While I do certainly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to mock my thread, I would like to clarify that this thread is not about feminism. It's not even really about sexism.
I can only offer my own perspective on Christian humility from the point of view of a woman because that's the only way I've known it. I can only offer it from a proverbs 31 wife because that's the clearest way I can see it.
Christian humility is not about being modest. It's about being subservient. It's not about lowering your haughty sense of self importance, it's about lowering your sense of self worth. Christian humility is about humiliating people (especially young children) into behaving a way someone wants them to. Christian humility is a tool for the strong to make the vulnerable weak, it's a tool for them to keep the weak down, it is a tool for the powerful to control those who've had all sense of agency stripped away from them.
Make jokes about sandwich making if you please, it sucks you're too lazy or too complacent to look up.
