Bible Thumping Chauvinists

Turns out, its rather easy to see where the roots of thousands of years of oppression were originated.

2 CORINTHIANS 11:3 AND 1 TIMOTHY 2:11-14
“LET A WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBMISSION, AND I DO NOT PERMIT A WOMAN TO TEACH OR TO HAVE AUTHORITY OVER A MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE. FOR ADAM WAS FORMED FIRST, AND THEN EVE, AND ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED FELL INTO TRANSGRESSION”

1 CORINTHIANS 14:34-35.
“LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENT IN THE CHURCH, FOR THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK, BUT TO BE IN SUBMISSION, AS THE LAW ALSO SAYS. IF THEY WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING, LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT HOME, FOR IT IS SHAMEFUL FOR A WOMEN TO SPEAK IN CHURCH”.

COLOSSIANS 3:18
"WIVES, SUBMIT TO YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS, AS IS FIT IN THE LORD."


ECCLESIASTES 25:18, 19 & 33
"AND A MAN WILL CHOOSE... ANY WICKEDNESS, BUT THE WIKEDNESS OF A WOMAN.. SIN BEGAN WITH WOMAN AND THANKS TO HER WE ALL MUST DIE.."

I can see hundreds of men over a span of two thousand years objectifying and repressing his possession, his wife(s) and daughters with these scriptures on his lips. Oh and guess what? It doesnt really matter because we aren't that valuable anyway.

Lot loved his daughters. BUT his quiet time was much more important...

The men of Sodom gathered around Lot's house, and asked that he bring his two guests out so that the men can "know" them (AKA they were being disruptive and rowdy). Lot offers his two virgin daughters to be raped: He says to the feisty visitors GENESIS 19:8: "I HAVE TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN MAN; LET ME, I PRAY YOU, BRING THEM OUT TO YOU, AND DO YE UNTO THEM AS IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES."

Im out of wine so repeatedly rape my innocent little girls to your hearts desire! Yet, even after this despicable act, Lot is still regarded as an honorable man.

Thats just the beginning. Look into it. And do me a favor- please DON'T look me in the eyes and tell me you are a religious feminist. There isn't such a thing- it simply cannot exist. Such scenarios remind me of a Auschwitz survivor cozying up to Hitler and admiring his public speaking skills. Its offensive, distasteful, and that kind of denial borders on psychosis.

How can you possibly associate, nay, even be part of, an institution that propagates so much hate?
