Why do conservative Christians diminish the scourge of sexual assault?

October 19, 2019 by Randal

The Christian Post recently published my short article “Pepe Le Pew stinks: The sexual violence of Looney Tunes in a #MeToo age.” The article attracted three comments, presumably from Christian conservatives (the primary readership of The Christian Post). Not surprisingly, the comments were all critical of my moral censure of Pepe Le Pew and his […]

The Ethical Principle Behind #NotMyPresident

January 21, 2017 by Randal

Over the last several weeks we’ve all encountered the hashtag #NotMyPresident along with the accompanying sentiment.

But the more sobering fact is that some of the most notable “critiques” of Trump are couched in a subtler form of sexism. And given that subtlety, they […]

November 8, 2015 by Randal

On the evening of December 16th, 2012, 23 year old Jyoti Singh, a young medical intern, went out with a male friend to celebrate the completion of her final exams. The two went out into Delhi and watched the film Life of Pi. On the way home they made the fateful mistake of boarding an […]

Why you should probably sit out the slut walk

May 17, 2011 by Randal

I know what you’re thinking: “What on earth is Randal talking about today?” It all started back in January of this year when a police officer delivering a speech at York University on campus safety made the observation that “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” That politically incorrect advice apparently […]
