RE: Dropping F-Bombs: I've Become a *gasp* Feminist!

in #feminism8 years ago

Very well put. It can be lonely in the liberty community as a feminist. I've been told I am NOT a feminist because I don't believe in government intervention to force preferential treatment for women on society. Not by radical feminists who espouse such action, but by men in the liberty community. Thanks for putting yourself out there.

Very true. It can be isolating. I wrote an article many months ago about the trials of being a Christian, a feminist and an anarchist.

I'm going to check it out, thanks!

I'll just give you the link here. That's easier since this post was from about 8 months ago. I also wrote another post about why I "came out" as a feminist. Like the author of the post we're commenting on, it was an internal struggle for a while.

Thanks for linking these posts! You make some excellent points, and it's nice to see that we've got some kindred spirits out there. @jrhughes and I have talked at length about the perceived incompatibility of these (actually complementary) values.

Read and followed. From one Christian Anarchist Feminist to another, welcome to this extremely little club, lol. Glad to see it getting a little bigger :)

It's still pretty uncomfortable to try to talk about seriously. It feels like a minefield sometimes with the "gotcha" mentality and the no-true-Scotsman responses.
