From what you sai...Anonymous,<BR/>Thanks for commenting! From what you said, it seems like you see no distinctions in the genders (I apologize if that's a wrong assumption). Since you're a Christian, I know that your basis for truth is Scripture. As such, I commend to you Genesis 1:27. Men and women are both made in God's image, both equal in worth/value. And, without diminishing our equal value in any way, we have different functions in life. Men & women were created to complement each other, not be exactly like each other.<BR/><BR/>Because of both genders' equal value, I agree with your efforts to fight for eqaulity in healthcare & education. But because of the God-given gender differences, there are certain jobs that are not well-suited for men (that's why you don't see many male daycare workers). And I'm not sure what you mean by equal access to parenthood. In fact, that struck me as odd. As Christians, you & I must agree with God's command to marry & have children (Gen. 1:28, 2:24-25, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5, Hebrews 13:4). These verses would seem to clear up any questions about 'equal access to parenthood.'<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the comment! I really do appreciate the diaologue.The Culbertsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802402322700110183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999400796876673678.post-80940023167486424702008-02-22T10:14:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:14:00.000-05:00As a Christian AND feminist, I do not want or stri...As a Christian AND feminist, I do not want or strive to be "masculine" (and just as a side note, the length of one's hair hardly denotes the level of one's femininity!) It's really quite an oversimplification of what it means to be a feminist, which is different for every woman who considers herself one. I want, and work for, equality of opportunity for both genders, which has nothing to do with pursuit of the "masculine". It DOES include equal access to jobs, education, health care, parenthood, etc.<BR/><BR/>Besides, Hillary has no choice but to act "masculine"---our country (over) values masculine characteristics in our society and certainly in our leaders. If she wants to be elected, she has to "act like a man". If she "acted like a woman", all her opponents would jump on her for being "too emotional" or "not strong enough". It's a doubled-edged sword that stems from silly gender stereotypes, much like the ones you endorse in your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999400796876673678.post-77566421272018065742007-08-14T10:27:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:27:00.000-04:00Jason, I have to admit that even I haven't read my...Jason, I have to admit that even I haven't read my blog much lately!
