Strong women have been some of the biggest influences in my life.
My entire character was shaped by strong feminist voices who made men sound innately oppressive. That of course made me very feminist, rejecting many notions of masculinity, and pushing the boundaries of acceptable gender deviance.
But today, hearing 2 of the most strong headed young ladies I know putting their weight behind the biblical complementarian notion, was such a refreshment for me.
For a man to say it would sound patriarchal, but for a woman to say it was liberation for me.
Not being feminist doesn't mean being patriarchal.
