There are several things I think are funny about how leftoids always bring this up.
The first one is the most obvious, that they're just accusing Christians of wanting to treat women how mohammandans already do treat women.
The second one is that that book honestly sucks, most people praising it haven't tried to read it. I've read most of it and it's Twilight tier trash. You've heard of historical fiction? This is hysterical fiction.
Third that it accidentally lets the mask slip. They'd spitefully destroy the human species rather than accept that so called women's rights, by which they mean the power to live a parasitic existence free of responsibility, shouldn't exist. They literally think they can hold our very species hostage in exchange for unearned, unjustified, tyrannical privileges.
The attitude behind the book fully justifies the actions of the society within it. And much more besides.
Even for fiction lauded by leftoids it's incredibly lacking in self awareness. In that regard the only comparable piece of fiction I can compare it to is V for Vendetta, written by a whiny child of a man who fully believed that living under Thatcher's government was the height of authoritarianism.
The very core idea of the book is fucking retarded.
If fertile women were to become actually rare in an actual patriarchy, they would become the world's most valuable commodity, along with their coddled children.
Women would be divided into useless infertile thots (used as cumdumsters by proles) and fertile Mothers, coveted by rich elites, locked away in gilded ivory towers and used as a display of their wealth and status. The richest men would preen like peacocks displaying their bountiful women with their many children. Their infertile daughters would spend fortunes on charlatans promising cures for dusty wombs and their high fashion would all be centered around appearing pregnant.
And no man would be allowed to touch another's man fertile woman under penalty of death.
He's a word sorcerer
This is pretty much the back story of the Grayson in David Weber's Honorverse. Women outnumber men, but childbirth kills a lot of women, and a woman who's had three kids is considered a mother of a large family. In that culture, insulting a woman would get you beaten. Hurting a woman can lead to your entire branch of your family being stepped on.
Kiiiiind of.
It was that the genetic modification their colonists underwent to adapt to a planet chockablock with heavy metalloids rendered 80% of male births unviable. That's why they have polygamy. They still even after the war of the first series still have a mostly male military, because the series largely admits that most women can't fight for shit unless they're cyborgs or genetic mutants or both in the case of the protagonist.
Other funny thing about the Grayson culture, they're country cowboy weebs who still conduct duels with katanas.
A fascinating series to say the least.
I was trying to be concise. :P Medieval, tinkerer cowboy weebs. Give them a piece of tech, and in a year, they will have reverse-engineered it, improved it, and streamlined the production process. And then found some way to integrate it into building an even bigger cathedral.
The very reason we didn't give women certain jobs or put them in the draft exentuates this point.
