| Summary: | How can feminist theologians limn gender-based racist and sexual violence during COVID-19? In search of an anti-violence feminist theology, this essay critically analyzes (1) the impact of war metaphors for COVID-19 on racialized gender violence, (2) prostitution industries around US bases in Asia as the militarized root of hyper-sexualizing the Asian female body, and (3) the patriarchal church's justification of sexualized anti-Asian gender violence. The essay counters gender-based racist violence by presenting a life-affirming feminist Christian theology that emphasizes beauty in ordinary life and the unity between the body and the spirit, and sexuality and sensuality. |
