By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…ments like Azerrad’s were mostly confined to relatively fringe alt-right podcasts. Today, they’ve been so mainstreamed they’re comfortable announcing them on the plenary stage. “America is a gynocracy”—male supremacy Declaring that “America today is a gynocracy,” Azerrad claims that it’s ruled, along with the rest of the West, by a “feminine spirit which is at war with almost all traditional expressions of masculinity.” Furthermore, “what the regi…

Who on Religious Left is “Worth the Ink”?

By Daniel Schultz

…says: The hard-core religious left hasn’t shown the kind of influence, in Washington or out in the country, demonstrated by the more moderate religious progressives who provoked my piece on abortion in healthcare. I know where to find proud religious leftists, as Schultz says. But that doesn’t mean they deserve ink. Dan may want to check his definition of “moderates”: the last I checked, a majority of Americans believed that abortion should be le…

By Chrissy Stroop

…er look at the ways in which he used King in 1957, denigrated the March on Washington, and his deployment of African Americans in his evangelistic rallies in the 1970s and beyond, tells a tale about someone who wasn’t a solid anti-racist, but a man who molded himself to conventions of society in order to preach the gospel. He was a gradualist, not someone who wanted the Civil Rights Movement as we know it. It was an “eventually, but not now” issue…

“Religious Liberty” Catholics Reap What They Sow in Trump

By Patricia Miller

…both Catholic and evangelical—refused to attend the gathering and told the Washington Post that anyone who publicly embraced Trump would be disgraced: For those of us who believe in limited government, the rule of law, flourishing institutions of civil society and traditional Judeo-Christian moral principles, and who believe that our leaders must be persons of integrity and good character, this election is presenting a horrible choice. May God hel…

Christian Militia Arrests and the Price of Violent Rhetoric (Plus: Rachel Maddow Video)

By Lauri Lebo

…iolence. Eugene Robinson has an interesting column on this subject in the Washington Post today: It is dishonest for right-wing commentators to insist on an equivalence that does not exist. The danger of political violence in this country comes overwhelmingly from one direction — the right, not the left. The vitriolic, anti-government hate speech that is spewed on talk radio every day — and, quite regularly, at Tea Party rallies — is calibrated n…

…eye with Rick was the size of his family,” yet another supporter told the Washington Times in January. “We’re Gonna Outnumber Them!” It’s familiar rhetoric to me, after years of covering the Quiverfull movement—a largely Protestant, homeschooling community that believes contraception is anathema to faithful Christianity and that having many children is both the most authentic form of anti-abortion witness and women’s highest calling. Its adherent…

…nions. “No question about it,” Baldwin told me, “the federal government in Washington, DC is out of control.” He likens the situation to colonial times, when he claims pastors in long black robes instigated a revolution against the British monarchy: It [the federal government] is becoming a tyrannical government. With every passing day, their laws and their dictations are becoming more egregious, more unconscionable, more unconstitutional. And unl…

‘Son Worry’ and the Hypocrisy of the ‘Purity’ Movement

By Patricia Miller

…he is most worried about, he said, “Right now, I’d say my sons.” Soon, the Washington Post was reporting in a front page article: “Male fury and fear rises in GOP in defense of Kavanaugh,” as Republican men contemplated the horror of a wave of “false accusers who are biased against them.” There are at least two problems with this narrative. One is that the fear of false sexual assault allegations seems to be wildly overblown. According to a new po…
