I guess mocking is the wrong word. Gently tease maybe. He really did check his language, it was just... well like we were talking about the two fish and five bread thing and how Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children and he said "sorry, Caroline that's just how they counted back then." and stuff like that. But he really did later say to me that he was happy that I spoke up and that sometimes he needed people to check him too ;)
I don't know if it's harder to be a feminist in a Christian community... I just suddenly were very aware that I didn't want these teenagers to think like that, and that we do need to check the way we speak early on! And it was just kind of a epiphany for me. Because I've never really thought all that much about my stance on it. But now it's something I really believe in. I think God might have had something to do with it ;)
