It’s one thing to be cognizant of the failings of feminism, but to decry the term so liberally is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Worse: It sets a poor example for young women to distance themselves from the word in order to curry favor with men. It’s kind of like a self-hatred.

I am pleased to call myself a feminist and a Christian, citing the areas that I may disagree with but always honoring both.

98Ramble October 25, 2012 at 6:06 pm I must admit, that does prove your point perfectly.

Don’t feed the trolls. You were doing better when you told me to shut up, already.

I support your website’s mission because I keep agreeing with much of your advice (with exception of sex outside marriage).

I know that not everyone is a Christian and not all Christians support abstinence. I respect everyone’s journey – what I like about your advice is that you engage young women in thinking for themselves about the consequences of all this “free love” nonsense that the media is peddling and inviting men to contribute their thoughts.

It’s very powerful for me to read when men wholeheartedly agree that they respect modesty and sexual restraint in women. Somehow, on some primal level I guess, it makes it more real for me – it’s like a brother or father giving your advice their stamp of approval. So for that, great job!

I just wanted to point out that it’s equally important to value the contribution of past and present feminists who are actively working to ensure the protection and promotion of women’s rights – because in effect when women do well, families and society do well. That’s why international microfinance loan programs focus on women because mothers are more likely to use their earnings to help pull their family ahead.

The fact that I admire the strength and sacrifices of women does not in any way diminish my admiration of men. I do not equate feminism with man-hating at all – in fact, men who angrily put down feminism raise a red flag for me. Any man raised by a hardworking and loving single mother would know differently.
