Summary
Raised in a conservative, fundamentalist Christian environment, Monte Mader later publicly deconstructed those beliefs and now focuses on challenging dogma and exploring cultural and historical topics. Her home life was filled with being forced to memorize Bible verses or risk extreme corporal punishment. Her mom left the family of 6 children early in Monte’s childhood and was replaced by a sadistic stepmother who kept her and her brother in the basement for 2 years along with other harsh punishments.
Even though Monte was being bred to be a housewife with strict gender roles, once her father recognized her off-the-charts intelligence, he quickly switched gears and wanted her to become a Supreme Court Justice to enact and even overturn policy for the agenda of extreme fundamentalist ideology. After a tumultuous engagement that ended in betrayal and disaster, Monte continued to deconstruct when she realized she had been lied to about what the Bible actually says from a Scholastic POV. Now she uses her platform with millions of followers to debate against those who try to use the Bible’s words to harm and oppress others.

| 0:00.0 | The teacher ended up talking to me. It was like a little above my knees because I'm really tall. |
| 0:04.6 | I needed to be careful what I wear. I don't want to make a man stumble. So gross. I'm nine years old. Didn't say exactly this, but I said something to the effect of, why is that my fault? If men are supposed to be leaders, why don't we expect them to lead themselves? And she kicked me out of Sunday school class. I was never allowed to go back. |

| 0:23.9 | The second Sunday, themselves. And she kicked me out of Sunday school class. I was never allowed to go back. And so I started |
| 0:21.8 | going to adult church from then on. The second Sunday in adult church, I hear my first wives submit |
| 0:27.9 | to your husband's sermon. I went home and I was so mad about that sermon. I remember going down to my |
| 0:32.9 | bedroom to change my dress. And I took my Bible and I chucked it across the room. You've promised |
| 0:36.9 | your purity to your |
| 0:37.7 | dad, which is gross. Starting at 12, my dad decided that it was time for me to shave my legs and I had to |
| 0:44.9 | start doing my hair and makeup every single day. It was taught to us like your only purpose on earth is to get |
| 0:50.3 | married, serve your husband, have as many kids as possible. And it is your obligation to stay thin and pretty for your husband. Because if you don't stay thin and pretty for your husband, then it's not his fault if he cheats on you. It was really kind of the ideology. All of that depended on your performance. So my dad changed lanes. Was like, okay, wait, hold up. Time out. We're going to hold on the marriage bit. |
| 1:11.2 | You'll get to that later. |
| 1:12.2 | We are going to get you in the law school. |
| 1:14.0 | We're going to get you to be a constitutional lawyer, get you on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. The path for my life, again, the new path is made for me. I don't get much of a choice in it. he's like, this is what we're going to do. |
| 1:23.7 | We're going to get you into the movement for the cause, |
| 1:25.9 | and we're going to overturn Roe. |
| 1:28.3 | Mine is the only voice. |
