I would BET that if the majority of women really knew the difference between comp theory (opinions, supposed implications, presuppositions, assumtions etc) and biblical facts and proofs, that they would fall off the comp wagon like flies
I truly believe there are very few women who are actually on the comp wagon, even amongst those living in comp marriages and attending comp churches. I have never actually heard a woman ever argue the comp point of view – it is always men. Well, that isn’t exactly true. I read a book called “Does Christianity Squash Women?” where the author, Rebecca Jones, kind of straddled the fence. She supports literal readings of the biblical texts (including no women in the pulpit and all the head covering nonsense), but she still argues for egalitarian marriages, the reality and application of giftedness by women, and strong female leaders in ministry (as long as they don’t exceed the scriptural boundaries).
But that is about it. Other than her, I have not read a single female author or heard a single female speaker or interacted with a single online contributor who toed the strict complimentarian line.
