this semester i realized that it's totally ok to be a Christian and a feminist. Egalitarians believe that God created men and women equally in his image. they also believe that men and women are equally responsible for sin.
Egalitarians reject the idea of the hierarchy and believe in mutual submission in marriage.
They believe that the curse that followed the Fall of man was descriptive, not prescriptive. When Even and Adam ate the apple the curse is what happened because of that. It was not necessarily what God wanted to happen. Adam would struggle with wanting to dominate Eve, and Eve would desire Adam.
In the church, egalitarians believe that men and women can both be leaders. They believe that in marriage, roles should be determined by giftedness and situtation, not by gender.
men and women are equally created by God. they may be different at times, but they are both equally capable of leadership and equally respsonsible to God.
so if I get married, the man will have to understand how i feel about this and be willing to deal with it (maybe he'll even agree with me)
