I learned so much about you. I ...What a great post. I learned so much about you. I love how you proudly state your beliefs. Recently there has been talk about divisions among those in the breast cancer community, you perhaps alluded to a few. I don't see it that way at all. I see strong-minded women speaking with passion. And IMHO being a feminist simply means one who is working to promote equal rights, respect and dignity for women, in fact, for all people. So to me you are a feminist. So, yes, again in IMHO there is such a thing as a conservative feminist! But regardless of what we call ourselves, we need all of our collective voices to bring an end to those horrible things Kathi mentioned in her comment. As you said, it's remarkable we aren't past some of this stuff yet. Keep on telling your truths, Shelli. We need you.

And you make important nuan...Darlin', you rock. And you make important nuances in this post. The best way to prevent abortions is to educate girls, and end violence against girls and women. Until women have genuine social equality; until women are not subject to domestic violence, incest & rape; until girls are not kidnapped, abused & forced into sexual slavery; until we are paid according to our work & not our gender; and until men stop telling us what to do with our body parts while they obsess over them, even hate us for them, & act like they own them, we have to keep raising these issues. Nothing ever changes in silence.<br /><br />It doesn't say much for our species that we are so far from achieving all this. It's especially hard when so many women internalize the misogyny & don't understand how the baggage of gender stereotyping attached to the color pink puts us on a slippery slope, with cutesy breast cancer slogans at one end, and bloody Pornhub at the other. But sniping at each other is not the answer either. The atmosphere of polarization in this country is nauseating & unproductive.<br /><br />Grumble on, sistah.The Accidental Amazonhttp://accidentalamazon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139730404069524130.post-37427854709618718762012-11-04T09:09:36.815-07:002012-11-04T09:09:36.815-07:00That is a compliment I embrace and appreciate!

I was deeply troubled by the polarization of the BC community around Komen and Planned Parenthood, ie., how prolife sisters-in-arms suddenly became the enemy. <br />You are one ballsy conservative Christian, and I applaud you!<br />Jamie<br />@ibeatcancrtwiceJamie Inmanhttp://stayinthepink-jamie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
