Joseph and his wife Kendra Duggar are the latest Duggar couple to tie the knot. The pair were engaged in May and got married a few months later. There is already speculation about Kendra being pregnant, and if she was, let's be honest, it wouldn’t be a surprise. After all, those Duggar couples get pregnant really quick after marriage, just look at Joy-Anna and her husband Austin Forsyth who got pregnant so quickly after marriage that it started rumors of the pair of them having a shotgun wedding. In case you aren’t familiar with the term, a shotgun wedding is when a couple gets married for the sole reason that they got pregnant before marriage.
Nonetheless, with Kendra being one of the newest members of the family there is a lot of speculation online about her and if she is a feminist. You can continue to read below to find out if Kendra is really a feminist.
What are Kendra Duggar's views on feminism?
Well, after doing some research online I believe that Kendra Duggar is not a feminist at all. The main reason why I think this is the case is because the Duggar family are apparently known to follow some practices of the Quiverfull Movement. However, Jim-Bob and Michelle do not like to be associated with that movement, as they said the following in their book "A Love That Multiplies": “Even though Wikipedia and some Internet blogs report that we are part of a Quiverfull movement, we are not.” The Quiverfull movement is a sect of evangelical Christianity where there are many patriarchal values.
For example, a woman is not allowed to use any form of birth control and apparently she is also not allowed to work outside of the house. Also, through a marriage ceremony in this religion the father passes the power he has over his daughter to the groom, so he will have power over her.
What is Kendra Duggar up to now?
This Duggar couple has been in the news recently because, as I mentioned above, there are rumors of the pair already expecting a baby.
The reason this rumor started in the first place is because, in a family picture, Kendra’s mother was in front of her, hiding her stomach, so the viewers of the photo thought that the mother was trying to hide Kendra’s baby bump.
You can catch up with the Duggar family on the TLC network, and you can also follow them on their social media accounts.
It is also worth mentioning that the new season of “Counting On” will have some changes, as Jill’s husband Derick Dillard will no longer appear on the show following transphobic remarks he made toward Jazz Jennings.
