Innersexions: "Built Like an Amazon: Images of Women in the Comic Book World" with Glynnes Pruett, owner of Comic Book Hideout
Glynnes Pruett owns Orange County's Best Comic Book Store (OC Weekly 2013), Comic Book Hideout in Fullerton, CA. In this episode we explore the intersection of sex and art, as we look at images of women in comics throughout history. How do comics reflect pop culture? How can you read American cultural history in Wonder Woman's costume? What's the connection between mutants and the civil rights movement? Blue suits or garter belts? Why don't more women read comics? When men draw women... Cool World, Roger Rabbit... What kind of marketing strategy works best for women entreprenuers in a "boy's club"? Who's the coolest chick in comics? Pornography and Sailor Moon...What women are making waves creating art? Did comics escape the general suckage of the 90s? Speaking of suckage, we even hit on Twilight. and so much more... Check out the Hideout here: https://www.facebook.com/ComicBookHideout |

Click through to youtube to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-gHTOpb5oc Debonee talks with Pastor Phil Shephers, aka the Whiskey Preacher about whether or not queer people should be included in church life. The conversation visits 'black and white thinking' versus 'beyond the grey and into vibrant color thinking', the (alleged) scriptural take on homosexuality, a shout-out to the Baptists, and takes on questions such as 'Does God create gay people?", "What does a radically inclusive church look like?"and the perrenial "What would Jesus do?". Phil is an ordained Disciples of Christ minister, the Co-Pastor of The Eucatastrophe, blogger for Huffington Post and Patheos, Co-CEO of Sogo Media, an Outlaw Theologian, author, public speaker, university lecturer and consultant.
