I cannot “see into their hearts” to know whether any spark of self-awareness resides there, but if it does, these “good” Christian men have certainly not publicly owned up to even the slightest accountability for their complicity.

A Love Letter (and Challenge) to Evangelical Women, ‘For Our Daughters’ Documents Devastating Cost of Christian Patriarchy

Being of voting age in an American presidential election year is messy business. This has always been the case. A two-party system often means choosing the lesser of two evils—deciding which of one’s deeply-held beliefs are nonnegotiables and which can be set aside in favor of “good enough.” Such is the dilemma facing many White evangelical women in America, whose usual guiding principles—anti-abortion, pro-“religious freedom,” anti-immigration—a…
