This week Lurie and Rachel discuss gender essentialism as it's understood from both an Evangelical and Catholic perspective. They then discuss aspects they find the most problematic and offer some ideas about what a better theology would be. This week's episode runs through gender norms, the science of gender and sex, how gender essentialism harms women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights.
A book we mention this week is Eli Finkle's The All Or Nothing Marriage. Here's a link to purchase from our favorite local bookstore: https://www.brooklinebooksmith.com/book/9781101984345
