If this sounds familiar to you, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is part of the same denomination.”

This article made me gasp outloud & was hard for me to read



snip-The conflation of porn with theology confused me, but I knew that whatever I was about to find out, our God said it should be so. Chillingly, I was yet to learn that the most important question anyone can ask when a Christian pastor teaches that women should submit to their husbands is, “What happens if she disagrees or refuses to obey?”



snip-My husband believed Wilson’s teaching held the key to the Christian Golden Age, a shining millennium where Christian ethics and white men rule without resistance or room for anyone else. It goes by several names. Dominion theology. Federalism. Calvinism. New Calvinism. Fundamentalism.



"If this sounds familiar to you, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is part of the same denomination and supports a new Christian Crusade, or Holy War. These ideologies are rising in the podcast “manosphere” and the popular trad-wife movement, which offer a refuge of control for men who feel sidelined by feminism."


snip-"His leather belt hissed as he removed it.

I buried my face in the pillow as he struck me and silently screamed into the feathered down. Like submissive women in a vacuum, I made no sound."

1. My father used to beat me & my sister with a belt when were young

My mothers brothers saw the weals and bruises on my sister's legs.
3 of the 5 of them took action one summer Sunday behind the garage at Grandma's house.
I know that hissed of a belt being pulled out

6. I got belt whipped as a child by both parents, they left marks, would be child abuse today...fun times...

I remember crying as they did it but telling them it didn't hurt (although it did)...

4. Clergy regulated sex life for a long time

Have more children for God, for the Pope. People actually ran their lives on such instructions from on high.

5. They are sick. My father was an abusive psycho that didn't need the church.

It's just window dressing.

7. My very good friend's first husband hit her once

When he left for work, she broke every single record in his extensive collection. When he returned home she told him what she did and promised him that if he ever hit her again she’d wait until he was sleeping, heat a pot with cooking oil, stick a funnel in his ear and fry his brains to death. He moved out the next day. I am told that he never hit another woman.
