One would think that feminism actually resembled the very word it is derived from. Right?
I'd like to take a brief look at this phenomenon so let's take a look at what this word actually means.
Feminism
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

That makes perfect sense, right? Feminists seek the attainment of equal rights as that of men. So on one side, feminists are demanding to be at one with man, and on the other, that is the very opposite to what they supposedly stand for; being feminine. A feminist is ultimately shunning the very thing they are made of. The movement pushes for the empowerment of women by trying to become more like men. It would make more sense to call this doctrine Masculinity as this is what they are aiming for.
To be a real femininist, is to stand up for the femininity of this gender. To love that which is feminine and all that represents it. A real femininist is proud to be a woman, a mother and a wife and accepts all that these things entail. 'Masculinity', as I will now call it, is to downplay the role of a stay-at-home mother and to ridicule the responsibility of a home-maker.
I think you'd agree that a woman is genetically different from a man. She is anatomically and psychologically different from her male counterpart. For a start no normal human male has ever, or will ever carry and give birth to a child not to mention the fact that women talk a hell of a lot more than any man could. Why can we not embrace this fact. Why can we not accept that Woman holds a different role in life to men. No man could do some things that a woman does, and vice versa.

I believe every woman should have the right to be a feminine woman according to the way God created her. To be the home-maker, the loving wife and mother that only she has the ability to be. I don't want to put Man on a pedestal and then complain I am made to feel inferior. Striving to be something you are not and never will be is to forget who you are. Wanting something you don't have is to belittle that which God granted you as a human being.
In sum, I'd like to declare that I am a feminist, but in it's truest form. I'm different to the sons of Adam, but I can be different and equal. And God is the best of Judges.
