That's why the placement of "autonomy" in the So. Baptist Convention is so very important to the men in this religion. They can basically band together in a sick, dark, somewhat evil brotherhood, sharing the same private lusts, addictions, secrets, and get away with most. They have replaced their need for slaves, with holding women in a similar position of servitude, claiming Biblical authentiity of this mind set and gender specificity.
It feels traumatic to have so much familiarity on the national scale on top of processing traumas from white Christian nationalism in one's community & family. So I'm super thankful for a church that empowers woman pastors & leaders in the Black church tradition. I miss having Madam Kamala Harris as our vice president. And I still display my tshirt, "yes, she can!" for all women. still. If we don't let authoritarianism & patriarchy & misogyny get in the way, then "yes, she can!"

We do not have very many evangelicals at all in New England, and none of this attitude. So all of this feels very, very, bad and abnormal.
Yes and Yes. Very familiar indeed. Frog, meet pot.

And that there are many SBC members in governmental & military positions is no coincidence as to what is happening.
