that jesus was perhaps one of the earliest feminists, in an era of great patriarchy.
is this true?
it sounds like christianity might be ok after all... from this perspective... should we be thankful to christianity for that?
have we gone further than what the church has to offer though, since it represented only early steps to help women in the early days?
possibly early christians knew if they took an extreme approach and asked for equality for women straight away, they'd get nowhere. so they compromised, and asked for a few benefits for women.
now though, have we gone further? can we be thankful that the church started this process of gaining equality for women, but also that we've, gladly, gone beyond what the church affords women?
