It’s one of the most well known facts in social science that women initiate the vast majority of divorces – around 70% or so depending on the source you look at. It’s a fact I have never heard an evangelical pastor mention. In fact, as one feminist scholar found in her academic research, in evangelical sermons ‘women are framed primarily as receivers of divorce rather than initiators.’ And, while there have been improvements, divorce court and child custody practices still favor women. . . . It’s also worth asking what Blake – and by extension the rest of the evangelical leadership class – are doing to reduce these risks, help men manage them, or to create an environment in which men have a better chance of marital success. The answer is basically nothing. . . . They could tell men, “Get married and we’ve got your back.” But they don’t. Instead, should some man actually get married and any troubles arise, they will almost certainly blame him for it.”
Evangelicals, is there nothing they can't fuck up?
Exactly why I despise evangelicals, they only care about bankrupting our Treasury for Israel and demanding men "man up" and marry the terrible women of today.
One of the worst groups in the right's current coalition.
The support for Israel is fading among the younger ones. That's going to lead to a lot of changes. Nearly all of the shittiest elements of the right are Zionists and get propped up because of that. If they are no longer useful to Zionists, they will likely be left to to rot or potentially reform and improve.
They think the end times are right around the corner. They think, “fuck it, let’s slit America’s throat open and drink the blood.”
It’s the national equivalent of quitting your job, taking out credit card debt, and waiting for Jesus to show up 5 Sundays from now.
Damn, that was right on the money.
