The world church is arguing for unity, but feminism has taught us the dangers of that type of unity. Can the church be truly unified? Or is it enforcing unity at the cost of people? Are members only united at the cost of excluding everyone with a different perspective? Could that be why the church needs feminism? Not, as Batchelor fears, to push the church into “unisex” thinking but to allow everyone in the church a voice? To make our church better and more fair? To let all of us be equal and more free? Feminism is not about ordaining female pastors, and it is not about recognizing the position of wife and mother above that of president or king. Feminism is about recognizing that you should have the right to prefer being a mother or father over being president and vice versa. Feminism is about recognizing that your way of looking at things is not the only way of looking at them. Of course, this is just my perspective. The beauty of feminism is that you are free to offer your own perspective on equal footing, regardless of your sex, race, class, or gender. No matter how radical. Quote Gregory
