Just watched your documentary on netflix. I was very curious about what you’re doing today because you obviously had so much potential change the world! I’m so very happy to see you’re continuing with your own education and continually promoting equality through feminism.

Keep up the great work! You’re an inspiration!

Saw the documentary last week in my Women and Gender class. Amazing. I was insanely thrilled to find out what became of you. You fucking kick ass. Best of luck in everything.

To be honest, I am admittedly dying to know how the other characters in the documentary are doing. I imagine that your pastor nearly keeled over at hearing about your feminist transformation. And COREY! That Corey. I hope you still keep in touch with him.

Hi, I’m watching your documentary right now, but am having trouble getting through it. What I want to know is: Did you end up fucking Corey, or not?

Thanks!

Just saw your documentary on Netflix. I did my time (high school) in Chino Valley, Arizona – very much like your hometown. I went through a similar fight with my faith and youth leaders. I can sympathize with the mess that is teen pregnancy and small town Republicans. It’s a hard battle… good to know you’re still fighting. You’re such an incredible inspiration. THANK YOU for all you’ve done and continue to do! I wish you all the best, and will be reading this blog as frequently as possible.

Saw the documentary yesterday and really enjoyed it and I was curious to see where you ended up. This blog pleases me greatly. Hope you’re still close with your family.

((eyeroll)) Shelby don’t listen to this bitter, jealous person. You are a HERO!

Hello Ms. Knox. If you are interested in privilege, and white privilege especially, read about Molly Secours. She speaks about issues of white privilege and how to address it and work for equality. Here is my article about Secours’ speech at Elon University http://bit.ly/iEtrP5.

Wow, I just found your movie on Netflix and watched it this afternoon. I am from the midwest and Texas is close to my heart and family. I live in Kansas and have had a similar upbringing as yourself, deeply rooted in Southern Baptist and Christian beliefs. However, time, and thank God some parents that weren’t completely fundamentalist, have brought me to be a open minded accepting human being. I am also a feminist and share the same beliefs on equality! I am so refreshed to see an accomplished young woman that I also strive to be someday (I’m 22 myself). I’m going into the Legal profession and hope to use my activist tendancies for a good cause someday. I will definitely be visiting your blog often!

Just perusing your blog. Your “education” story is interesting. Since you imbed your autobiographical description heavily in your Southern Baptist upbringing, I’m curious about a few things (sincerely):

- Do you claim to be a follower of Christ?
- What is your take on the Bible being the authoritative word of God?
- Do you think at some point in your life you could leave Christianity behind (assuming you claim to be a Christian) for the ‘greater’ cause of feminism?

I would really be interested in reading your answers……forgive me if I’ve asked questions that you may have already addressed somewhere in your blog – truly, I was just skimming d/t time constraints. Seriously, these are not “gotcha” questions, I’m not trying to set you up for a anti-feminist diatribe. I’m on somewhat of a quest to gain some knowledge about feminism (as defined) in juxtaposition with Christianity.

take care.
