The “sassy man” of today is a cisgender heterosexual man who weaponizes feminist buzzwords in an effort to assert domination and control over modern women—women who now have the power of autonomy and choice. But why are we in a “sassy man apocalypse”? And how is this phenomena reflective of the changing power dynamics between men and women?

People of color (POC) who live in America (and abroad) are often extremely prejudiced and bigoted towards Black American people. This is especially evident among POC who emigrate to America, and even though they are American by naturalization, they are still just as anti-Black as racist White people are. But why is that?

Sooooooo the Catholic Church has a new pope! Pope Leo XIV (a/k/a Cardinal Robert Prevost) is the first American-born pontiff in history, having been born and raised in Chicago, Illinois (big ups to the Midwest). This historical moment, combined with my own upbringing as a preacher’s kid in a Jamaican household, made me think of the myriad ways that the 3 major Abrahamic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—shape both women’s history and the progression (and regression) of women’s rights, especially here in America. What does Pope Leo XIV’s election mean for American women? How will Abrahamic religions, especially Christianity continue to impact women’s movements in the United States?
