Women and Church Blog
Recently this hashtag has been hanging out on twitter and getting noticed. Sexism is sexism, even if it's in the name of religion. Please take a moment to hear these voices. Women are being hurt by the church, and it's not okay.
The trolling in #ThingsOnlyChristianWomenHear proves women's voices and truth are so scary that they must be shouted over or dismissed.
