Especially those most vulnerable and helpless, the unborn. That doesn't seem to be stressing the inherent dignity of each human life to me.

That doesn’t seem to be stressing the inherent dignity of each human life to me.

"Our daughters daughters will adore us and they'll sing in grateful chorus . . .

And the point a lot of women are making is Jesus wouldn't act that way toward women, so why is the Bride of Christ acting that way. Sort of puts you on the defensive and women are seeking harmony in Christ. I really hear what Wendy is saying.

Sounds like just more of a people driven problem. Just my opinion.

My husband was appalled at how the church I worked for (as church secretary) treated me. Women are definitely still second class citizens in most churches. So most feminists want nothing to do with an institution that oppresses women. I think many churches are distinctly patriarchal and limiting to women.

Many groups struggle to find secure identity when you base your foundation on a reactionary process as opposed to being proactive in who and what you are. This also leads to vulnerability and greater intimidation from others questioning your position/beliefs.
