What I Believe as a Christian Feminist

"What I believe as a Christian feminist" text overlay on Cathedral of Notre Dame Paris

As a Christian feminist, I believe in a Greater Being, an Ultimate Creator, who I call God, and for whom I use feminine pronouns.

Everybody at the Beach Has a Beach Body

Ignore the sexist marketing of "beach bodies." Take your body to the beach. You have a beach body!

Before Dan and I were engaged, when I still lived in Columbus and worked two jobs, we spent a few hours on Labor Day at Zoombezi Bay water park. Labor Day was the last day of the season, and we were far from the only ones trying to enjoy the water park before it closed. That… [Read More]

Why Myrtle Beach Matters to Me as a Southern Feminist

Myrtle Beach is an affordable family-friendly vacation. So why do so many people call it trashy? #travel

This week, I’m relaxing in a condo in North Myrtle Beach with my parents, my brothers Harry and Jeremy, and my sister-in-law Celia. We’ve only been here a few days, but already, nostalgia has dominated our conversations. While Dan was still here, we took a leisurely drive over to Myrtle Beach. I pointed out all… [Read More]

My Bikini Has Nothing to Do with You

My bikini has nothing to do with you #modesty

This week, I’m in North Myrtle Beach with my parents, brothers, and sister-in-law. Dan was here for the weekend, but he had to return to Duluth. I packed light for the trip. A few sundresses, jeans, a skirt, shorts, and an assortment of tees and tanks. Oh, and three bikinis. Being in the Myrtle Beach area… [Read More]

Feminism 101: Rape Culture

Rape culture is a problem in America. But before we can address it, we need to know exactly what it is. This post explains what is and is NOT rape culture, examples of rape culture, and what we can do about it.

TW: gendered and homophobic slurs, discussion of sexual assault/rape There is seriously SO much confusion about what is (and is not) rape culture. Due to this, some people act like it’s just something feminists made up. Misandry is totally real, y’all. Or not. What rape culture is NOT Rape culture does not mean that feminists think… [Read More]

Feminism 101: An Introduction to Intersectionality

Pink flowers on white marble. Text overlay reads: Intersectional Feminism

Let me be straight with you. I have been trying to write this post for months. I just didn’t know where to begin. As a relatively privileged feminist, I really want to do this topic justice, without attempting to speak for other women. So before I delve into this, I give this humble request to… [Read More]
