But, at the core, isn't that was all this is about...having the freedom to determine what is right for you without:
  • subordinating your beliefs to someone else's mold
  • subjecting yourself to someone else's interpretation/perspective of things around you?


Forget gender...isn't that at the core what freedom is? True freedom is the ability to do what you NEED to do without being subjected to the persecution or the pressure of what someone else WANTS you to do. If you NEED to work to support your family - GREAT! If you NEED to stay home to raise your kids - GREAT! Every situation and circumstance is different, so why do some believe that there is only one mold that works A working mom is no less a woman than a SAHM and vice versa.

And, for the record, I am not a "male feminist", because, I believe at the core, that there is not equality in any extreme. Women are women, men are men - there are inherent differences, but there is no superiority in God's eyes...so there's no room for any sense of superiority in mine.
