jesus didn't stick with the religious, He hung out with the outcasts, the sick, and the lame. He didn't teach His disciples to hide in the world, but to minister to it!
One thing is for certain, it isn't Christians against the world, it is Christians impacting the world....

I don’t know much about the Quiverfull movement either, but the Duggar’s do not identify with that movement. Also, I am not a fan of the Duggar’s – nor am I a critic of theirs. I’m ambivalent. I never watched their show or followed their life, so I don’t really know much about them. But I would suggest this comment;

is obviously opinion based and I have a feeling those who are Quiverfulls would not see their movement in that way. Similar misleading comments have been made about the Catholic Church, which I am a member. The Church has been accused of being patriarchal, misogynistic, and oppressive. There are good and bad people in all sorts of organizations that may or may not have anything to do with what the organization stands for. I guess my point is, I don’t see the Catholic Church as misogynistic even though women cannot be priests. One does not equal the other. If you do not get that – then you don’t get it and nothing I can say will probably have much effect on your pre conceived notions.The Quiverfull movement reduces women and children to the status of property and men to the status of demigods.

Post #5If you can't see why an organisation that excludes women from it's hierarchy of power, for no other reason than their sex, however talented and however suited to the vocation they might be, might accurately be considered by said women as patriarchal, misogynistic and oppressive, then I suggest you just drop your own preconceptions, get your dictionary out, and apply some empathy to the definitions you will find therein.RightReason wrote: The Church has been accused of being patriarchal, misogynistic, and oppressive...

Hmmmmm . . . Can a sister ever be a brother? Can a grandmother be an uncle? We have different roles. Brothers are not more important than sisters. Aunts are not better than uncles. Priests are not better than lay people. Do you think they are? So, as a woman why would I think someone telling me I cannot be a grandfather someday feel oppressive? Misogynist? Like I said, if you don’t get that, then there isn’t much to say. You will always see something like the Church as oppressive because in my opinion your worldview shapes your opinion and in my opinion prevents understanding.If you can't see why an organisation that excludes women from it's hierarchy of power, for no other reason than their sex, however talented and however suited to the vocation they might be, might accurately be considered by said women as patriarchal, misogynistic and oppressive, then I suggest you just drop your own preconceptions, get your dictionary out, and apply some empathy to the definitions you will find therein.

Re: Duggar family values??
Post #7It's quite amazing that you automatically associate priesthood with gender specific nouns like "brother," why would you do that? Swap those nouns out for non-gender specific profession and see how that sounds:RightReason wrote: Hmmmmm . . . Can a sister ever be a brother? Can a grandmother be an uncle? We have different roles.

Can a woman ever be a doctor? Can a woman be an bus diver? We have different roles. Men are not more important than women. Women are not better than men. Doctors are not better than lay people. Do you think they are? So, as a woman why would I think someone telling me I cannot be a scientist someday feel oppressive? Misogynist? Frankly, because that's exactly how it sounds.

What is amazing is when people automatically equate something with being “sexist� because it doesn’t fit their understanding. 2ndRateMind used words like skill and talent and power to describe the priesthood. To me that shows very little understanding regarding the priesthood. The priesthood isn’t about power. Also, a calling to the priesthood is not based on some skill set. So, claiming women are just as skilled makes no sense, like your attempt at comparing being a priest to being a scientist. You fail to understand Church teaching or the Church’s reasons for her teachings. You apply your worldview to fit quite frankly something that many of us view as other worldly.
Because Jesus was male. A priest is supposed to be acting in persona christe. In order to be ‘in the personhood of Christ’ one would need to share Christ’s personhood – which is male.It's quite amazing that you automatically associate priesthood with gender specific nouns like "brother," why would you do that?

I don't know anyone personally in that movement (that I'm aware of let's say) but I don't think the name or association of any movement makes it more or less likely to have issues within it.
In other words, SURE, there are probably a lot of this and other issues within this movement. But are there more of these issues in it simply because of what it is?
No idea
It does strike me as a sick group without social conscious though if that counts for anything

Post #10As opposed to "because Jesus was a human. A priest is supposed to be acting in persona christe. In order to be ‘in the personhood of Christ’ one would need to share Christ’s personhood – which is a human of either gender?" That same reasoning can be tweaked to be inclusive, you prefer your version simply because that's what the Bible taught.RightReason wrote: Because Jesus was male.

All I am hearing is, Church teaching is sexist and we are fine with it because sexism isn't inherently wrong, it's fine to be sexist in this case.What is amazing is when people automatically equate something with being “sexist� because it doesn’t fit their understanding. 2ndRateMind used words like skill and talent and power to describe the priesthood.
