But as Western feminism erases God from the scene, there is no standard left—except men. As a result, the Western feminist is forced to find her value in relation to a man. And in so doing, she has accepted a faulty assumption. She has accepted that man is the standard, and thus a woman can never be a full human being until she becomes just like a man. When a man cut his hair short, she wanted to cut her hair short. When a man joined the army, she wanted to join the army. She wanted these things for no other reason than because the “standard” had it.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Yasmin Mogahed" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/yasmin-mogahed/what-we-so-often-forget-is-that-god-has-honored-the-woman-by-giving/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0ea/yasmin-mogahed-1335_feminism_what-we-so-often-forget-is-that-god-has_361102.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0ea/yasmin-mogahed-1335_feminism_what-we-so-often-forget-is-that-god-has_361102.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0ea/yasmin-mogahed-1335_feminism_what-we-so-often-forget-is-that-god-has_361102.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What we so often forget is that God has honored the woman by giving her value in relation to God—not in…” — Yasmin Mogahed", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "I think feminism has always been global.
