ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Womanist theology

Womanist theology is like a big puzzle. Imagine you have a box of puzzle pieces and you want to put them together to make a picture. Now, imagine that the puzzle picture is about women, their experiences, and their relationship with God.

But here's the thing: the puzzle pieces don't always fit because many religions and beliefs only talk about men and their experiences. So, womanist theology tries to find and use puzzle pieces that have been left out or forgotten to create a more complete picture that includes women's experiences and perspectives.

Womanist theology is like a special set of glasses that helps people see the picture of God and religion through the eyes of women. It helps people understand that women are an important part of religion and have valuable things to say about their relationship with God.

By using womanist theology, people can have a fuller and more diverse understanding of religion and spirituality, which is important because everyone should be able to see themselves in the picture of God.
