Mostly because it brought visions of bra-burnings and a level of aggressiveness that I didn't necessarily want to be associated with. And to me, the whole idea of feminism is that we get to choose how we live, what we do, we get to be comfortable in our own skin and be the best of who we are. So yes, I consider myself a feminist and do think that the working world reflects the issues that still exist and brings them to light. They don't create them but reflect them. It's an area where they're easier to see and is more comfortable, for most, to talk about. How this has affected my faith? Well, I could write a book about that. ;-) All the best! deb .-= Deb Owen´s last blog ..<a href="http://debowen.typepad.com/8hours/2009/11/anythingeverything.html" rel="nofollow">anything is possible, everything is not</a> =-.

SO thoughtful,clear, honest and open. I consider myself a feminist as well. I sometime struggle with the word because it seems as if its a dirty word in certain quarters. I name it and proclaim it proudly not just for myself but for my daughters. I hear" your voice" and it is singing! What a great post. SO thoughtful,clear, honest and open.
