Sara and Dr. Gladden discuss the unique challenges women face when breaking free from societal norms and the vital role of community support in driving personal transformation. You'll learn why courageous conversations and empathy in relationships are the true foundation of a long, fulfilling life. By shifting the focus from mere survival to the quality of our social bonds, this episode provides a blueprint for those seeking to align their true selves with their health goals.

Join Alison and TL;DR as we look at the epistemology of feminism. The document, an excerpt from Sylvia Walby's Theorizing Patriarchy (1990), critiques feminist epistemologies—contrasting feminist empiricism (which corrects patriarchal biases in mainstream social science using conventional methods) with feminist standpoint theory (which prioritizes women's subjective experiences and qualitative approaches over abstract, male-constructed "objective" knowledge)—while favoring a realist epistemology to uncover underlying social structures; it then defines patriarchy as a system of social structures and practices (rejecting biological determinism or generational hierarchies) in which men dominate, oppress, and exploit women through six relatively autonomous, interlocking structures: the patriarchal mode of production in the household, patriarchal relations in paid work, the state, male violence, sexuality, and cultural institutions, allowing analysis of gender inequality's variations alongside capitalism and racism without reductionism or relativism.

What if your burnout isn't a personal failure — it's a system doing exactly what it was designed to do? In this episode, Lauren unpacks how patriarchy and capitalism condition women to over-function, under-rest, and tie their worth to productivity. She explores what a matriarchal value system would actually look like — not female domination, but a world where care, community, and emotional intelligence are treated as foundations, not afterthoughts.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Sarah Posner sits down with New York Magazine senior writer Sarah Jones to unpack the accelerating assault on transgender rights in Kansas and beyond. They trace how a new Kansas law retroactively invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses fits into a broader, decades-long Christian right strategy—one that cloaks theological convictions in the language of “common sense” and “biology.” From spiritual warfare rhetoric in statehouses to Supreme Court signals about religious motivation, Posner and Jones explore how anti-trans legislation operates as both a wedge issue and a cornerstone of a hierarchical gender ideology rooted in patriarchy, biblical literalism, and political calculation. They connect these state-level efforts to federal actions under Trump—from executive orders to agency guidance on bathroom bans—and examine how figures like Pete Hegseth and his mentor Doug Wilson frame masculinity, authority, and power. The conversation widens to consider how anti-trans politics intersects with abortion criminalization, punitive theology, and the rise of pronatalism across MAGA and NatCon spaces. They analyze the confirmation hearing of Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, whose blend of anti–birth control rhetoric, “sacred fertility” language, and pseudoscientific wellness ideology has sparked backlash—even from Christian right influencers like Erick Erickson, who denounced her as dabbling in witchcraft. Posner and Jones probe the uneasy coalition between evangelical patriarchy and MAHA-style new age conspiracism, asking whether this radicalized right-wing alignment can outlast Trump—or simply mutate into something more extreme. The episode closes with Posner's Anti-Doom segment, highlighting federal judges—some Trump-appointed—who are forcefully pushing back against unlawful immigration enforcement, reminding listeners that the constitutional order still has defenders. Sarah Jones is an award-winning senior writer for New York Magazine, where she covers religion and national politics. She serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine, and was previously a staff writer for The New Republic. Her first book, Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass, is available now from Avid Reader Press.

CNN is re-airing their special on the rise of Christian nationalism — and I'm re-releasing this conversation with Tia Levings because it is more relevant now than when it first aired. Tia will be featured in the CNN special, and her book A Well-Trained Wife went viral on YouTube after this episode first dropped (with "wife spanking" landing in the top four search terms — yes, really).

Her work has been featured in Teen Vogue, Salon, Huffington Post, Newsweek, and the Amazon docu-series Shiny Happy People. In this conversation, we go deep on: What "quiverfull" ideology really is — and how it connects to the tradwife movement today Christian domestic discipline (aka non-consensual BDSM in church clothes) The "fundy baby voice" — what it is, who's using it, and why it matters politically Why joy is now an act of rebellion against high-control systems How to resist without burning out — and why rest counts as resistance What Tia thinks is actually keeping us safer right now (it might surprise you) Timestamps: 0:00 – Re-intro + why this episode is back 1:00 – Original intro from the Re-Invention Room 3:25 – Tia's story begins: mainstream Christianity to fundamentalism 7:31 – What "quiverfull" really means 10:16 – "Hitting me was no longer taboo.

Men are praised for feminism while women are torn down. Men believe men and automatically think women are lying even though they know what their gender is capable of. Men will always stick up for their bro's, even over the woman they are supposed to love. Women are allowed to use their bodies for men's enjoyment but if for anything else there is outrage.

In the first episode of a podcast series focused on six books about the scientific workplace, Cordelia Fine tells Holly Newson why she wrote Patriarchy, Inc: What we Get Wrong About Gender Equality and Why Men Still Win at Work.Fine, a psychologist and workplace gender-equity researcher at the University of Melbourne, Australia, offers a blueprint for a fairer society that does not single out women as “a problem to be fixed.​​​​​”Describing the gender pay gap as largely a “motherhood pay gap,” she outlines how employers can support staff who return to work after a career break, without fostering resentment among colleagues. She also explains why many workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including unconscious bias training, are ineffective and can sometimes be offensive to the groups they aim to support.Fine also draws on historical examples of women being pushed out when men enter professions in larger numbers, and the effect this can have on the workplace culture.

In this solo episode, I'm unpacking the silence, the rage, and the tension showing up in conversations around the Epstein files and patriarchy. The idea came to me after I got a thinly veiled death threat in my DM's a couple of weeks ago (you can scroll through the carousel of memes I posted in the link below to see it). I'm exploring what's underneath the harassment, the absence/silence of men in certain spaces, and why shame is such a powerful, and often invisible, force in all of it. I also want to remind you that I'm on Substack! It's not perfect over there, but I decided to start before I was ready. You can check out some of my writing and subscribe HERE. No paywall as of now, but that may change later as I write more. I have no plans to put the podcast behind a paywall though!  What you'll hear in this solo episode:  When systems are exposed, identities feel threatened and shame gets activated. The difference between and shame and guilt, and how it's organized by gender Shame shows up as silence, defensiveness, or aggression. Patriarchy shames everyone, it just looks different for men and women. Questions you can ask the men in your life to start having important conversations with them.  Accountability requires learning how to feel shame without collapsing or lashing out. This isn't about defending men or attacking them. It's about understanding the emotional dynamics at play. Because if we don't name the shame woven into our culture, we'll keep reacting to surface behavior instead of addressing the root.

Have you ever wondered why women's stories keep disappearing from history—and what that means for our lives today?In this episode of The Art of Badassery podcast, I talk with two-time New York Times bestselling author and sociologist Anna Malaika Tubbs about her book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us and how patriarchy was intentionally designed into the United States' founding structures to keep power with white elite men through rights like land ownership and voting. Anna shares how her global, nomadic upbringing shaped her belief that change is possible, and she opens up about personal hardships, including losing her mother at 29 and facing sexism, racism, and ageism in the spotlight as her husband rose in politics. We discuss how American history is a constant tug-of-war between those defending the original social order and those fighting for a real democracy, why Black women have been central to recognizing the system as constructed, why some women still defend patriarchy through proximity to power, and what it looks like to stay spiritually grounded while taking action.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter deep dives on how geo-political environments affect us.  In a time of global conflict, political polarization, and social fragmentation, what psychological forces are shaping our world?In this episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, we explore the psychological roots of patriarchy and authoritarianism — and how fear becomes a powerful organizing force in both individual and collective life.  Gunter examines patriarchy not merely as a social structure, but as a moral economy — a system linking control, safety, and worth. When threat perception rises, attention narrows. Fight-or-flight intensifies. Emotional complexity collapses. Fear becomes weaponized.This episode explores:• How patriarchy operates as a moral economy• The psychology of authoritarianism and narcissistic defenses• How fear narrows cognition and fuels polarization• Loneliness as a public health crisis and its role in social fragmentation• The decline of global democracy and its psychological effects• The erosion of shared reality in modern information environments• Practical strategies for rebuilding psychological resilience as social trust declines and democratic norms weaken, emotional literacy and vulnerability become not weaknesses — but protective capacities.Gunter offers grounded interventions for maintaining psychological freedom in turbulent times:✨ Restoring emotional complexity✨ Rebuilding local trust✨ Practicing cross-community contact✨ Daily habits that strengthen agency✨ Cultivating inner work as ethical groundingWhen fear becomes power, it shapes systems.But resilience begins in the individual psyche.This conversation is not about politics — it is about psychological agency, community repair, and the emotional foundations of democracy.GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.   This week we are sharing our gratitude both globally and in the USA.  Let's start with our listeners from Canada.   We want to thank our listeners in Toronto & Ottawa Ontario, Montreal Quebec, Victoria & Vancouver British Columbia, and Halifax Nova Scotia as you're responsible for getting Canada all the way to #4 on the Global Listeners List!And now for the USA, a special shoutout goes to the city of DeMoines (duh-MOYN) for bringing Iowa to #9 on the USA Top 10 Listeners List!CONGRATULATIONS!!!We thank you so much for your continued support as we appreciate your efforts toward positive social change!  I, DeVonna Prinzi the Co-Exec Producer and our Show-runner Miranda Spigener-Sapon sincerely thank you and ask that you please take the time to like, follow, subscribe, and share as your efforts make a difference to everyone here at Inspire Change with Gunter.We would love to hear your stories of social change!  Please remember If you want to share, you can reach out  to the show directly.

Send a textMy guest this week is Poorna Bell, an award-winning author, journalist, public speaker and former executive editor at the Huff Post. Her sixth book, (and fourth non-fiction book) She Wanted More, came out just last month, and shines a much-needed spotlight on the lives of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, challenging the stagnation narratives that society tries to force upon us.

This week on Timesuck, we dive into the 4B Movement - a radical feminist movement that originated in South Korea and centers on four simple rules: no sex with men, no dating men, no marriage, and no children. Why are some Korean women reacting to by taking such extreme measures? We'll explore how this movement formed, why it's resonated, and how this controversial movement leapt from Korean internet forums all the way to the U.S.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

 In this episode of Straight White American Jesus: The Sunday Interview, Brad Onishi speaks with CNN Chief Investigative Correspondent Pamela Brown about her new documentary examining Christian nationalism, the rise of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), and the growing influence of Idaho pastor Doug Wilson. Brown discusses her viral interview with Wilson, her reporting from Moscow, Idaho, and how Christian Reconstructionist theology is gaining mainstream political visibility. The conversation explores Christian nationalism's connection to classical Christian schools, patriarchal theology, and its alignment with contemporary conservative politics. The documentary also centers the voices of survivors who left CREC-aligned and other Christian nationalist communities. Women share firsthand accounts of spiritual abuse, rigid gender hierarchy, and authoritarian church structures that made leaving extraordinarily difficult. Brown and Onishi examine how movements promising certainty, biblical order, and “traditional values” have expanded in the wake of COVID-19 and cultural polarization. This interview offers critical insight into Christian nationalism, church and state debates, religious extremism, and the future of American democracy.

Every little jab hurts. But you are not alone. Together, we can lift each other up in the small and the big ways until patriarchy silently falls behind us as a relic of the past. We got this!

Maybe the apocalypse isn't what you see in the movies. It's not power grids collapsing, fires burning everywhere, and zombies coming for us all. Instead, it looks like society being okay with abuse and asking us all to move on. In today's episode, Rachel has entered a new level of feminine RAGE. She talks more about the abuse women and children suffer at the hands of men and the micro-aggressions from non abusers that keep us all from holding the bad men accountable. It's time for the men to step up. Rachel's shares hard conversations she's had with her own husband and how you can speak to your partner about what a just and equitable world looks like. If we are going to survive the patriarchy, we need our men to listen. Tune in for an emotional and fiery episode that may be the spark we need.

On this episode of Mutuality Matters: Women and Words, Host Dr. Mimi Haddad interviewed Rev. Dr. Ingrid Faro. Ingrid described her challenging childhood and young married life as one of abuse, both psychologically and physically. Her early church experience was equally difficult, as women were to be seen but not heard. In her family of origins, she felt invisible and unimportant. She was terrified of her mother and had no real relationship with her dad. Ingrid was struggling to figure out who she is and even wondered if it was safe to think her thoughts. She also wanted out of the church because, as Ingrid describes, she so wanted God to be fair, but life didn't seem to be fair.   Ingrid shared how her first husband (a preacher and NT scholar) was unfaithful to her. He was also violent and broke her nose, landing her in the ER, where she told the attending doctors that she had an “accident,” but they were unconvinced. These and other experiences led to her struggle with the question of “theodicy,” whether God is just and good. Ingrid wondered if she could ever really trust God. This led to an exploration of God theologically. She became acquainted with and greatly admires the scholarship of the OT scholar Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel. A passion for the OT was part of her journey.  Her second husband nurtured honest, even blunt communication, or as Brené Brown says, “clarity is kindness.” As Ingrid studied Scripture, she encountered many bold women who henceforward served as her role models! In them she found a sense of release, or as she said, “I didn't know the weight that was on my shoulders until it was lifted off me.” Ingrid began to see God's clear anointing on women which began with the Apostle Paul. Ingrid began to sense a calling to an academic study of Scripture, which gave her pause. She was given opportunities to say what was on her heart but felt conflicted. Then she asked herself, “Can I stand before God and say, ‘I can't.'” She had to distinguish between a fear of people and a fear of God.  Yet the biblical “texts of terror” that appeared to silence women were very limited compared the many, many texts that welcomed their wisdom, voice and leadership. Consider Paul's texts that seem to silence women (1 Cor. 14:34–36, 1 Tim. 2:11–15, Eph. 5:22&FF) compared to the many women Paul celebrates as co-leaders with him in preaching the gospel and leading churches, like those cited in Romans 16. More recently, Ingrid has considered the challenge of abuse in the church one of the most pressing challenges the church must address. She sometimes feels that the church is one of the most abusive places women encounter. Yet this was certainly an issue noted in Genesis 2. Here Ingrid notes the challenge of Bible translation as too often Genesis 2:18 is translated “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” The Hebrew word for “helper,” is ezer, which means “a strong rescue,” as Dave Freedman notes. “Helper” fails to describe the true meaning of ezer.   Ingrid also points to the work of Katharine Bushnell who redeems Eve by observing that she was the first person to have faith and hope in God's promises. She also points to the following authors who have inspired her own scholarship and faith: Karen Swallow Prior, Carol L. Meyers, Edith Deen, Sandra Ritcher, Cynthia Long Westfall, and also biblical models like Abraham and Sarah.    For many years, Ingrid taught OT and has recently published the book, Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation. Ingrid will lead a keynote and workshop at CBE's conference this summer in Chicago, where she will also receive CBE's Lifetime Achievement Award.  Guest Bio:  Bio: Revd. Dr. Ingrid Faro is an ordained minister and currently serves as interim president and professor of Old Testament at Northern Seminary in Chicago. She previously served as dean of academic affairs, dean of theology at the Scandinavian School of Theology, and director of master's programs at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where she also taught Hebrew and Old Testament. She is an international speaker and the author of Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation with Joyce Koo Dalrymple, Demystifying Evil, co-author of Honest Answers, Evil in Genesis, co-author of forthcoming As We Forgive: A Biblical Theology of Forgiveness, as well as articles, chapters, and reviews. Prior to her work in theological education, Ingrid was an entrepreneur and president of an insurance consulting group serving one-thousand agents in thirty-five states for twenty years. Ingrid has two children and four grandchildren.    Related Resources:  Healing from Hierarchy: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/mutuality-healing-from-hierarchy/  Silent No More: Exposing Abuse Among Evangelicals: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/silent-no-more-exposing-abuse-among-evangelicals/  Her Silence Screams: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/her-silence-screams/  When Religion Hurts: How Complementarian Churches Harm Women: https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/when-religion-hurts-how-complementarian-churches-hurt/    0:00 Called to Seminary  01:25 Meet Ingrid Farrow  03:37 From Trauma to Theology  06:25 Studying Evil in Genesis  08:36 Why Theodicy Matters  10:31 Patriarchy and Abuse  16:56 Finding Freedom and Voice  19:31 Leading at Northern Seminary  23:17 What Did I Tell You  26:29 Women in Theology Today  28:21 Chicago Conference Invite  29:23 Reading the Clobber Passages  31:16 Scholars Correcting Exegesis  34:04 Trauma Abuse and the Church  35:37 Genesis Reframing Creation  40:03 Women as Full Image Bearers  42:47 Old Testament Women with Voice  46:29 Key Stories Sarah Hannah Ruth  51:20 Future of Women in Ministry  54:58 Global Impact and Closing Prayer

Is patriarchy biblical, misunderstood, or misused? In this conversation, Kevin and Josh challenge both feminist rejection and reactionary overcorrection, insisting that Scripture defines authority through love, responsibility, and care. True headship looks less like control and more like Christ laying down His life.

Join us for What Stayed, a live Season Two gathering.March 31 · Virtual · Free · Limited spots · konu.org/eventsThere are many leadership assessments in the world. Most measure competencies — skills, behaviors, strengths, and gaps. The Leadership Circle begins from a different starting point. It integrates leadership theory, systems thinking, and adult development into a single model that connects behavior to the structure of mind beneath it.In this episode, Michael Koehler and his colleague Judit Teichert sit down with Bill Adams and Bob Anderson — co-founders of The Leadership Circle, long-time pioneers in leadership development, and authors of Scaling Leadership and Mastering Leadership.This conversation is less an explanation of a model and more a reflection on its evolution. Bill and Bob revisit the foundational distinction between reactive and creative leadership, share personal moments of reckoning with their own patterns, and explore what happens when even creative leadership begins to feel insufficient for the scale of today's adaptive challenges.If reactive leadership is driven by managed anxiety, and creative leadership introduces vision and choice, what comes next?Bill and Bob suggest that the next stage may require something more relational than individual brilliance — a shift toward collective intelligence, deeper self-awareness, and leadership informed not by separateness, but by unity.What You'll Explore in This EpisodeReactive to CreativeHow strengths, when run reactively, become liabilities. Why development begins when we can see our patterns rather than be run by them. And why reactive leadership is less a comfort zone and more managed anxiety.When Growth Hits a CeilingA powerful story of a CEO who unknowingly capped his organization's growth — and what changed when he realized he was up against himself.Adaptive challenges cannot be solved from within the very structure that created them.Scaling LeadershipDrawing on over a million survey comments, Bill and Bob describe the central shift in effective leadership: from leading through individual capability to developing people and building collective capacity.Leadership scales when development becomes shared work.The Next StageBob describes what he calls integral leadership — leadership grounded in the presumption, if not the direct realization, of the inherent unity of all things.If our current paradigm is built on separateness, what might leadership look like if it were grounded in unity instead?This episode does not offer easy answers. It invites deeper questions:How do we lead in the unknown?How do we slow down when urgency tempts us to push harder?What if the future emerges not from force — but from listening?Quotes from This Episode“Strengths run reactively have liabilities.”— Bob Anderson“Reactive leadership isn't a comfort zone. It's managed anxiety.”— Bob Anderson“I am my own project for life. And it's a big project.”— Bill Adams“If we want things to change, I have to do most of the changing.”— Bill Adams“Are we going to clean this up neatly? The deep recesses of racism that have been in our lineage for millennia? Patriarchy, violence, war, exploitation? We're going to clean that up neatly? No. It's going to be a mess.”— Bob Anderson“Integral...

About This EpisodeIn this guest episode I sit down with Professor Marc J. Defant, Professor of Geology and Geochemistry whose work spans the physical sciences and evolutionary psychology.Recently he published a peer-reviewed paper in Sexuality & Culture titled “Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies” - https://rdcu.be/eOkjZThe paper argues that much of modern feminist scholarship is ideology and not grounded in any truth. Professor Defant and I discuss how social constructivism has created confusion about relationships, work, masculinity, and femininity. We explore human evolution, parental investment theory, cross-cultural studies of mate selection preferences, and much more.Listen in to learn how feminism might have broken an old template but has gone too far in denying human nature, why suppressing sex differences actually clarifies them more, the real roots of the pay gap, and what's really going on between men and women today.Get in touch with Professor Marc J.

With the Epstein files and all the atrocities that they hold coming to light, we can no longer be silent and complacent in a world built on patriarchy, pedophilia, and women as second class citizens. In today's episode, Rachel unpacks her own experience diving into the realities of the files. As a mother, as a woman, and as a business owner, she shares stories of people she almost worked with that were in the files, and experiences from when she was young that shaped her. If you are not feeling the rage then you are not listening. Tune in for an episode that will inspire you to look closely at the fabric of the society we live in and know in your heart: it's time to burn it all to the ground.
