The opposite of fundamentalism is feminism.

I am adamantly pro choice, which is pro woman, a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body. This is a personal, private medical issue.

Unwanted pregnancies will ALWAYS occur. Women will ALWAYS have abortions, always NEED abortions. The idea that we "just need to get back to chastity" (which I actually heard uttered by a prolife representative on the radio 2 weeks ago) When was that exactly? Are we talking belts here? I worry when the good old days are medieval.

So I've been thinking about the idea that the opposite of fundamentalism, here, in Kabul, in Tehran, is Feminism. Anyone else out there consider themselves a feminist?
