Brenda Branson replied to the topic Discussion Question: Dr. Odenwald in the forum Week Two: Chapters 9 – 14 1 year, 9 months ago
As a woman that grew up in a patriarchal church and family, I have felt misunderstood, silenced, and oppressed by those who believe women are subservient to men. Men have responded to me with contempt or anger while women have responded with strong disapproval and avoidance. Although I could leave the church with those attitudes, I cannot leave my…[Read more]
