Spend your time fighting for rights that have been destroyed much much more like out freedom of speech. Fight against the Patriot Act. Fight to legalize cannabis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13623730.post-77097905042839473742007-08-22T01:35:00.000-05:002007-08-22T01:35:00.000-05:00I hate the fact that some people can't accept or understand a Christian woman who is also a Feminist. I am one of these women and I am proud of it. Just because I believe in God doesn't mean I believe in oppression of women or that God assigned a second class role to women--as someone just said. Just because St. Paul was afraid of women (my opinion lol) doesn't mean that his opinions reflect God's opinions. Jesus NEVER assigned a second-class role to women. And so I am proud to be a Christian Feminist and I hope there are many more like me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13623730.post-1118747561080068292005-06-14T06:12:00.000-05:002005-06-14T06:12:00.000-05:00Etherealfire (love that name!),<BR/><BR/>I'm so excited that you have joined up!

I recently read "Reading Lolita in Tehran," and have a whole new appreciation for the Muslim woman. The women in Iran were forced to wear their coverings against their will decades ago and they continue to fight this oppression even today. <BR/><BR/>Welcome to Feminism Online. It's great to have you on board.<BR/><BR/>StellarStellarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17845405826107481259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13623730.post-1118687288669804012005-06-13T13:28:00.000-05:002005-06-13T13:28:00.000-05:00I would be delighted to contribute to this blog. <BR/><BR/>We have voices and it is so vital that we use them when so many other women around the world are still forced into silence.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09950192359815351462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13623730.post-1118682093054014152005-06-13T12:01:00.000-05:002005-06-13T12:01:00.000-05:00Mickey,<BR/><BR/>I'm so excited that you decided to participate. I've extended invites to several other ladies as well. As time goes on, I'm sure we'll encounter more women who would make fantastic partcipants too.<BR/><BR/>Jump in any time to post comments, essays, articles, etc. It's women like us who can counter act the centuries of deceit and oppression. <BR/><BR/>To women!
