I'm a feminist AMA

Thanks for posting again
Gosh, I'll be honest I'm really surprised by your answer. May I ask why you think women shouldn't have leadership roles?
How does the feminist view differ to yours? Well I believe that men and women are equal in all ways and that includes in leadership roles.
Different people have different ideas about what masculinity and femininity are, when I say we should celebrate both genders, I think we should celebrate what each individual looks within for their own definition of gender, and celebrate the parts that makes their gender different and special. I support both international men's day and international women's day.

Here goes:

1. Do you think women are systematically oppressed?
2. Should abortion be illegal?
3. What do you think of the gender pay gap?
4. Do you hate men?
5. If you had to choose, would you be born a male or female?
6. Should transgender women be allowed into cis-gendered female spaces.
7. Do you believe in quotas for women in executive position?
8. Should men have joint custodies of their children after divorce?
9. Do you think women who falsely accuse men of rape or sexual assault should be prosecuted?
10. Marmite, love it or hate it?

I have that view since Bible is my final authority, and that Bible teaches that men and women are equal in value, but have different roles in society, men go to work, provide for the family and are the head of their homes, women stay had home with the children, caring for them and the house wives should submit to their husbands in all things (unless it's sin of course) and husband's should love their wives the Bible also teaches that women should not "usurp the authority of the man", that's why I don't think women should be in leadership roles having authority over men. I don't think women should be politicians since when the Bible talks of women ruling over a nation/people, it wasn't in a positive light, because women were in power, the people went astray. so I'll trying sum it up in terms of who has most authority, God, then Man, then Woman, then Child.

thanks for answering my questions, really appreciate it.

ah I have another question, are there any laws that you think should be changed in light of feminism? such as back in the day, feminists fought to change the law that women couldn't vote. any laws you'd like to change?

Here goes:


10. Marmite, love it or hate it?

TO REITERATE- NO FEMINIST WILL EVER CALL YOU SEXIST OR AGAINST WOMENS RIGHTS IF YOU DONT WANT TO CALL YOURSELF A FEMINIST. ITS ONLY FAR-RIGHT YOUTUBERS WHO CLAIM THAT FEMINISTS JUDGE OTHERS FOR NOT WANTING TO USE THE TERM FEMINISTS TO PUSH THE VIEW THAT FEMINISTS ARE JUDGY AND *****Y.

Okay, I would hope most people would realise that most women are "normal", but the word 'feminist' has connotations of going too far because it's done the job it's needed to; women have equal rights, the gender pay gap is almost entirely a myth, etc. Feminism in the west now has nothing left to achieve, so now "feminists" are people advocating gender quotas in government roles (a terrible idea), denying innate biological and psychological causes of employment role and pay differences, denying any possible legitimacy of typical gender roles, dismissing all pro-lifers as tyrannical woman-controllers, etc.

Do you believe that men and women should receive the same sentence- if they have both been convicted of the same violent criminal offence involving a weapon or hate crime where the victim is a stranger to them?

But some feminists online do call people sexist/anti-women for not identifying as feminists...

Hey, interesting view point and I respect your dedication to your religion. I'm also a Christian, but there are some rules I don't follow. For example, the ban on eating shellfish and wearing mixed-fibre fabrics in Leviticus. There are parts of the bible which condone slavery and rape, which obviously I don't support. I'm no knowledgeable theologian, however I think that there are some parts of the bible we shouldn't follow ie slavery, rape etc. I think the overall message of the bible is more important. Jesus himself said 'the sabbath is for man not man for the sabbath' which shows us that the Laws of the bible are designed to help us be as loving and kind to one another as possible, and if they don't serve that purpose we shouldn't follow them. The bible is contradictory, and jesus himself broke the laws and the advice of the bible to do the thing that was most loving. For example in the sermon on the mount he contradicted the old testament and said that we shouldn't take an eye for an eye but rather turn the other cheek. he always put love first, even before the advice and laws of the bible.
The overall message of the bible, the golden rule is one of love. I don't believe it's loving to prevent women from becoming leaders. Women are just as intelligent and it's cruel and a disservice to humanity to potentially turn away the next great leader because of her gender. it's unloving and unchristian, but that's just my viewpoint.

awesome. dietary laws were done away with in the new testament, for example, God brought 'unclean' food for Peter to eat and he protested say it was uncommon, but God said to not call that he has cleansed uncommon Paul also wrote that every creature of God is good to be received with thanksgiving
there's no such law banning mixed fabrics, many have mistakenly believed this because all the corrupt modern versions say so, when in reality, in the KJV, it simply says not to wear clothes woven with linen and wool specifically. and I'm not aware of any clothing that has linen and wool sown together.
the Bible also doesn't condone rape, there's a death penalty for rapists.
everything in the Bible is equally important since it was all written by God, even the 'boring' chapters of genologies and specific instructions on what the priests should wear and how to build the tabernacle.
true, it's a great guide, did you know the law was also to bring us to Christ? see, the law condemns us, making us realise we're deserving and damned to hell, so we look to Christ to save us, by simply believing on him alone. I find that quite interesting, thought I'd tell you if you didn't already know.
ah, the Bible has no contradiction, God wrote it he can't contradict himself, maybe these modern versions, yes many contradictions, that's why you stick with the King James Version.
Jesus can't break the laws, he is God, God cannot sin, if he sinned, then he can't save us.
Jesus did not contradict, the old testament taught love too, old and new testament compliment one another, not contradict
it can't be unchristian if that's what God wanted.

but anyway, if you want to continue this cool discussion, just pm me, don't want to go off topic in your thread.😊

back to my other question, any laws you think should be changed?🙂

Who pays on a first date?

Do you have pink, blue or green hair?

Hi!
I think like 0.1% of feminists are 'feminazis' as you call them. I think men are awesome and most feminists like myself think we should celebrate both masculinity and femininity!
So I'm female (although men can be feminists too!)
I wanted to be a feminist because my friend went through an abusive relationship and she wasn't taken seriously by the police. Another reason is that one of my best guy friends struggles with mental health but because of the horrible stereotypes surrounding what it means to be a man, he was too afraid to get help.
Both those situations illustrated to me the problems surrounding gender, the different ways in which men and women suffer, and it made me want to be a part of a movement which fights for both men and women.
When did I learn about feminism? When I was 11 years old I read a book about feminism. At first I was afraid to openly call myself a feminist because of the stereotypes, but then I realised I cared more about taking a stand than a couple uneducated boys who called me names.
Thanks for taking part, message me if you have more questions or if you'd like some clarification

I would say that I am a feminist too and i believe that women can do the same jobs as men, however I don't believe that they are the same physically. Men biologically have bigger lungs and hearts, so therefore can run faster, lift more, etc.
So part of me disagree that men and women are completely equal in every way. What do you think?
