This mornings introduction comes courtesy of a jf12, a commentator at Dalrock’s place: if fits into a complaint around the ladysphere that men have lost their mojo and are checking out. And it fits nicely into the passage today and the theme — that women run religion is a direct attack on your soul.

Women who make more money than their spouses (this includes same gender, but mostly men of course) are significantly more likely to report relationship unhappiness and to file for divorce. The uptick really starts at about 40%, but it is safe to say that whenever a woman is making more than 50% of the couple’s income then she has to watch her behavior much more carefully. Because women not-in-love will naturally be contemptuous of a man in-love, the previous (now dead and gone) culture’s socioeconomic design kept her humbled by her objective need for her husband. But now, she will remain out of love, and if she isn’t conscientiously biting her tongue, her “usual” (lol at myself) internal controls, based on her objective needs, which ought to have modulated her controlling and contemptuous behaviors, will no longer be effective in her. And she will blame him for her behavior, automatically, even if she consciously knows it’s not his fault.

This affects the church. As women have moved into positions of power, they treat those who they see as their inferiors — badly, harshly. (Yes, NAWALT, but shorting the shares of a company with a female CEO is generally a smart move. Consider Telecom in NZ, or HP and GM in the USA).

The issue is that the woman does not understand that she has to restrain her instincts. She’s akin to the Riot Girlzzz hitting men — as alluded to yesterday — when they counter demonstrate, not realizing that it would take but one punch to lay them out, or (more accurately) that the reason the guy will not hit them is that he is fully aware he will be forcibly incarcerated, with the full force of the (male) law, for this female “freedom” only occurs if the state suppresses male instincts.

Men learn not to fight at school. Because of one punch: boys — at a very young age — can do each other tremendous damage and thus spend a fair amount of time playing by the rules. It’s protective, not a patriarchy.

And the Lord himself had some things to say about female heresiarch.

Revelation 2:18-29

¹⁸“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze:

¹⁹“I know your works — your love, faith, service, and patient endurance. I know that your last works are greater than the first. ²⁰But I have this against you: you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice fornication and to eat food sacrificed to idols. ²¹I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her fornication. ²²Beware, I am throwing her on a bed, and those who commit adultery with her I am throwing into great distress, unless they repent of her doings; ²³and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve. ²⁴But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden; ²⁵only hold fast to what you have until I come. ²⁶To everyone who conquers and continues to do my works to the end,

I will give authority over the nations; ²⁷to rule them with an iron rod,as when clay pots are shattered —

²⁸even as I also received authority from my Father. To the one who conquers I will also give the morning star. ²⁹Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

One of the things that feminist Christianity becomes very quickly is not Christianity at all.

But even if people are saying the correct things, the contempt can drive people from the church. Consider this.

The second point is that I’m no longer interested in being a devout overly zealous evangelical Christian. In fact I’m completely disgusted by the notion of being involved in a church at any capacity at this point in my life. This is all apart of my red pill awakening/processing. So I’m not really sure I ever have a chance with Christian women right now as I’m trying to figure out if I want to be a Christian.

This might sound trite, but what you’re really doing is walking away from, and being led out of, Churchianity. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on Christ.

There is a risk within the manosphere that people will start worshipping that and not God, falling into a mirror error of the feminists, where ideology triumphs over common sense. But the bigger danger is that the contempt that women express when the consider themselves without discipline is observed… and the men drift. They do not want to be in a place where they are damned for breathing, thank you very much. It’s easier to just play Xbox, but not as enriching.

Because the deep and profound Irony is that a male led church is seen, by women, as something beautiful. I’ve seen female led churches…. and there is always a stench of politics there. The beauty is diminished. And the congregation dies — to quote a church for men — aiming at pastors.

If you want your church to grow, men are more strategic. Studies have shown a clear statistical link between church growth and the enthusiastic participation of laymen. The more men a church has, the more likely it is to be growing. Meanwhile a surplus of female participants is associated with church decline.

If you want to change society, men are more strategic. Men are much more likely to commit crimes, die violently, be addicted and go to jail. If we want to help men avoid these pathologies, the two best ways are: 1) get them married; and 2) get them into church, according to a study from the Heritage Foundation. Changed men change society.

If you want to change families, men are more strategic. One study found that when Dad was devout his children were more likely to remain lifelong churchgoers. Fathers have more influence on their children’s faith walk than mothers do, according to a survey from LifeWay Research. And when men begin following Jesus, many domestic problems begin to disappear.

Women are beloved by our Lord, and of equal moral value, and equal moral agency. But we are a species with two complementary genders. Let the feminists pretend this is not. We should not be of this culture during the fin de siecle. Instead we should return to Biblical principles. Men leading. Women silent in church.

Let the feminists screech and the Churchians cringe, but both will end. Christ owns the church, he will preserve it. And we should choose Christ over the politics and ideologies of this world.
