Like I said, I am kidding around a little, but I am also serious. I wouldn't use the 50's as an upstanding decade of gender distinction- this is when women really started displacing men in the workforce and abandoning traditional roles.
What is a "Christian feminist"? Forgive me, but when I think of a feminist- the last thing I think of is Christ. It usually conjures images of psychotic college chicks running around with their top off, screaming a men- confused as to why men don't respect them.

A feminist believes women have choices as to whether they work or be a stay at home wife or /mother , so as a Christian I believe we follow the individual calling Christ has for our lives. That both marriage and celibacy are choices for both male and female
That women have the right to be safe from abuse of any kind or rape even if that means leaving a marriage
That women have the right to decent maternal healthcare
That women have freedom to choose safety from forced marriage and female genital mutilation
That both men and women have different strengths (am speaking generally here) and are made differently but are saved the same way and have the same spiritual giftings.
That marriage is a partnership and headship and submission means protection
That women are to be gentle and humble as the Bible says which does not mean they can't have careers or decide to choose their own marriage partners etc
That women can look beautiful. It isn't what's important but I don't really see anything in bible forbidding a woman making the best of herself and wearing nice clothes
None of the screaming wearing vagina hats are anything I aspire to . I don't have the right personality for that kind of thing anyway. am v introverted and would rather just read a book ! I don't tend to sit around worrying whether men respect me or not, I like living alone! I
I don't really believe in abortion but I think if one doesn't want children that's ok as long as no life taken.I
So i don't believe anything that contradicts bible . I don't do legalism though, I am sure God not bothered about a woman wearing trousers and doing an engineering job!
