Be Anything. Do Anyone.
Feminism, Motherhood, and the ERA
It's an episode about motherhood! It's an episode about feminism! It's an episode about feminism and motherhood and all of the fun messages we were taught about being a Good Christian Girl™!
In this episode we get into all the nitty gritty of what it means to identify as a woman in The United States of Evangelical America.
Here are just a few of the things we cover:
-The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
-Concerned Women for America and the work of Phyllis Schlafly (spoiler: she's not in favor of equal rights for women! Not great!)
-The (very few) positive female role models that exist in the Bible (and what was so wrong with Vashti anyway? And Jezebel got a bad rap!)
-SPAGHETTI STRAPS AND THE PROBLEM OF SHOWING TOO MUCH SEXY SHOULDER
-The mixed messages about what it meant to be a woman in Evangelical Christianity
-Passing the Bechdel Test in your own damn IG bio
-How Mothers are treated like garbage in this country. Paid maternity leave and free healthcare for all, plz.
-The church’s insistence on giving women carnations on Mother’s Day. WHY?
-How it’s none of your business if people are going to have a baby or not! (Lookin’ at you, Vanessa Lachey)
-You can be anything and do anyone! You can change your name or your gender! You don’t have to take your husband’s name!
-Motherhood is not the highest and only calling for women. It is a choice and we support your choice to be or not to be a mother. Period.
-Motherhood is a gift and also a pain in the ass. Happy Mother’s Day, call your senators, and support the Equal Rights Amendment. The end.
