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?
The fact is that many evangelical "Christians" commit a lot of heresies. One of the big ones is turning women into one of their gods, as they no longer are willing to accept women are people who sin, but rather perfect beings who must be accepted as marriage partners by men regardless of how they behave.
Creating an actual environment conducive to marriage would entail returning to proper Christian values such as teaching that sex should be confined to marriages that form an indissolubility bond between a man and a woman.
I guess you could say they put a little too much stock into certain aspects of Mary Magdalene's story.
This perfectly describes why I get pissy, you're completely right, they put women on a pedestal the same way male feminists do. They never treat women as individuals with their own agency so therefore the default tactic is always to blame men. Then people even on this site wonder why men get so fed up and just go "Lol fuck off" to all of it.
You see boomers doing it to, acting like it's purely the fault of men and all men need to do is just grow a spine and go outside. This is what provokes the fuck off response in a lot of guys. It's so damn obvious many older men have no idea how bad young modern women are. I always defer to the gymbros because it's easier to dismiss guys who don't get laid often, if even they're going fuck off and refusing contact with women to a degree you know things are really bad and I'm absolutely sure that gymbros will have more than a few horror stories to tell about women who have tried to date them.
