This was so interesting. I am glad she sees hope because it’s bleak out here looking in. I’m glad people as insightful as the Pastor are talking about this.
“So a lot of it has to do with how people are seeing God and Jesus in their churches, or, even if they’re not churchgoers and don’t consider themselves particularly religious - they’re still influenced by how God and Jesus are portrayed in popular American culture and politics. Overwhelmingly that depiction is of an authoritarian, hypermasculine, demanding, angry, kingly, white, God/Jesus.”
I can’t even attend church or read the Bible anymore as I am so frustrated with this image of God.
Your book feels like a crucial intervention in understanding the complex dynamics of masculinity and online influence. Thank you for bringing these critical conversations to light.
Excited to read Angela’s book - it’s been at the top of my to-read list. Need to get on it!
