The Privilege of Religious Majorities: Pivoting on Piety The recent church-state case on legislative prayer, is a step backward for those of minority religions. It harkens back to a case where I personally protested. In both cases, the privilege of choosing how sacred to take your sectarian prayer, is a taken-for-granted luxury of the majority. Unfortunately, it seems that the justices forming the majority opinion, could not empathize with religious minorities.

Hey, GOP: Want More SAHM's? Return to Liberal Economic Policies! The tragic irony of GOP rhetoric, is that it misses the relationship between the religious and sentimental yearning they have for the 1950's & 60's ideal of the American family, and the economic policies that supported such families. Instead, they choose to punish women and the poor, while adhering to faith-based circular economic reasoning. I argue for more chutzpah from liberals!

What Constitutes Coerced Participation? The discussion of the Hobby Lobby case is dominated by questions of corporate personhood, & the implied corporate religiosity. Sometimes, the rights of third parties is also invoked. I argue that the key question is what the nature of coerced participation is, and whether it exists in this case.

Outrage Erupts Over Proposed Prostitution Policy by UK Amnesty Int'l Survivors of the inevitable abuse that accompanies prostitution (and the inexorable trafficking) are outraged at UK's Amnesty International's approach to the problem. Wholesale legalization as a "human need" does more for men who have the privilege to buy sex, than for prostituted persons.

No Such Thing as a Board Certified Feminist While those of us privileged enough to truly make work/life choices argue over the definition of "feminist," the rights of all women are being eviscerated.

Tea Party Rage and the Shutdown as Projected Dependency Disparate theories converge when we see the rage of the Tea Party, and the resulting hostage-taking shutdown, as a case of projected dependency. This is what happens when humans - and animals - are treated as natural resources, rather than sentient beings.
