    Epilogue: Part 2

    "No matter when a woman leaves, she’s left too early, she’s left too late, after all this time, you’re leaving now? Perhaps things weren’t as bad as you said. You could’ve left but you didn’t. Now you’ve left, you should’ve instead stayed, at least a little longer. Look what you’ve left behind. Look at the manner of your leaving. Look who you’ve deserted. All this leaving is on my mind." This episode contains Part 2 of the Epilogue, the final chapter in No Love in War.

    "There is so much more I could say about all this, but then again, it was nothing but more of the same bombardment. Dominion-seeking man sees woman. Man wants woman.

    "Purity culture was in full swing in conservative evangelical Christian churches, schools and campuses across the United States. None of this was new to me, of course it wasn’t. All this was typical. It was casual. It was mundane." This episode contains Chapter 31 of No Love in War.

    Chapter 30

    Chapter 29

    "Over several long sessions, our professor spoke about the joys of the hetero-marital union, then veered into his true passions, the danger of women’s domination, the importance of home-cooked meals on the table every evening—the family that eats together, lives at peace together—the necessity of children, he argued vehemently against oral contraception, what he called women’s desire to “poison” ourselves with “those pills.”" This episode contains Chapter 29 of No Love in War.

    Chapter 28

    "For while Christian leaders on the national stages quarrelled and set their sights on the reclamation of land they considered theirs by divine right, the men in my life carried on seeking more immediate dominion over me. And not just me, of course not. Close to 800,000 men of the Promise Keepers movement gathered in a mass spectacle in 1997 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to freeze-frame Biblical manhood, to reclaim it, to urge each man to sit down with his wife, to repent of the mistake of allowing her to lead their family and to take charge." This episode contains Chapter 28 of No Love in War.
