In fact, they would've spurned them as belonging to a stereotype of woman that they were rejecting.

I might say it is still pre-christian in the way women are treated (although others might object to the term).<br><br>I look forward to thinking about that too.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982273558471848626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416089578031996468.post-69076720270969020382011-10-03T11:07:23.713+10:302011-10-03T11:07:23.713+10:30That's funny, about the high heel.

I must admit that the high heel on the front puts me off everytime. I think that if that's what it means to have feminine faith then I'd rather be feminist!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982273558471848626noreply@blogger.com
