I found that I can't not be a feminist."<br /><br />So true. I'm find the same thing as I reflect and grow in my understanding of faith. I could have highlighted several other quotes from what you've written that I totally resonate with as well. <br /><br />I think Jesus clearly was a feminist, although you won't hear that stated in many churches!

By assuming the oblique position that everyone will or should understand that this very constricted definition is the entirety of what you mean by "modesty," you have made a suggestion inferring the illogical.<br /><br />It may be a particular fault of mine that I am more acutely aware of this in others. My original comment makes several modest illogical jumps, and this one may as well.

My definition is "Christian women always have to be careful about what they wear and how they move their bodies- women need to give up their right to wear what they want, because men are so helpless and vulnerable to lust."

It is further not rejected in your "modesty my solution" post, but rather confirmed and upheld.<br /><br />I have come to two possible conclusions on your assertion: One is you mistake "method of expression of modesty" for "modesty." The other is you hate modesty and make a misleading argument against modesty based upon that hatred, knowing that your hatred of modesty is illogical. I lean towards the first position, but as most of your posts have a tendency toward such illogical allusions, I second guess myself. If you truly are a hatefilled bigot, I think it good to figure it out quickly and avoid further interaction.<br /><br />What is your opinion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626292304461574111.post-72915212222368263652012-09-20T11:05:41.541-04:002012-09-20T11:05:41.541-04:00Thanks!Thanks!perfectnumber628https://www.blogger.com/profile/10303683510076315803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626292304461574111.post-3732778057484357812012-09-20T01:50:07.489-04:002012-09-20T01:50:07.489-04:00Wow.
