  • Episode 62 | Let's Talk About: Passing the Equal Rights Amendment w/ Meghan Tschanz and Allyson McKinney Timm

    What exactly is the Equal Rights Amendment, and why is it important? Well, this episode is going to answer that question! It may come as a shock that the United States does not yet include equal protection for women in its constitution. Though the US has long been purported to be one of the leaders in gender equality, it is actually one of only 28 countries in the world without women included it its constitution, and ranks 51 in gender parity after it's neighbors Canada and Mexico. The ERA is a constitutional amendment that would explicitly bar the government from any form of discrimination on the basis of sex. The Woman Beings sit down with repeat guest Meghan Tschanz (host of the faith and feminism podcast, author of Women Rising) and Allyson McKinney-Timm, a human rights lawyer, advocate, and founder of Justice Revival.

  • Episode 61 | Sondra: A Sexual Assault Survivor of West Valley High

    This episode is going to be heavy, and so we are giving a standard trigger warning for anyone listening. Our interview today depicts a firsthand account of sexual assault, bullying, and harassment. Please feel free to skip this episode, and do whatever you need to take care of yourself.

    In September of 2020 in Cottonwood California, allegations of hazing and sexual assault were reported within the West Valley High School varsity football team. The four plaintiffs, former players on the team, alleged that the varsity football team has a, “longstanding tradition of hazing, bullying, intimidation, harassment and physical assault” enacted on younger players by older players on the team. Allegations included the use of a PVC pipe, for the purpose of jabbing into younger players’ rectal area. The PVC was confirmed as a tool to keep younger players in line. It was ritualistically passed down for many years, and was prominently displayed in the boys locker room. On November 18, 2020 the school district launched an independent investigation into the allegations, and two days later, the head coach of the team, Greg Grendell, and the entire coaching staff resigned. By March of 2021, just four months later, the investigation into the allegations was determined inconclusive due to the lack of cooperation among students and staff. A civil suit was filed in May of 2021. As of today, the Shasta County District Attorney’s office has failed to file any charges.
    The suit claims a long held history of systemic sexual harassment and bullying among coaches and players on the football team. Today, we are going to take the story back to 2003, when a young girl was harassed and assaulted by a football coach and teacher at West Valley High. This episode, you’ll hear from Sondra, whose name and identity have been modified for her protection, and why she decided to come forward to share her story after hearing about the allegations of the four young football players at the same high school she attended 17 years before.
