I agree with Ben below that there are a variety of plausible worldviews from which you could make decisions about giving to highly effective charities, and that being open to the variety of worldviews within the community is important.
I think both of the charities you’ve suggested are also great—but that doesn’t diminish my excitement for what FEM does. I selected FEM specifically for Valentine’s Day because it’s focused on family planning—but I very well may pick some other organisations that empower and support women in other ways in the future.
