Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin asks why he as a Jew and others who are not Southern Baptists should pay attention to the attack of the Southern Baptist Convention right now on women, LGBTQ people, and others.
His response:
"I believe there is a straight line — from the war on women’s control of their health care, to the smaller but significant war on women’s ability to serve as pastors."
"This is a war the right wing is waging: roll back women’s rights.
Let me widen the lens for you.
If you are looking for the symptoms of incipient fascism in this country, pay attention to the signs: the growth of antisemitism, a parallel growth of misogyny and a powerful growth of anti-LGBTQ hatred. …
Take a look at the hordes who are cheering for former President Trump in the wake of his indictment and arraignment."
"Take a look at those who would dismantle a woman’s right to her body.
Take a look at those who would dismantle a woman’s right to her sacred profession — and would punish those churches that have the sacred audacity to let women serve as pastors.
Last year around 10,000 #women seeking to escape #domesticabuse were turned away from alternative housing (inc. refuges);
given what we know about how domestic abuse can be the first sign of women becoming victims of fatal violence, we are (once again) failing women who find themselves in the proximity of #toxicmasculinity & gender based violence.
yet one more area where #austerity is exposing the vulnerable to fatal consequences!
Mark Wingfield reports that Southern Baptist leaders at the recent SBC meeting diverted attention from the serious problem of sexual abuse within the SBC to women and their unsuitability for ministry. He writes:
"It’s ironic that the way SBC leaders changed the subject away from sexual abuse — where the primary victims are women — is by denigrating women in other ways."
"The big overriding theme of this year’s SBC meeting, the one that made the most headlines, was efforts to put women 'in their place,' which is not the pulpit or any pastoral role.
This didn’t happen on just one agenda item but on multiple items."
And, as he points out, this was not just an initiative of SBC leaders, but was resoundingly supported by SBC delegates to the meeting.
As The Guardian calls for a rethinking of the criminalization of abortion when 1 in 3 UK women will have an abortion in her lifetime, The Guardian states,
"It is hard to see what purpose is served by criminalising women who would be better dealt with by healthcare and other services, especially when vulnerable women – for example, those with coercive partners – are more likely to be affected."
"Most women who want to end a pregnancy already do so long before the legal limits. What criminalisation may do is make women in fraught situations more likely to turn to unregulated suppliers of abortifacients, and more wary of seeking healthcare afterwards. This is one of the reasons that the British Medical Association and many other healthcare associations advocate decriminalisation."
Ya' all know that #SBC thing where #Saddleback and #FernCreek got ousted 'cos they had female pastors? Well, I'm finding it kinda hard to put any energy into being worried about this - since those two churches did NOT back women's choice/abortion rights.
Those two churches should go whine about being ousted elsewhere until they get right with #women on those issues...then we'll back them in their beliefs...
"While white, Hispanic and Asian American women still outlive their Black and Native American counterparts, overall, the mortality trends appear to be going in the wrong direction most starkly for non-college-educated white women. In 2012, The Times reported, researchers found that 'the steepest declines' in life expectancy 'were for white women without a high school diploma'.”
"An excellent new book by Monica Potts, 'The Forgotten Girls: A Memoir of Friendship and Lost Promise in Rural America,' humanizes these bleak statistics."
Grose says she appreciates Potts' book because it offers few "prescriptive" solutions to the problem of steep decline in life expectancy for white women in rural and small-town America. But this is not accurate: Potts is very clear on what causes this problem and how to address it.
As Potts points out, this is a problem quite specific to Republican-voting, right-wing areas of the country dominated by white evangelical culture. It's compounded by lack of sound education (something the Republican party does almost nothing to address), lack of good jobs (something the Republican party ditto), and deep racism that diverts attention from the real system problems immiserating young white women in these parts of the country.
There's also the fatalism inculcated in people by certain kinds of religion which tell people to wait for heaven to solve their problems and tells women to submit to men. Potts writes incisively and repeatedly about this.
There are prescriptions galore in Potts' analysis. It's surprising that Grose does not see them.
Today in Labor History June 15, 1914: Westinghouse strike, Pittsburgh. The Allegheny Congenial Industrial Union (ACIU) struck against Westinghouse. They were demanding union recognition and protesting against the "scientific management" theories of Frederick Taylor. They also wanted an eight-hour day, reinstatement of fired workers, and higher overtime and holiday rates. Women played a major role in the strike. Bridget Kenny organized marches and recruited workers to join the ACIU. She had been employed by Westinghouse but fired in 1913 for selling union benefit tickets on company grounds.
The Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to finalize the expulsion of two churches from the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. for having female pastors.
