1. Authoritarian Followers...

2. Yikes.

Not only do they walk among us, but they have tremendous leverage. Funny that they’re all so hopped up thinking that we’re taking their freedom. What a crock.

20. JudyM....

I know....It's mind-boggling....

3. Ben Domenech is a co-founder of The Federalist.

Ben Domenech is also married to Meghan (aka Nutmeg) McCain.

Do you suppose she agrees with this article?

NOT!

22. Totally Tunsie....

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed The View with Meghan being out on Maternity Leave.....

[Totally Tunsie]

30. Ditto! She's a waste of air space and broadcast time.

Plus, we get Ana!

4. They're saying it out loud now.

5. In this case, 'a proper reading of scripture...'

... is "Don't. Just don't."

[SergeStorms]

6. Strong women?

Yes, strong women always submit. Who the hell are these doorknobs anyway?

[First Speaker]

7. Joy who...?

[Duncan Grant]

29. (quiet chuckling here)

It was the perfect set-up, wasn’t it?

8. Oddly enough, early Christian women found freedom within the teachings of the new sect...

They held meetings in their homes, some in secrecy, and held suppers where all were treated as equals. They were leaders, too. In the Roman catacombs, among portraits of early bishops, are some women whose names have been changed to the masculine form or effaced.

St Paul was a misogynist, sad to say, and had a huge influence on the development of the church as time went on: I think it was he who told women to submit to their husbands. But note that he came after Jesus, and nowhere in the teachings of Jesus do you find this misogyny.

If the Federalists are such freaking “textualists” and “originalists,” they might start there.

16. Women's equality with men was actually illegal 2000 years ago under Greco-Roman law

Taken in context of 1st Century Grec-Roman law, the "submission" exhortation was a reminder for early Christians to behave within the law, for which they had no power to change or defy. So St. Paul comes off as a misogynist by current standards.

So, his advice for wives to submit to their husbands was fair for its day. What those fundies conveniently omit is that St. Paul also advised husbands to love their wives and not abuse them.

28. IF they were, they really might. Shopping cart belief collection. nt

9. ACB favorite song

[canetoad]

10. Submit with Joy

Is a contradiction in terms used only by spreaders of male supremacy propaganda.

Utter bullshit.

[Upthevibe]

23. canetoad...

You're correct... "Submit with Joy...I swear to God it's so cultish it's frightening!

[Totally Tunsie]

11. This woman cannot be seated on the SC.

What year is this, anyway?

[Upthevibe]

24. Totally Tunsie....

I know...Maybe they'll be enough of them that are COVID positive and sick that they can't convene....

[dixiechiken1]

12. HELL. NO.

Real men aren't afraid of strong women.

[OnDoutside]

13. Still, I wouldn't try that one on my wife !

[Upthevibe]

26. dixiechicken1

OMG! I know! I'm NOT a Christian and I DON'T adhere to the teachings of the Bible! And the best marriages I've seen are the ones that are equal...shocking!

[Vinca]

14. So hubby must have said, "Let's expose all the kids to Covid" and the obedient Amy

dressed them in their future funeral attire and off they went. Hard to imagine this mindset is still alive in this day and age. She's got no business on any court if she's being instructed how to act, what to say and how to rule.

[tanyev]

15. Um...then why isn't Mr. Barrett the Supreme Court nominee?

[Upthevibe]

27. tanyev...

Excellent question!

[crickets]

31. 👆 This.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

17. I want to see the articles about "strong" men "submitting" to their wives.

LOL

Actually, no one should be submitting to anyone in a partnership, but wouldn't it be shocking to see an article about that?

[bluestarone]

18. She's walking from one cult into another!! THEN

Into the Supreme court! WOW just WOW! She has to be STOPPED!

[Upthevibe]

19. bluestarone....

I know. She has to be stopped!

[area51]

21. Amy Looney Barrett should decline the nomination,

as she's "only" a female, and would be taking the spot that a man could have.

[sarcasmo]

25. Handmaids nonsense.
