A Catholic Feminism?

With his usual clear, down-to-earth common sense, David Carlin distinguishes five types of feminism (https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2017/06/30/five-kinds-of-feminism/): egalitarian which demands equal rights, opportunities, pay (accepted by over 99% of us); career-first which places primacy there and marginalizes marriage and family as secondary options; sexual liberation which rejects traditional chastity and champions abortion; anti-male feminism which sees oppressive patriarchy everywhere; and religious feminism which develops an entire belief system ("God as She") and way of life. Strangely, he fails to mention the approach, implicit in much emerging psychology and developed by Edith Stein, John Paul II and others, which contemplates and champions the distinctive genius of femininity. This approach sees that women, naturally ("nature" related to nativity and natality is not a favored idea of mainstream feminism), are greatly endowed with emotional intelligence, spiritual docility, psychological integrity, empathy, intuition, multi-tasking capability, synthetic thinking, psychological resilience, relational strength, longevity, and nurturing skills. Men, again by nature, are inferior in all these areas but have compensating strengths: upper body strength and body mass, engineering and math skills, single-minded focus, abstract thinking related to a certain disconnect (not entirely admirable) between thought and feeling. Women are more vulnerable to anxiety and hysteria; men more prone to anger, violence, discouragement and lust. Our post-Protestant society rewards qualities more common to men: ambition, aggression, and indifference to the suffering of others. A healthy society will cherish and cultivate what is best in each sex. A wise culture recognizes there is an actual interior form, a gestalt,  soul of femininity and masculinity that is not reducible to physical or psychological stereotype. Because the feminine is superior in certain important arenas, such as the family, a compensating deference is needed by the male for him to contribute his gifts: for example, since the mother is usually closer to the children, she needs to pay obvious respect to father to empower him to protect and guide the children. Absent such support from Mom, Dad remains distant and impotent even if that is not his desire. And so, the woman because of her sublime gifts and mission has rights denied to the man: she has a right to be supported when she gives birth and cares for children, she has a right to reverence because she embodies all that is good/true/beautiful, she has a right to protection and privilege because of her sublime combination of fragility and resilient strength. The woman is God's last and greatest creation, his masterpiece of generosisity, goodness and beauty. THAT is a genuine feminism!
