Talk:Feminist Spirituality

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moved intact from the feminism page 27 September 2001. Seemed more appropriate to have this on its own page.


Just a few items:

  • Why capitalize "feminism"? It isn't usually capitalized, I don't think.
  • Is there actually such a thing as 'feminist spirituality, or would it be more accurate to say that there are certain spirtual views that feminists tend to have more often than other groups of people? Just because feminists tend to be neopagans more often than non-feminists, it doesn't follow that neopaganism deserves the name "feminist spirituality"; that strikes me as tendentious and hence contrary to the neutral point of view. Maybe a better name, therefore, would be "feminism and neopaganism"--that's just a guess. I'm sure there are a dozen appropriate names that are not tendentious in the way "feminist spirituality" seems to be.
  • At any rate, I moved the article to feminist spirituality from Feminist Spirituality; please see naming conventions to learn why.

I hope this helps. Welcome, whoever you are! I hope you can help fill in the feminism and neopaganism sections!

Does this article presuppose that there is a difference between feminist spirituality and feminist theology? By that I refer to the fact that there are feminist Christians or feminist Jews who seek to alter the idea of male imagery with respect to the deity, and who promote feminist ideas within the theologies of their religions. Should there be a separate article on feminist theology, then?
