God Forbid: Why We're Better off Without the Falwell Christian Empire
At its height, the Falwell family was a theocratic machine, so influential that their endorsement could make or break a presidential candidate. They'd hoard billions from collection plates, corrupt business practices, and various enterprises and funnel those funds into building a vast Christian empire. They had influence, wealth, and a voice that reached the masses. But they were sloppy and bigoted, and they loved their vice. In the end, all it took to bring them down was a single Miami pool boy with a story to tell. It's all chronicled in the recently released Hulu documentary 'God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty.' In 2012, Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife Becki were staying at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, where 20-year-old Giancarlo (pronounced 'jon-car-low') Granda worked as a pool attendant. He had been flirting with a group of girls when he looked back to see a middle-aged woman filming him with her phone. She reportedly told him, 'Don't bother with the young ones. They don't know what they're doing.'They struck up a conversation, and he agreed to meet her at another hotel for sex. She said that there was one caveat: Her husband wanted to watch. Her husband just happened to be the son of one of the most popular televangelists in the nation--and also a cuck, who jacked off in a dark corner while Giancarlo had sex with his wife.
Blood Tapestry: The Women of Gilead in 'The Handmaid's Tale
History is filled with the forgotten accounts of great women. Since the beginning of time, men have stolen their ideas, demeaned their intelligence, and built statues in their own image. Gilead excelled at this practice. Serena Joy Waterford, their philosophical founder, wasn't mentioned in any records after the fall of the regime. Historians speculated that her name might have been a parodical pseudonym, created by June when she made the audio cassettes recording her experiences as a handmaid. It was the same with Aunt Lydia, a formidable political figure, credited as a founding aunt. Her picture hung in the back of every classroom. By the time the regime had fallen, and the world had moved on, there was very little proof of her existence. Historians knew the names of the Sons of Jacob and powerful commanders. But women's records were purged, burned in an effort to erase the crimes of men. There's no way of knowing how many stories have faded, what those women's lives were like, or what they might have accomplished. They could have lit the first fire and invented the wheel, the bow and arrow, and the sword. Perhaps they created the first spyglass or ship sail. If the legacies of women like Lydia and Serena can be destroyed, anything is possible. It's time women were given the credit they deserve. Let's right countless wrongs, restore dignity and justice, and delve into the bloody tapestry of female life in Gilead.
