There’s so much great content in the deconstruction space. One topic I haven’t heard much on is how men are unwinding the patriarchy and complementarianism they’ve learned in evangelical spaces. The practical things they’re doing to not repeat the harmful systems we were once a part of.

It can be easy to tell yourself to choose hope over fear. But fear is not something you choose, it’s there to bring awareness to that which is not right, to what threatens you. It’s in knowledge that fear and wrestling with it where courage and hope is born.

When billionaires talk about masculinity what they’re really talking about is not wanting accountability.

Friends, tell me what your favorite pop culture moments of 2024 were.
Could be a song, a book, a movie, concert, tv show
Could be the whole thing or just a moment.
What made you get in all the feels this year?

The thing about Squid Game is, one of those pink soldiers could take their mask off and reveal they are one of the most famous actors in South Korea and i would never know. Am I missing brilliant cameos? This is what is keeping me up tonight.

Before you get that tattoo, consider:

Is the reference so obscure that you will spend up to ten minutes explaining it to anyone who inquires?

If the answer is YES, then go get that tat baybee

I could solve world hunger or I could pay Scotty Pippen to speculate on how good I am at basketball.

This completely takes away accountability and choice, the first two things we work on when working the dv offenders.
No wonder Evangelicals are supporting rapists and abusers when their leaders are blaming women for men’s bed behaviour in family homes.
James Dobson claims women "want to be hit":

"Why, one may ask, would any woman want to be hit? Because females are just as capable of hatred and anger as males, and a woman can devastate a man by enticing him to strike her. It is a potent weapon."
James Dobson on Domestic Violence: Women “Deliberately Bait” Their Husbands
According to James Dobson, some women are just “begging” to be hit by their husbands.

If you’re quietly affirming, chances are you’ve already started figure your values are no longer in line with your beliefs.
You can only stand on a stage in that kind of conflict for so long before it catches up with you.
Dear secretly affirming pastors,

It’s way past time to stand up and speak out on behalf of your LGBTQ+ siblings.

I know you have a lot to lose, I’ve been through it all, but it’s nothing compared to the queer lives being lost and further marginalized.
