I understand why a lot of you might think I'm a troll. However, I assure you I am not. I have been reading Yahoo! Answers for quite some time now. Recently I just got the guts up to start an account. I really didn't think it was worth it before. After finding this section of Gender and Women's Studies, I definitely thought it was worth it. As I felt I have a different point of view that would be good for some women to read. Again, lol, I assure you I am indeed a pregnant woman. Married to my hubbie for 2 years. This is our first child and after trying for a year to conceive we are very excited.
Also, I don't see how I've "slammed the palce with religious propaganda". I'm just voicing my opinion and to back my opinion I just my knowledge from religion.

I consider that an oxymoron.

There are a great many christian feminists. Through history women have used feminism and religion to fight oppression. Lucretia Mott Coffin was a very spiritual woman who with her African American sister Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman worked tireless to end slavery in the United States.
Christian feminism is a branch of feminist theology which seeks to interpret and understand Christianity in the scope of the equality of women and men morally, socially, and in leadership. Because this equality has been historically ignored, Christian feminists believe their contributions are necessary for a complete understanding of Christianity. While there is no standard set of beliefs among Christian feminists, most agree that God does not discriminate on the basis of biologically-determined characteristics such as gender. Their major issues are the ordination of women, male dominance in Christian marriage, and claims of moral deficiency and inferiority of abilities of women compared to men. They also are concerned with issues such as the balance of parenting between mothers and fathers and the overall treatment of women in the church

Absolutely!
My definition of feminism is "Men and women have equal value". Period. End of sentence. I fight for this to be true in the world, in terms of pay equity, voting rights, education for both sexes, and so forth. I do NOT think women and men are the same, or that bashing men and trying to bring them down is acceptable.
The one place I think my definition is ALREADY true is in the eyes of God. Jesus broke with prevailing practice of the day by associating and elevating women all around him, proving to me that we are equal in His sight.
As a believer, I think it is my calling to work to bring "his kingdom come, his will be done" by doing what He would do. And that is why I am a feminist.

I have been reading your questions and answers.
You just opened your account yesterday and came directly here to tell all women what to do and to "put them in their place". Besides you have broken Yahoo rules by spamming the place with religious propaganda.
My conclusion is that you are a troll, actually I think you are "Ronnie".
It would be not the first time that trolls create a new account as a fictitious woman, to "prove" their own points or instigate. Therefore I don't answer as I don't trust your identity.
Edit:
If I am wrong, I honestly apologize, although I thought that to be able to read in Yahoo answers you needed an account.

How is your point of view that women shouldn't be equal, shouldn't vote, and shouldn't work good for some women to read? I really don't understand your whole stance about us and feminism. Why do you dislike it so? How does it adversely affect you(where as your views, if implemented, would adversely affect us by taking away our freedoms and rights)?

Sure there are. In fact, there is a magazine (whose title eludes me for the moment) devoted specifically to Catholic feminism. It's possible to be a feminist and believe in the basic tenets of religion, but no one said you had to take it literally.
I'm Jewish, by the way.

There sure are. Christian feminists are out there and have been out there since day one. The majority of feminists are Christian.
I think that Christian Feminism is interesting. :)
