Internalized Misogyny: When Women Are the Part of the Patriarchy Problem

Last updated on: July 3, 2018 at 12:15 pm By Erin Wathen

Last week, I got to discuss my book with Adam Ericksen of The Raven Foundation. We talked, among other things, about racism, internalized misogyny, and the importance of “calling in vs. calling out.” We also got into how men can contribute to the work of equality—and why they should. Here is an excerpt from our conversation, or scroll on down to watch the whole interview. Adam: So, you are just bringing all of these things to light for me and... Read more

The Edge of Great Change: Why All the Ugliness is Still Good News

Last updated on: July 2, 2018 at 11:33 am By Erin Wathen

I take it for granted sometimes that I can stand up and preach on a Sunday. I get caught up in the week to week of Having Things to Say, and forget that this privilege of voice would never have been extended to me a century ago. Ladies, every one of us—and I do mean every. one. over 18—will (please!) go vote in November in some critically important midterms. One hundred years ago, we were still in a fight about... Read more

Confessions of a White English Major: Top 10 Books You Need to Read This Summer

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:54 am By Erin Wathen

It was an awakening. That moment when I sat down to think through what 10 books I would share in the 10-book challenge (because I take these social media games seriously). Trying to nail down the most formative books of my life wasn’t exactly easy, but a few immediately floated to the top of my awareness. And then a few more that didn’t quite make the list, but that I acknowledged as formative. John Irving. Stephen King. Silas House. Dickens.... Read more

While You Were Sleeping: Kansas City ICE Agent Assaults Attorney, Pregnant Mother and Child Deported

Last updated on: July 3, 2018 at 2:08 pm By Erin Wathen

When I talked to Andrea Comfort Martinez on the phone earlier today, she was waiting in line at CVS to fill her prescription for pain medication. “Wait, I need that paper back,” I heard her tell the pharmacist. “I wrote an affidavit on the back.” Martinez, an immigration attorney here in Kansas City, was injured early this morning. By an ICE agent. While we were sleeping, local immigration authorities deported Kenia, 7-months-pregnant, and her 3-year-old son, Noah. It was 3:30... Read more

A Symphony of Small Things

Last updated on: June 25, 2018 at 3:12 pm By Erin Wathen

Some days, everything on the internet is garbage. Other days, Carpool Karaoke takes you to church. When Paul McCartney is the guest passenger, the second thing happens. It is absolutely worth 20 minutes of your life to watch the whole thing, especially the part around minute 16… They make a surprise appearance at a local bar. As the band starts playing, the curtains open, you get to watch the faces of these people–just chilling in their neighborhood pub–as they realize... Read more

Truth is Stranger Than Fashion: Melania Trump’s Jacket Was No Accident

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 4:54 am By Erin Wathen

First thoughts first: If the Trumps had even a few gay friends, they would never in life have let Melania leave the house in that abomination of a jacket. This is the gospel truth. Clearly, in addition to immigration lawyers, we also need to send some fashion police to the southern borders. Stat. Second — WTActualF? Why did ANY of her handlers let her wear it? Not just out of the house, but into the midst of a humanitarian crisis? Some... Read more

SHARICE DAVIDS: Asylum Laws Written to Protect, Not Persecute

Last updated on: June 19, 2018 at 12:53 pm By Erin Wathen

Guest post by Sharice Davids Candidate for U.S. Congress Every year, thousands of immigrants, asylum seekers and migrants assume great hardships to find safety in America. They choose our country because they see the United States as a land of justice, as a place of safety, and a beacon of hope. Central American countries are facing unprecedented gang violence. The same countries are also dealing with a steep rise in domestic violence against women and children. Yet last week, U.S.... Read more

The Letter of the Law: There is Nothing ‘Biblical’ About Cruelty

Last updated on: June 15, 2018 at 9:43 am By Erin Wathen

When we are tearing the babies from their mothers arms at the border, we have lost who we are. There's nothing biblical about cruelty. It's time for a gut check, a humanity check, and a scripture check. Pick one, or do all three, and then repeat until we remember who we are. Read more
