Thank you for your courage standing up to patriarchy and misogyny. You recently wrote about the language used to discredit women’s voices, including words like “strident,” “shrill,” “high octane” and “emotional”. It sounds to me more like Mark Driscoll, John MacArthur, John Piper and others who use fear and anger to frighten and intimidate people. As Beth Moore recently said, “If you want to control us tell us everything is a threat”. In addition to the shrill actors in the world of conservative Christianity we now have high octane figures in far right media and politics who advocate full authoritarian government. God help us!
You are a gift to the body of Christ, thankful for your writing and teaching ministry.
