In the wake of the 'Dannygate' issue it made me think about the impact of apostasy and it various forms and on some level how it equates to the feminist movement and its development over the years.
Initially, The Radical Feminist movement were and are the typical man hating, bra burning cross section who undoubtedly moved womens rights foward significantly and to some degree still do. Without the Radical feminist movement, the likelihood of the liberal and more balanced feminist movements ever existing would have been uncertain if not improbable. So indirectly the feminist movement owes a lot to those radicals who were out there burning bra's and linching men (I was joking about the last bit). This is because without them, womens rights would not have been such a high profile issue and change would not have occured paving the way for more liberal movements.
Similarly however we have Radical Apostates such as Danny who (despite his recent abhorent behaviour) are prepared to push boundaries and be seen in the public eye. The placade carrying, scripture shouting, watchtower burning apostates whilst to some might appear over the top, they have had a valid contribution to raising what are considered to be 'apostate' issues to the forefront of minds of insiders and those on the outside. Without them, I believe that the more liberal apostates who are working in more subtle fashions would not have seen the light of day and as such no real support would be on offer to those who are exiting.
Whilst I hate the term apostate, I use it for ease of reference.
What are your views? What kind of apostate would you suggest you are and where do you think the future lies for both movements?
