Chan ends up not only mischaracterizing feminist critical theory and pushing aside some truly resonant embodiments of God as Mother/Sister, but also, in these acts, constructs a God who, frankly, would be quite the lousy God indeed. <br /><br />Here we have a God whose male personhood must be understood to have been crafted in opposition to ancient cultural traditions (to avoid those icky female cults) but who is now completely trapped by current cultural traditions of patriarchy that continue practices of domination and appropriation in the name of this same God who has been fashioned in misogyny's image. <br /><br />No thanks.

This is the 'feminism' I'm really interested. Male centered doctrine is not easy to shed light on as you have.SJhttp://theivorylighthouse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
