"...many young Catholics...turn to religious podcasts... Rather than the church’s reflection on the sexes’ equal dignity, they’ll often find something more akin to the far right’s misogynistic views" Thank you for this @erikabachiochi https://t.co/tlzrX7QFlr

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. // Viktor E. Frankl

I don’t know where on the political spectrum this opinion falls, but I think the concept of a womb for hire is egregiously exploitative.

9 yo bride. 54 yo groom.

My brother was KIA Afghanistan 2008. This only heightens the sense that his death was pointless.

I recall sitting at a negotiations table on this topic at the CSW meetings - 2008? Under Shariah law, a woman of any age lacks the power to consent.

Insanity. Watch a video of labor & delivery and explain how this makes sense. We as a society are so sheltered from the reality of women’s bodies and experiences

Georgetown Law has told a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams that she must take the test a few days postpartum, with baby in tow.

No early or remote exam since “it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class.”

There was a diverse group of folks gathered at the poll location we chose and all were joyful, respectful and hospitable.

We went in Sisters and we came out Sisters and our ballots didn’t need to look identical for that to be the case.

If you’ve heard the phrase "marital debt," it’s likely from someone on the Internet claiming that a wife is required to provide on-demand sex to her husband on pain of mortal sin, regardless of her desires or feelings. This is in fact, sexual coercion. https://t.co/LwWXahRP4y

“The great majority of the domestic humanitarian work of the Church in the U.S. is directed by and carried out by women,” said @KerryAlys, the first laywoman CEO of @ccharitiesusa.

How do we create a culture of safety for women in the Catholic Church?

[Paul Joseph @pjfahey]

I watched this w/o sound and saw her discomfort and his size/status. She’s not only uncomfortable, she’s in a position of powerlessness while he’s physically wielding power (not letting go and bringing her in for a hug despite her discomfort). Huge gender/power dynamics going on

[FemCatholic @FemCatholic]

According to @WeAreSpringtide 68% of Gen-Z still identify as “at least slightly religious,” however, their ways of expressing faith can look very different from previous generations. FemCatholic spoke to four women about what led to their conversions.
