The New LAF is Here!
My friend Jennie, who co-founded Ladies Against Feminism 8 years ago, relaunched her site and I’m so excited about it! Its new design is beautiful and you can expect the new LAF to be full of encouraging articles promoting beautiful womanhood. She has enlisted a number of contributors and I think you’ll find the content fresh, varied and always uplifting.
The re-launch party comes complete with giveaways and favors for those who want to blog, tweet, or Facebook about it. Be sure to check the new LAF and enter to win some great prizes!

Oooooooohhhh… I can’t wait!! LAF is my favorite-est site♥
yay! thanks for letting us know!
Ohhh…some parts of that site made me incredibly sad.
The article mocking elderly women for not looking feminine enough? I’m just not sure what place that has in the Body, whether their earthly bodies are failing, and to human eyes “an eyesore,” “unfeminine” or a “jumble of jello.”
And I’m thankful that that’s not the tone towards the elderly that I’ve ever seen on your blog, Kelly.
Painfully, I’ve seen this play out in real life. My grandmother–a life-long missionary and pastor’s wife, and a paragon of a godly woman–went with her husband to a family integrated church (I’m going anonymous to be protective of her dignity). She was mocked and ridiculed for wearing pants to church, to her face and behind her back.
Her reason for wearing pants? It was just too hard for her to pull on her stockings with her advanced arthritis. Especially with the additional energy she had to spend to assist my infirm grandfather with getting his clothes on for church.
I was so thankful when they left that church for a solid and reformed church, that embraced them and honored her as a devoted woman of God, regardless or not of whether she was wearing skirts and “supportive foundations.”
I honor her body that birthed six children. I honor her body that still takes time and energy to nurture her great-grandchildren. I honor her feminine features that are gone because of cancer. I would honor her–and she would still be deserving of honor–if she walked around in spandex, slacks, or a burlap sack, because I know she has used up her body in service of the Lord, her family, and the church.
I hope this isn’t coming out as harsh, but I feel strongly about the honor and deference we should be showing to the elderly in our midst, and don’t feel like the words used in that article should be used to or about the elderly women in our midst. And I am concerned about the harshness that I see in that article and some of the others on that site.
Horray! I love LAF
