On a general level, I think a lot of people find these personal contradictions in their churches. Specifically, though, I'm wondering if you feel judged as a woman by your church or by outsiders seeing you as a christian woman.

It's strange because my church doesn't do anything wrong to their women. We have equal rights... But there are a few men who I've heard that use the old "submit to your husband" scripture. There is a huge thing I do not like though... My church is very sports oriented and we actually own a community gym called Lords Gym. It's awesome but with that I find that with sports.. Comes masculinity.

So sometimes I do feel rejected as a women in a passive way, but not directly.
