Ep. 112: On Proximity To Power w/ Author Tiffany Bluhm
EQ: What is the role of women in religious communities to call out the patriarchy and fight against injustice in 2021?
Guest: Tiffany Bluhm, author of Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up. She is a sought after speaker, writer, and podcast co-host of the popular podcast Why Tho, a show answering the existential and nonsensical questions we ask ourselves, with author and speaker, Ashley Abercrombie. More information can be found at her website.
In this episode we discuss the role of conservatism that dominates conversations about gender equality, especially in religious spaces. The role of women (specifically in Christian contexts) in enabling the patriarchy because of things like “niceness at the expense of being honest” but also the power they have to dismantle misogyny. We cannot wait around for someone to “give women permission.” Instead we need to examine our proximity to power and do something with it.

👎🏻Texas for passing their law essentially banning abortions and denying women access to their Health Care
