Feminism
Hey. I'm a Republican, Christian 13 year old. What are the goals of feminism? I, personally, have been against gay marriages because it goes against my religion. What does feminism try to do? And what are the issues? I know abortion is one of them, and that is one of the biggest evils in the world. Can you give me a bit of info on the topic of feminism? I don't aim to become one. I am VERY Republican and do not aim to change my views. Have a nice day.

A feminist is someone who wants equal rights for women. There are feminist who are pro-choice and feminists who are pro-life. Some are Christian, some are not. Some are democrats and others are republican. I've noticed that a lot of people have these stereotypes about feminism that they usually get from "the other side", but if you ask any real feminist what we mean, you'll learn that there are a million different ways to help women... there aren't complicated strings attached, there aren't strict rules about it. If you think women are people too, you're a feminist.
They didn't have the word "feminism" floating around back when Christianity was invented, but trust me, Jesus was a feminist! When he called women "daughter" and "sister", when he stuck up for the adultress about to be stoned, when he befriended troubled women like Mary Magdalene, that was radical stuff back then. Most leaders of His time wouldn't give women a second thought. So I'd urge you to think about why you don't want to be called a feminist. Do you think women should be educated thinkers? Do you think we should have support systems to prevent abuse? Do you think women are capable of leading their communities and helping people alongside men? Then hey, you're a feminist and you don't even know it.
I'm a Christian. I'm a Republican. I think we should create programs that prevent unplanned pregnancies and make adoption programs easier so there are less abortions. And I'm a feminist!
