Added Series 3, Episode 9 of The UnShaw Podcast YouTube interview Thou Shalt Not Mansplain? (2025) by Robert Shaw to the Videos category on the Secular Web.
In this nearly 45-minute discussion with returning guests Mark Alsip and Nick Cowan, Kiosk Editorial Review Committee member and Secular Web author Robert Shaw discusses what the Christian Bible says about women. From passages urging silence in church to stories of strong and influential female figures, the texts themselves appear to offer conflicting visions. Are these contradictions evidence of divine intent, cultural baggage, or human misinterpretation? Author Mark Alsip argues that the Bible and its traditional interpretations have long upheld patriarchal control, while Christian Nick Cowan presents the counterpoint that Scripture, when understood properly, elevates women in ways often overlooked. Together they explore whether the Bible truly offers guidance for equality, or whether its ambiguities have fueled centuries of oppression.
