Feminists And Christianity

[spathiphyllum]

This is NOT the sort of video i would ever watch.. But i came across it.

Do you believe you can be a feminist, and a devoted christian?

[andy-hughes]

I was going to watch it, then I remembered, I have to put all the things in the fridge in alphabetical order ...

[andy-hughes]

I managed one minute five seconds, and then I had to fight the urge to pull my own head off!

[Mamyalynne]

It will all pivot on how ardent a feminist or a christian you want to be, for those two young ladies it's clearly a no.

[spathiphyllum]

I feel if you want to wear the label, then you must live to it.

[Mamyalynne]

Measuring such concepts aren't precise science though are they?

Some will say, I'm a feminist but I don't believe in 'x' and so on.

[spathiphyllum]

"I'm a vegan but i believe in eating cheese"

Then you're not a vegan.

[spathiphyllum]

you can be your own interpretation of these labels, but some things are set in stone. For example, if you're a christian, you believe in god.

Andy if you can get past the first 2 minutes it gets kind of interesting

[kvalidir]

Right I watched it all and as others have said it depends on what kind of Christian and what kind of feminist you want to be. These ladies think it's not possible I'd say it probably is ( since I know a few), but they do make one pertinent point which is men are projected by advertising particularly as being witless, weak, pathetic, unable to do something the simple way then his girlfriend rocks up and solves it all in a trice with whatever they are advertising. That's not right, that offensive and it doesn't do anything to build string capable little boys who will grow into strong decent men. Other than that I recon they are largely chatting ***.

[spathiphyllum]

What did you feel about their stance on abortion and Womans rights at the -9 months stage?

[woofgang]

not sure which is funnier....the video or Andy's one liner......on balance gonna say Andy because his was said on purpose.

[spathiphyllum]

Haha, fair

[kvalidir]

Lol Andy - epic :) x

Abortion would never be right for me personally but it's a necessary thing for many women, for many reasons and I'm not about to judge them. I personally think early abortions ought to be easier to obtain which would ease the amount of later ones, but I don't think it's okay after a foetus is a viable baby except for medical reasons. There are obvious exceptions to all of this but generally those are my feelings on it.

I'm neither a feminist nor a Christian - but strictly speaking, no, you can't be both.

LOL, Most certainly not. Not if you take the Bible literally that is.

[woofgang]

You don't have to take the bible literally to be a Christian.....not to be a member of the Church of England or of many other churches that make up the Anglican Communion.
