I have very strong feelings on certain subjects ie feminism mainly (and aren't most issues having to do with women derived from this?) that are or will be included on my website, of which may sound as if they are related to certain denominations or organized religions. But don't label me as a "such and such" religious fanatic because I am not affiliated with any of these. I dare say none of the opinions I have truly come from any teaching I have ever heard.
Believe it or not most people just go with whatever resonates with their own experiences (my ex-husband was a scumbag so I hate all men too), or the newest fad (If that actress dresses that way there's nothing wrong with me and/or my daughter doing it, or all the magazines are showing these new low cut blouses so I need one too) or some weird way of thinking (I can do that job better than any man) just because it makes them feel self-empowered. And some of the agendas that are behind these ways of thinking are designed to do just that (self-empowerment) and sometimes we need this feeling, but in the context of the overall message we are hearing, it is far from what the bible has to say on the subjects of love and humility.
I try to look at both sides of an issue, and probably would be judged if my true feelings were told, but I try to be honest and realize we've all been on both sides of most of these issues, but at the same time I try to be discerning and know what is right.
There's nothing wrong about feeling good about oneself, but to trample another person while uplifting ourselves or our own gender (or agenda) is not right. If equality and freedom are what women are after why can't men have an opinion that differs from theirs? I suppose we want to be leaders and not followers, we want the tables to turn and give men their whats, whys, and wherefores. Who in actuality benefits from this way of thinking?
Always research what the bible has to say (if you are a believer) before jumping into the barrel with everyone else. And try to see both sides. And I know I can sound contradictive at times, but give me a chance and I will try to clarify my stance on these subjects.
