Quick example:
Quote:This doesn’t mean you can’t learn from a woman, or that she is incompetent and can’t think. It means that there is a certain dynamic between maleness and femaleness that when a woman begins to assume an authoritative teaching role in your life the manhood of a man and the womanhood of a woman is compromised.
To paraphrase a point I made about femininity I made earlier today, (coincidentally) I am a woman because I have a va-jay-jay...not because I accept a pre-defined role according to the make-believe character of an archaic book of iron-age fairy tales as interpreted by men so caught up in penis envy that they have to use that book in place of real confidence.
Oh yeah, every time I read something about women in the church (always written by men, because clearly they're the experts) I find myself thinking, "Are you insane?! Have you ever even met a woman?!"
According to the most recent books on "sexual purity" written by the church women are emotional creatures who dutifully please their husband's scarey sexual needs when all they want is hugs. Women are apparently mystified as to why men would even want to have sex. I don't know why the church is terrified of female sexuality, as a guy, it seems like a plus. The church is even wrong about men, saying that they're only interested in sex, which is the complete opposite of what modern psychology shows. Men have the same basic emotional landscape as women, they desire intimacy and empathy just as much, but many have learned to sexualize that drive.
It's like the church is just copy-pasting books from the 50's.
And don't even get me started on church councils made entirely of MEN deciding that the Bible really does say women can't be leaders when that's blatantly false. I end up sounding like a feminist, but, I mean, wow, it's so incredibly stupid.
