    Is feminism compatible with Christianity?

    I feel somewhat lost in my life at the moment, and I'm looking for a greater sense of direction. I agree with most (if not all) of what Christianity stands for, and the more I learn, the more I agree. I've considered myself agnostic for years, but this was mostly because I didn't feel I had...
