Why Does Hollywood Keep Getting Strong Women Wrong?
From the video description:
Why does Hollywood so often portray a strong woman as someone who fights, dominates, and acts like an action hero?
Movies and television are filled with female characters who prove their strength through violence. But does copying traditionally masculine traits truly empower women, or does it ignore the qualities that make women powerful in their own right?
In this episode of Saints & Screens, we compare Hollywood’s version of female strength with characters like Evelyn Abbott in A Quiet Place, whose courage is shown through sacrifice, nurturing, resilience, and protecting her family. We also explore Elder D. Todd Christofferson’s teachings about faith, virtue, kindness, and the distinct strengths women bring to the world.

Jasmin Rappleye, Neal Rappleye, and Stephen Smoot dig into David Calabro’s chapter on herem from From Wilderness to Monarchy (Religious Studies Center) — exploring what the word really means, what the archaeology of Jericho, Ai, and Hazor actually shows, and how Latter-day Saints can honestly face divine violence in scripture.
