Enough to take the Word Away from the Radicals?

I don't think so. What is needed? Resolution of an intellectual problem with logic? Or countering pride? One can only emphasize equality of dignity before grappling with sex differences and differences in functions and roles. It won't be that difficult to convince "secular" feminists that women are equal in dignity to men (though some may actually believe that women are greater in dignity); but women nonetheless having different roles within the family and community? That sort of inequality is precisely what is in contention. (And the religious basis for dignity will probably be irrelevant to the secular feminists, many of whom are atheists and/or hostile to religions deemed patriarchal.)

Zenit: Mariology Conference Participant Sheds Light on Christian Feminism, Respect for Human Dignity

Why does Zenit choose to avoid pressing the question of women having careers?

Dodd: It's a spiritual virginity and motherhood, as John Paul II had certainly brought out in his different teachings. For one thing, a woman who stays at home – whether she is a wife, or a wife and a mother, can see her equality of dignity, her importance of communicating her thoughts and ideas, first of all to her husband, and then secondly as a teacher for her children – whether she's formally home schooling them or not, because parents are always primary teachers of their children. There is a sense of her equal dignity, and her right, and her privilege to speak her mind and totally give herself to her husband, to her children, and to require and teach them to respect her if they don't.

In this answer it is only implied that men have the ultimate authority within the family. Would it be that controversial to say it flat out?
