Is that white men are exactly the same. Patriarchy is patriarchy. The wording and actions might be slightly different but they are codes for the same thing.

Help Jordan Ride the StartupBus! →
swirlee:
In a couple weeks I’m participating in StartupBus, a startup competition wherein a bunch of strangers board a bus and, in 48 hours, conceive and build a brand new web startup.

Sexy Jesus
I know.
But I realized that lots of people, including me from time to time, do everything we can to make Jesus sexy. We dress him up pretty to take him out with us.
When I look at Luke 15, I start to think that must have been what was happening, why he was so interesting to tax collectors and “sinners”. I mean, why else would they have wanted to hear what he said? He had to be fun, edgy, sexy.

People need to know what is happening before they can help, and the more people that know the better. There could be something you could do, or there could be something someone you know could do. Maybe one of your...
