The rights of every [wo]man are diminished when the rights of one [wo]man is threatened. - John F. Kennedy
Last year, The Inquirer chose to stand for equality-- to put forth our case in making our campus aware of the marginalization of certain social groups. Our SA president, Kryzia Abacan, once asked: “Why are we completely ignoring the fact that we are all DIFFERENT, ALWAYS CHANGING, ALWAYS GROWING human beings “sameness” then we haven’t had unity since the beginning of time..” This issue is dedicated to opening the doors on a cause that, to me, widely acknowledges individual differences and makes a point to give all the opportunity to grow, express oneself, and be considered as an intellectual equal without shame of being different. That cause is feminism. have dedicated themselves to openly welcome and speak to students without judgement.
Regardless of gender, orientation, race, belief, or conviction, you are loved for your differences. look for:

Good! That means that we can talk about Feminism. Tricky thing about words and language, though, is the sticky way meanings can get attached or hide an essential concept. If you look at the word ‘feminism,’ there’s the obvious ‘femme’ part that scares away some demographics into thinking that Feminism is a cause for radical man-hating, bra-burning, Westernized lesbian ladies.

NOTEWORTHY NOTES
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Let’s do some math. Students pay approximately $1,500 for a cafeteria plan. These students are usually dorm students who have nowhere else to eat. The $1,500 should cover meals for approximately 3.5 months. Students should approximately spend $428 per month. This is equivalent to $14 per day for 3 meals. We decided to test whether this formula works or not. We asked a student, Yuot Tut, to monitor one-week of spending at the cafeteria. He did not buy any junk food or juice boxes: he stuck to strictly food. Below you will find the results:
Overall Total: 81.05 This total excludes breakfast every morning and meals for Sunday. We averaged his spending to $7.40. Using this average, we calculated in breakfast and his meals for Sunday. The new overall total for the week would be $132.85. This equals to $531.40 per month, which equals $1,859.90 per semester. We are $359.90 over the spending limit. This excludes the occasional snack pick-up, or juice box craving, or junk food hunger. How much are you spending per meal? And what are you spending it on?

From November 1-3, I attended the North American Division (NAD) year-end meetings. This would be the first time that student representatives would be able to attend. It was truly a blessing to attend and be able to see how our church works behind the scenes. Along with the other student representatives, I felt truly welcomed by all of the delegates and those who are in charge of the NAD. They allowed for us to be part of the conversation, giving us the ability to speak what’s on our mind and what’s on our hearts pertaining to the issues on the table. They tried to include us in future plans, sitting down with us during lunch and dinner in hopes of getting our feedback on things. Outside of the meetings, all of us student representatives met together to give our feedback about what we were experiencing and what we were learning. The NAD caught wind of our nightly meetings and requested that we put together a document to present to them about our response to everything presented at the meetings. Below you will find a copy of the official document that has been forwarded to the NAD, as well as the Adventist Review for publication. Introduction We, the young adult delegates and student representatives to the annual NAD year-end conference, recognize and deeply appreciate the inclusive spirit shown towards us by our church leaders at these meetings and therefore feel inspired to share our collective vision on behalf of our generation.

At a time of increasing disaffection and disillusionment with Adventism in our generation, we wish to move from apathy to action, from a church too often focused inward to one passionately focused outward. We see a world tipping over a financial, environmental, and social precipice and wonder: is this not a time above all others to be about our Father’s business?

In a sincere spirit of love for God, respect for our leaders, and commitment to the mission and message of the Seventh-day Adventist Church we declare our support for the six building blocks which focus the mission of the NAD during this quinquennium, viz., Transformational Evangelism, Adventist Learning Community, Social Media, Women in Leadership, and Emerging Immigrant Groups.

3:10-31 talks about the virtuous woman of whom I will discuss a bit about. The passage starts by describing her as being more expensive than rubies and goes on to say in verse 12 that she brings her husband good and not harm for as long as she lives. We can also see that the virtuous woman is both a bread winner and a caregiver from what the bible says. In verse 15 she is a caregiver: “She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.” In verse 16 she is a bread winner: “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” And in verse 17 as well: “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” She is also described as being generous in verse 20: “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” Most importantly she is a Child of the King as shown in verse 26: “She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction on her tongue.”
BREAKING BREAD feminism
On the sixth day of creation, God created man in his own image and put him in charge of all he had made (Genesis 1:26). He was to work it and take care of it. God decided that it was not good for Adam to labor by himself and so he created Eve to assist him (Genesis 2:18). The thing is, before Adam and Eve sinned against God, they were equals, Adam was not the head of Eve as husbands are the head of their wives today. The bible speaks of this in Ephesians 5:22-24. When they sinned, the Lord cursed Adam to even more intense labor than what he had been doing before Eve in Eden (Genesis 3:19). Eve, on the other hand, was cursed with having painful child birth and of course Adam was made to rule over her (Genesis 3:16 b). So because of the sin of our forefathers, the woman who was once a man’s assistant became his subject. Before women’s rights came to the West in the 18th century, all women were thought to be inferior to men.
home to look after the children and women going to work. In Nigeria, for example, it is more of the traditional family where the father is the bread winner and the mother is the caregiver. Meaning that, even if a woman is working, she is still the one who prepares food and takes care of the children. This is probably why emphasis is placed on a woman knowing how to cook there than in the West for example. My stance on it, honestly I’m not a huge fan of feminism. I don’t think it’s because of my cultural background but because of spirituality. I’ll further explain. I’ll go through the reasons why I do not totally agree with it and then talk about it from a biblical perspective. Note that this is just my opinion. Although feminism has done some great things for woman kind such as giving them a voice, enabling them to be able to work and go to school. There are some down sides, which let’s face it pertain to everything no matter how great they are.
Now, western women are guided by feminist principles. I find this very interesting because the feminist ideology makes women think more in the lines of “I am an independent woman whose role does not only involve taking care of the children and the household but working.” The feminist ideology also pushes that women are equal to men. As we can clearly see, this is the opposite of what the bible indicated after Eve’s fall. So I talked about the west having feminist ideologies, but what about other countries? I myself am Nigerian and I noticed that because of the feminization of the Western societies, women are more comfortable taking on stereotypically “men’s roles” and men “stereotypically “women’s roles.” This is why it is more common today to see men staying at
I feel that feminism has caused an extreme just like anti-feminism, where women who are not feminized have certain roles that they need to fill whereas the feminized ones sometimes do not care about running a home or taking care of the children but only working. With the feminist movement, women are becoming to “hardened.” Emphasis is placed so much on equality and independence rather than on character. We are a generation that has become so obsessed with equality that being a caregiver is insulting to some women. It does not involve bringing out humble women but proud ones. That is why in this day and age a woman can make a statement such as: “I don’t need a man.” Instead of “I will do God’s will.” And this is where spirituality comes in: Proverbs
November 18, 2013
NovA.indd 8-9
Before I go on, I would like to say that some women cling on to feminist beliefs because they feel being a caregiver and not a breadwinner is weakness. The truth is most people associate caregiving as a woman’s job which is further associated to weakness or a weak job and vice versa. Verse 25 a says: “She is clothed with strength and dignity.” Her strength does not come from the fact that she is a breadwinner or is independent; her strength comes from God as she is his child. So, it is not what you do that defines your strength because only God can give it to you. Psalm 28: 7 a says: “The Lord is my strength and my shield.” Lastly, verse 30 says: “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” This is reminding us that the most important thing is to have the fear of God. You can have all the wealth and power that equality brings but without the fear of God, it is all useless. Remember Solomon, he had all the wealth of the world but was still not satisfied. He called wealth vanity in Ecclesiastes 1:2. I am not saying that wanting equality and independence are bad things but when they become the primary focus rather than having a Christ-like character, then there is a problem. So women should strive on becoming virtuous just as the bible describes and God will reward you as you do his will. I will conclude by saying that I feel there should be a balance; there is nothing wrong with men and women assisting each other instead of limiting themselves to a particular role. A woman can be a breadwinner and a caregiver, not just one or the other likewise the man. I will leave you with this bible passage to reflect on. Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Hi there, I was reading your report on the cafeteria thing and I found indignant that they lied to you when they told you they do not use left over food. They are transforming left over into other dishes that they sell at full price. Yes they check their fridges, but they still make vegetables casseroles with rotten vegetables because the CHEF does not want to admit he does not know how to make a good vegetarian meal. As an ex-worker I tell you that the reason why I quit my job was because their standards are not near close to being like the old cafeteria was. If they told you everything is fresh and locally grown is another big lie. As an ex-employee of Aramark I think they are not as great as they claim. The CHEF they hired for CUC are Boston Pizza ex workers that have no idea about vegetarian neither of any source of protein replace but rice and beans. You need to get the truth out of them because I am still getting complaints from students telling me that the food is awful and expensive.
