What are some ways that you believe the church has silenced women? 

• The early church in the first century, men and women were seen as equals in their aptitude and assets and they were both able to contribute
• We often misread Paul’s writing as prescriptive at certain time and certain place
• Jesus taught and encouraged women to lead, teach, and prophecy, but the Greco-Roman influence started to shape the culture of the church, not the other way around.
• Scholar and early church leaders believed that women were” deformed men” designed for pleasure or consumption.

Could you unpack how the purity culture movement of the late 80s/early 90s have impacted single millennials, both men and women, and how they approach dating?

• Specifically for women, it has made them the issue and only shown men as sexual beings
• Women tend to self-silence, long before someone else silences them.
• Kait also discusses how this could also bring about shame for men, not just women, when the culture is so flattening.
