On Modesty and Male Privilege
By: Luke Harms | March 5, 2013
Perhaps instead of focusing on the culturally ambiguous standard of “modest dress” for women, we should worry more about our attitudes toward, and our objectification of, women.

By: Emily Nielsen Jones | December 19, 2012
My hope is to inspire the reader to integrate their faith with a “gender lens” in what I believe is the last frontier of the women’s movement: changing the invisible, deeply entrenched thought patterns which have built up over millennia.
Submission and Aggression
By: Adela Cristea | December 5, 2012
The phone rings twice before she answers, after reaching for it in her purse, “Hello?” She was on the bench behind me in a moderately packed van used as public transportation in Moldova.
