From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article does a good job at giving examples of Christian Feminism and how it is viewed and used using scripture from the Bible. However, it fails to discuss how Christian feminism has changed over time and how this has impacted society or our social norms. It also doesn't directly relate it to modern day feminism without the Christian perspective and pinpoint differences and similarities. For example, modern day feminists are more radical than Christian feminists in the fact that they wish to change things like the general lingo of society such as saying "congressperson" instead of "congressman" or "anchorman" to "anchorperson". They are more in a rebellion whereas Christian feminists don't let believe in any kind of hierarchy of gender because that would distract or prove to be an obstacle of getting where God wants them do be and what God wants them to do. [1] This just means acting in a way that doesn't put one person in a position of higher power.

This article also doesn't address the contrasting morals the Roman Catholic Church has with the use of contraception or birth control and how that ties in with feminism.

The Catholic Church does not support the use of man made contraception before marriage. This conflicts with the feminist idea that every woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. And if means choosing to take birth control then so be it. They also argue that it is unequal for only women to have to take pills for birth control where birth control for men has only been studied and turned down due to side affects.

These are two main arguments I would like to add to this article.
