is there a word for the fear of being unknown?: there are feminists with conservative morals. js.

I hate randomly seeing posts that are like “I can’t wait to break it to my devout Christian mother that I’m a feminist,” etc., I can’t think of all the examples that I’ve seen right now. But too often I come across posts that imply:
a) feminist = liberal
b) feminist = atheist, dunno why but from what I’ve seen a lot of people seem to think the two go hand-in-hand
c) feminist = female

not necessarily true.
I follow feminists who are pro-life, feminists who are very religious, and feminists who happen to be male. You can be any gender, any orientation, any religion, any political ideology, and still be against sexual assault and domestic violence, think that women are capable of the same jobs as men, think that they deserve the same pay as men, be against objectifying women, and be against unfair stereotypes, such as that women can’t run governments because they’re too emotional, etc. 
Just a little thing that annoys me.

I agree. mucho. I have extremely Christian friends who are quite feminist, and I don’t doubt their devotion to the movement one bit. 

It makes me sad when I talk to other Christians and they say they’re not feminist because feminists hate men and hate motherhood or because men can’t be feminist, etc… It’s like they feel like they can’t be a part of the movement because of these negative tropes. bleh :’(
