[Michele Bachmann says she's not a feminist, but she is comfortable being called an evangelical feminist. What does the term mean, exactly? And how does it reflect her conservative agenda? Do you think its blatant religious bias has a place in politics--or does it scare the bejesus out of you? Kathryn Montalbano at The Reveler translates the term and how it relates to Bachmann.--Mona]
She writes:
So far she’s successfully appealed to: A.) fiscal conservatives via her lambast of Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus plan and her commitment to lowering the federal debt, and B.) (social) religious conservatives via directly quoting the Bible, supporting the end of legal abortion and asserting that same-sex marriage should be abolished. The ways in which her evangelical and female identities might collude with her political agenda have begun to surface in the media.
