They don't always go together. But I find they usually do.
I also find that if someone is a flat earther, they're often a Christian also. That doesn't mean I can argue against Christianity by arguing against flat earth. So, yeah, good idea to treat each idea separately.
Secularism does not necessarily indicate feminism. Secularism doesn't even indicate atheism. A secularist wants a society where religion is not an issue. Secularism supports the advancement of peoples despite their religion.
For instance, if a Muslim society was bigoted against Christians in it's laws and practices, becoming secular may entail repeal of these laws or change in these practices. Even Christians can benefit from secularism. Because secularism says: "I don't care if this person is a Christian, atheist, Jew, etc." They are all equal members of society. Most atheists are secularists. Secularists isn't atheism's anwer to theocracy. It's the abolishment of theocracy altogether.
Quote:And I will stand by my assertion that many feminists believe single motherhood is better than "being tied down to a man".
Feminism isn't one monolithic thing. There is disagreement among feminists concerning a plentitude of things. Most feminists don't hate men. They simply see society as being arranged around men, and they'd like to change that. There are myriad approaches to this problem.
Traditional marital relationships, and women's place in them, is important to many feminists. If you took the time to study the opinions of your detractors you'd see that most wouldn't prefer women be single. It's what they see as vestiges of a patriarchal order that they'd like to see abolished.

Oh, what the hell. From the left's bible, Slate:

Ummm... did you just read the headline and not the article? The article wasn't an endorsement of single motherhood. It was a description about how, nowadays, single motherhood is a much more viable choice.
