Christian Women Liberation

A Twitter hashtag about Christian women has revealed some ugly truths about misogyny in the church.

Christian author Sarah Bessey started the thread Tuesday night with the tag #ThingsOnlyChristianWomenHear to highlight issues surrounding male privilege in many Christian communities.

“It was just a conversation I was wanting to have with my followers about something I care about, but it resonated more widely than I expected,” Bessey told The Huffington Post on Thursday.

The conversation, which she said she initiated “on a whim,” quickly amassed hundreds of tweets from women sharing some of the dehumanizing things they’ve heard from others in their Christian communities.

“This hashtag is pulling back the curtain on the everyday lived experiences of women within the Church,” Bessey wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday morning.

As several of the users noted, misogyny is by no means a Christian problem nor a religious one, alone. And the thread didn’t delve extensively into issues of race, class, sexual orientation or other important factors that create imbalances both within Christian communities and in society at large.

But the responses highlighted the high degree of white, male, and Christian privilege that exists in all areas of American society, and which also affect Christian women across the spectrum of backgrounds.

i doubt he's going to be back for long. I got that bullseye right in the crosshairs. Only question here is how long can we toy with the mouse before Rick kills it.

Its sig--told me it is a muzzy..

Surat Al-'Anbyā' (The Prophets)18-22
18 :Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).
19 :To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

I've SEEN what they can do. If you think there's any mercy dripping out of these veins you must have me confused with someone else. They're worse in Africa. And once I suit up there ain't one damned thing nice about me.

I just thought maybe we could jerk this guy around for entertainment purposes. He's trying to jerk us around.
