"What are you reading?" Who cares. It's how I'm reading that matters. I'm uncovering relationships between form and content you can't even imagine

As a nineteenth-century literary historian, I find it unfathomable—not only that history is forgotten so easily by those who claim to love it—but that we’re once again entertaining questions settled over a century ago. Presentism at its finest from the manosphere. @LeahLibresco is once again spot-on.

Also, the comments section here is certainly...something. Newsflash: there have long been Christian feminists—both for and against suffrage even. Women don’t all think alike because they (hold on a second)....they reason about complex and timely questions in thoughtful ways!

Sarah Grimké argued from Scripture that women’s moral accountability before God required public participation. Louisa May Alcott registered to vote as soon as she was able. They were both Christian feminists among an array of others long before today.

Christians debated this point already. And then they settled it in the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The debate is over.

Women are moral agents with a stake in public life. The real question now isn’t whether women should vote: it’s how we better support men and women alike as citizens. Why not begin there? Why not begin with Christian kinship rather than division?

That's what Christian feminism calls for.

the English major is so important now with the rise of ChatGPT. yes, the humanities are in decline; they’re seen as less useful than STEM, but with the rise of AI, we need people thinking about humanity.

what is the human? what makes us human? what could be more important?
