I genuinely don’t understand the conservative male outrage about Taylor Swift. I mean, I get the misogyny piece, but am I missing something else? She doesn’t really check any of their usual boxes for criticism (lyrics, sexualized performances, showing too much skin, etc…)

I’m in the “hate April Fool’s Day” camp. It’s just not funny to abuse the trust of people you love. That said, the 4th graders at our kids’ school all decided to “wear pink and not tell the teachers” as their April Fool’s joke and I’m here for it. So cute.

If you are an adult male and you find a “little girl in a miniskirt” to be sexual temptation, the girl isn’t the problem.

Little girls in mini-skirts in church parking lots? Here's Josh Howerton, telling the men in their congregations that if they see such a little girl, "run, Forrest, run--you are no match for that enemy." Because apparently little girls are tempting. And they're your enemy.

If your response to a pregnant, unmarried girl or woman is to shame her and withhold love and grace, it’s time to stop calling yourself pro-life. If you refuse to support her (in ways that you can support her and her child), it’s time to stop calling yourself pro-life.

Here’s the thing, I LOVE a good joke. I make them, I laugh at them. I enjoy lots of stand up. A pastor joking from the pulpit about a sacred covenant & physical relationship designed for oneness & intimacy & reducing a man to a place holder & a woman to a sex toy isn’t funny.

@brent_waggoner I’ve always wanted to be with my friends & their kids, but as friends started having kids, their assumption that I wouldn’t want to hang around because I didn’t have kids was the thing that created distance. I worked so hard to let my friends know that I loved being with them.
