Journalist Sarah Stankorb comes on the show to talk about her book, Disobedient Women, and the deep dive she did on why a series of evangelical women in America began to leave their communities as the internet came into prominence. They discuss patriarchal teachings within cultures like the Quiverfull movement, including stories like Vyckie Garrison&rsquo;s, who was pressured into having repeated pregnancies that defied her doctors and put her life at risk.They also dive into figures like Bill Gothard, who built the IBLP curricula and created a system of mini-cults across the country, the many stories of sexual abuse that were covered up by various religious organizations, and how online communities helped women share stories, band together, and begin to speak out. Plus: how figures like Doug Wilson helped push Christian nationalism from the fringes into the political mainstream.<a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21345667/stay-at-home-daughters-christian-patriarchy/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21345667/stay-at-home-daughters-christian-patriarchy/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw1wI8fBzGvq8_ct17iQlDdM"></a> SOURCES:<a href="https://sarahstankorb.com/disobedient-women" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sarahstankorb.com/disobedient-women&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw0ZLnrsyhytlM1LYWLVtePF"></a> <a href="https://sarahstankorb.com/disobedient-women" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sarahstankorb.com/disobedient-women&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw0ZLnrsyhytlM1LYWLVtePF">Disobedient Women</a> <a href="https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a64637668/tradwives-escaping-patriarchy-social-media-interview-2025/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a64637668/tradwives-escaping-patriarchy-social-media-interview-2025/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw0W7prGOVeqWH96QbSIlg2L">Elle</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-southern-baptist-church-ignored-its-abuse-crisis-she-exposed-it/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-southern-baptist-church-ignored-its-abuse-crisis-she-exposed-it/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw2RrAQv9OZvyRZ1TPqAWQMG">Vice</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/inside-the-church-that-preaches-wives-need-to-be-led-with-a-firm-hand/#:~:text=Wilson%20cast%20their%20sexual%20interactions,on%20a%20Haitian%20mission%20trip." data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.vice.com/en/article/inside-the-church-that-preaches-wives-need-to-be-led-with-a-firm-hand/%23:~:text%3DWilson%2520cast%2520their%2520sexual%2520interactions,on%2520a%2520Haitian%2520mission%2520trip.&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw2KZjRuniUcz_q1sx8hp-qK">Vice</a> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/06/03/feature/the-crusading-bloggers-exposing-sexual-assault-in-protestant-churches/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/06/03/feature/the-crusading-bloggers-exposing-sexual-assault-in-protestant-churches/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw1gIo4FddgkEgalCf4shkIV">Washtington Post</a> <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a26026217/sexual-abstinence-joshua-harris-purity-movement-scam/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a26026217/sexual-abstinence-joshua-harris-purity-movement-scam/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw2zY6_EqcH4MmD-f26Zn2D9">Cosmopolitan</a> <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21345667/stay-at-home-daughters-christian-patriarchy/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21345667/stay-at-home-daughters-christian-patriarchy/&source=gmail&ust=1758758209599000&usg=AOvVaw1wI8fBzGvq8_ct17iQlDdM">Marie Claire</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
