Abuse is a function not an aberration of patriarchal systems. It doesn't always take the form we commonly associate it with but it will take whatever form necessary to structure/maintain power for (certain) men.
There's a reason why the Catholic Church and SBC are at the center of ongoing discourse about church abuse (I mean, their size/influence is another driver). But other denominations are wrestling with the same issues, and it's important for news agencies to explain how/why.

Not to go full Adorno here, but I feel it's part of the issue with contemporary evangelical/non-denominational/Pentecostal Christianity essentially turning a commodity: the amount of Christian AI slop and kitsch on YouTube is the other side of this, and it comes from the same impulse.
There's something just so vulgar about modern evangelical megachurches.

At some level, I understand that Pat McAfee, Clay Travis and Dave Portnoy are all different people, but I steadfastly refuse to tell them apart because that would involve having to don a welder's mask and sit through some White Hot Sports Takes.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

When this all ends, and it will, there can’t be any olive branches extended, especially for ICE. Accountability, punishment, defunding, and ridicule are the only things that need to be on the menu.

White supremacy means excluding African Americans from public universities (funded in part by their own taxes), forcing them to build up their own institutions (with less public support in every way), and then forcing your way into that space as well, so they can't escape Your Important Questions.
WATCH: “Let’s be honest - they’re not showing up on HBCU campuses to debate. They’re showing up to agitate our children and incite a response from us.”
