On this episode, our guest is Allen Corben, co-chair of NOMAS, the National Organization for Men Against Sexism. Allen also works as the Assistant Registrar of Fuller Theological Seminary, where he received his Master of Arts in Theology. We will be talking with Allen today about his work at NOMAS--what it means to be a pro-feminist, anti-racist, LGBTQ affirmative male ally and how it relates to reproductive rights, pornography/sex trafficking, intersectionality, and how we can integrate religion and our spiritual practices and beliefs in a post-2016 election world.
