“Decriminalization is the most supported solution by sex workers themselves.[14] The decriminalization of sex work is the only legal solution that offers no criminalization of any party involved in the sex work industry and additionally has no restrictions on who can legally participate in sex work. The decriminalization of sex work would not remove any legal penalties condemning human trafficking...

“Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus or Paul say he is rejecting Judaism and starting a new religion. In fact, the term "Christian" doesn't appear at all in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), which chronicle Jesus' spiritual mission; and only later, three times in the rest of the New Testament. The first utterance of the word "Christian" occurred when Paul was preaching in Antioch more than a decade after the crucifixion...

“Why does rape culture exist? As a proudly feminist organisation, we believe that rape culture exists because our society sees women and girls as less important than men and boys. In other words, as less deserving of respect and power (over both their own lives and within society). Sometimes, we also talk about women and girls being 'objectified' or 'hyper-sexualised' from a young age...

“Televangelism (likely a back-formation from televangelist, itself a portmanteau of "television" and "evangelist"), also sometimes called teleministry, is the use of media, specifically radio and television, to preach religion, and most prominently Christianity, though televangelist traditions exist in other religions, and notably Islam. Televangelists are either official or self-proclaimed ministers who devote a large portion of their ministry to television broadcasting...

“Over a hundred Black clergy are joining forces to protest the racially insensitive environment at The Word Network, a Christian T.V. station that sells itself as the world’s largest African-Ameican Religious Network that reaches 93 million homes in the U.S. The network is owned by a white man named Kevin Adell, and pastors claim he has a history of outright racist actions...

“Here’s chapter and verse on a more-or-less comprehensive list of things banned in the Leviticus book of the bible. A decent number of them are punishable by death. Unless you’ve never done any of them (and 54 to 56 are particularly tricky), perhaps it’s time to lay off quoting 18:22 for a while? 1. Burning any yeast or honey in offerings to God (2:11) 2. Failing to include salt in offerings to God (2:13) 3. Eating fat (3:17) 4. Eating blood (3:17) 5...

“A voice type is a group of voices with similar vocal ranges, capable of singing in a similar tessitura, and with similar vocal transition points (passaggi).[1] Voice classification is most strongly associated with European classical music, though it, and the terms it utilizes, are used in other styles of music as well. A singer will choose a repertoire that suits their voice...

“Child abuse (also called child endangerment or child maltreatment) is physical, sexual, and/or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or a caregiver. Child abuse may include any act or failure to act by a parent or a caregiver that results in actual or potential harm to a child and can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools, or communities the child interacts with...

In fact, all of these fourteen possibilities are actual realities of fun for me. “Here are 14 possibilities. Some are based on research; others are just my best guesses that still need to be put to the empirical test. And the criteria apply equally to women and men. 1. You like your single life. 2. Well, that’s not quite true. Actually, if the rest of the world did not think it was oh-so-odd to say so, you’d put it this way: You love your single life. 3. Loneliness isn’t a big issue for you...

“Roots of Barrenness In agrarian societies during the biblical period (1200-600 BCE), bearing children was highly valued and women’s primary role was that of mother. Birthing and raising children, however, were fraught, given the high rate of maternal death in childbirth and of infant mortality; only half of all children born survived to the age of five...
