| 26 Sep 2018 | Evangelical Christianity's Purity Movement, and its effect on American Women | 00:53:49 | |
Host Laura Zarrow speaks with Linda Kay Klein about Evangelical Christianity's purity movement, and its effect on a generation of American women. In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture, and it carried a dangerous message: girls were potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls and trapped them in a cycle of shame. Linda Kay Klein was one of those girls, today she's the founder of Break Free Together, a program that works to help people release sexual shame and claim their whole selves. Linda is also the author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free.

| 28 May 2021 | Stopping the Systemic Silencing of Women with Gretchen Carlson | 00:51:40 | |
Sexual harassment is effectively an epidemic, experienced by as many as 8/10 women, but reported by only 20%. As much as workplace culture and zero-sum thinking contributes to the problem, its persistence has systemic roots in the forced arbitration agreements and NDAs that keep sexual harassment claims, and the victims themselves silenced and prone to revictimization. In this illuminating discussion, journalist Gretchen Carlson joins Laura to help us understand the danger in these mechanisms, and the steps we can all take to create a safer workplace for everyone.
