Let me make myself clear. I do not define myself as a feminist. But feminism is really anything to do with equal rights for women, which most here are for. What we, as Christians, are opposed to, is abortion, female heads of house, lesbianism and the like. If that is feminism, then we are all opposed to it. But again, it's all in the definition of feminism. In the church the word feminism is usually said with a sneer, so the word itself is thought of negatively. But remember, the first feminists were Christian women, trying to get the vote for women. And isn't it Christianity that really gives women equal rights, rather than that Christianity hates women? Jesus was very egalitarian.
