My Worldview: Feminist

My Worldview

I am a catholic therefore my worldview is partly Christian Theistic. I am also a feminist so my worldview is also partly feminist.

Paying tribute to God (and only God) in what I do is the first example of Christian theism; our actions should always honor God, his creation and our family. The responsibility to create a loving, wholesome, solid and respectful family is also in important responsibility. Upholding morals such as honesty, humility, forgiveness, generosity and peace. I firmly trust in and love in God, which I believe, is the biggest and most important part of a Christian worldview.

Feminism is one of the biggest influences in my life. The fact that men and women are unequal in

    As Johnson would describe it, “Androcentrism, or male-centeredness, refers to ways of thinking that privilege men; it makes men’s way of being human normative for all human beings”, this became an issue in different countries due to the habitual rituals that were still being practiced (95). In other countries, women were still not allowed to be integrated in churches and religious structures. Instead, women of these countries didn’t push to be more perceived in the masculine dominated world (95).

    When someone says they are a feminist, people often think they hate men when in reality they do not. Many people who identify as a feminist do have anger and some hate towards men, however, that is not what true feminism stands for. Feminism is not about empowering women and putting men down, or turning a patriarchal society into a matriarchal one; it is about advocating for women’s rights to be equal to men. Even though it seems that a woman’s role in society has changed, it has not. In the 1960s when the women’s liberation movement began, the expectation was that a woman was a mother and took care of the home.…

    Chapter’s 6 and 7 of Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions discuss the important topics of Sex, Power, and Intimacy, as well as Reproductive Justice. Although there are many important things discussed in both of these chapters, I feel by far the most relevant topic to my own experiences, is around asexuality. Given my fairly low sex drive, and emphasis on other aspects of relationships (such as shared activities, and companionship), I can identify with some aspects of the asexual community. Besides my personal experiences, however, I commend the authors for bringing to light, and discussing key issues on this important topic.…

    From that life altering experience, I was raised with the belief in a relational God but there were periods that I struggled with what I believed, and how I viewed myself and the world around me. I feel like at the time I wasn’t conscious of the fact that my worldview was my family’s view not my own. In middle school to about Jr. High School, I realized how I viewed myself at the time. During this period of time, I did not view myself positively. It got to the point where I considered life or death.…

    Nasserism and the revolution of 1952 came to Egypt with a number of changes, and not just through land reform, voting rights for women, and the nationalization of the Suez Canal. The new era that followed the 1952 coup did not only affect politics and the economy. In tandem with economic reform and social justice movements, Egyptians faced a change in the collective mind of the nation, the relationships of individuals, new morals and values, and growing national identity. In The Open Door, Latifa al-Zayyat highlights how the political revolution changed the personal lives of Egyptians. Her novel fills the holes that are often left empty by purely historical discussions.…

    Feminism is relative and depends on the intersection of other identities such as nationality, sexuality, race, and class status. Can a theory fully articulate a concept when there are other factors that affect the theory? On the other hand the biggest strength of feminism is that in many ways it is self-critiquing. Feminist theory is pliable and accommodating when it comes to an oppressed group that feels unrepresented within another oppressed group. Feminism is not static but fluid in many ways.…

    What exactly is womanist theology? According to Stacy M. Floyd-Thomas, womanist theology reveals itself to be an organic discourse inasmuch as it is faithful to the church while also seeking to remake this most central and cherished institution. This is not viewed as an innovation by womanist theologians but is deemed a continuation of Black women’s traditional culture of struggle survival and, and celebration that represents the likes of womanist muses such as: Maria Steward, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Well-Barnett, and many more. Throughout my reading experience on womanist theology, I have been quite captivated. I look forward to informing you about womanist and feminist theologies, specifically in the United States and sharing how it is different.…

    Feminist Anthropology

    The feminist perspective on anthropology has, like in numerous other disciplines, run ‘parallel’ to the subject. The attempt to shift the paradigms has created some tension between the ideas of the feminist perspective and the existing archetypes of anthropology. However, feminist thinking in anthropology has reshaped the study of gender and has become somewhat accepted by mainstream social anthropologists. In this essay my aim is to explore the ways in which male-bias has been allowed to occur and how feminist thinking has affected the study of anthropology. It is my intention elaborate on the ideas where the feminist perspective has broken the parallel form and touched with particular subjects within the study of anthropology.…

    Feminist ethics is a necessary theory to consider because traditional (male) ethics fail to acknowledge virtues that are beyond the focus of culturally masculine ones. By focusing on values of a patriarchal society, traditional ethics not only ignores females as moral beings but also narrows the ways of approaching ethical issues for all. By aiming attention at female values such as “interdependence, community, connection, sharing, emotion, body, trust, absence of hierarchy, nature, immanence, process, joy, peace, and life” instead of solely masculine ones such as “independence, autonomy, intellect, will, wariness, hierarchy, domination, culture, transcendence, product, asceticism, war and death”, an ethical view can be applied for real world…
