Eco-Feminism

      This is one of the most logical titles I have ever come across. Everything that is natural is womanly, well in my opinion anyway. Think about it, Mother Nature, woman. Child birth, natural. Woman. So many things that are natural are often referred to as women.  Nature completely rules the lives of humans and, in a way, women often control what is going on in the world. Without woman there would be no children. There would be no way for humanity to survive. Perhaps it is my feminist views, but I think that nature and feminism and womanhood is completely related. Nature is so often given female traits and names, and so often women are related to the beauty of nature. The two are so finely intertwined, it only makes sense to create a category where they both co-exist.

Where do I stand?

      I stand far more on the naturalist spectrum. Having essentially no religion myself, I believe in science and finding explanations in logic. I find it hard to believe in something without some sort of proof. Part of the reason I struggle with faith is because I find it hard to believe in something without being able to doubt it. Doubt is what makes things stronger, and what finds proof. Religion is something that cannot be tested, but can be doubted. And what I find hard is being able to doubt, but not be able to prove. People can debate about the existence of God or some sort of higher being, but no one can ever prove it. That is something that I just have trouble doing.
