Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

    She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

    She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

    You sure you copy-pasted the right verse number from whatever?

      Yeah, from Proverbs 31:10 on this chapter is describing what the author considers a “worthy woman”.

      This is an odd passage. It seems to be encouraging the poor to drink to forget their poverty.

      6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
      7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

      Proverbs 31:6-7 WEB translation (public domain).

        I would’ve used YLT, personally speaking. Otherwise, Proverbs 31 is the reason Neigsendoig and I choose not to be feminists.

            Simply put, Bible versions after the mid 1800’s are complete bunk, and add to and take away from the Word. You can thank the Roman Catholic Church for supervising those particular Bibles.

                It’s connected to other verses that basically say that, while a woman can work when needed, she should not be required to. To be frank on it, the ladies may not need to work if they can easily provide for their family. What happened in 1920 basically made it to where no lady can be the homemaker anymore, as many of them NEVER supported it.
