I'm sure some have been wondering how you can call yourself a Christian (or a member of any other "patriarchal" religion) and a feminist.
It seems to me that feminism is in the eye of the beholder. I don't believe you have to subscribe to some rigid tenets (such as the absolute right to an abortion) to call yourself a feminist. I would rather concentrate, not on changing the world, but modifying the views of those around me. If they will accept what I determine to be feminism, and not cross the lines I have set for myself, then I would consider that a victory.
