The Importance of Women Not Mattering Much

Sally Kohn: In Genesis 19, a man offers to let someone stay in his house. She says the next thing he does is beg them not to rape the guests in his home. He then sends out his two daughters so that they can be protected from harm. Kohn: It's important to note here, as with sexual assault today, it's about power. The men are trying to humiliate someone from the outside and exercise power over them.
