On
this week’s episode, Ashley and Marcy talk about sacrifice and
suffering and the strong Black women trope that we take on
relationships. The Christian internets have been ablaze with this
trope since Pastor John Gray’s interview with Sister Circle Live
where he disclosed his wife’s suffering throughout their marriage
and that she had experienced more pain as she “birthed him” than
she had during the birth of their children, and before that when
David Mann admitted to cheating and fathering two children outside
of his 30-year marriage. While men and women have cosigned these
testimonies of “repentance” and “transparency,” mixed reactions
online are that this type of rhetoric is dangerous and puts women
in positions to make unfair sacrifices for companionship. Listen to
this real conversation about relationships, and the sacrifice and
emotional labor endured while “birthing” a
man.
