Not from morning sickness, this time. Ilyka Damen is doing a “Blog Against the Strawfeminist” week. Whatever that means. Personally, I do most of my feminist-watching at Feminist Blogs, which I can skim through quickly without getting too riled up. There are plenty of examples there of feminists that are far-left, angry, bitter, anti-male, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, and absolutely paranoid about losing the right to abortion. (Hugo Schwyzer is an exception–I almost respect him even though I seriously disagree with him.)

The Ladies Against Feminism have already addressed this, at some length. See their articles “You Don’t Know Feminism” and “What is Feminism?”. The latter one, especially, is excellent:

We believe there is one Definer of maleness and femaleness and that His definition (as Creator of the human race) is perfect. Feminism began in the Garden of Eden–not in 18th-century France or 19th-century New England. The serpent invited our first mother to question God’s ability to define her–”Hath God said…?” (Genesis 3:1). This is the heart of feminism today–a constant questioning of anyone else’s ability or right to tell us who we are as women. But with constantly shifting definitions, we do not find happiness, peace or fulfillment; we find only Eve’s bitterness and the chaos of a fallen world. L.A.F. believes that the more we seek to conform ourselves to God’s will for women–to His unchanging definition–the happier and more at peace we will be as individuals and within the societies we help to build.

I’m a strong, intelligent, capable woman, but Christ has to be my first allegiance. There are just too many things in feminism that I can’t swallow as a Christian.
