Neither is hindering prosecution of child rapists. So certainly no biblical reason Pressler can't be square with the holy zombie on this one.

Patterson doesn't have to repent either because he's just repeating what the bible says.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

Of course, this is all just metaphorical and we can't take any of this literally, right?
