Thanks for the welcome.

And yes. That’s the whole thing. They don’t ever have to experience it. They can just talk about it in their sterile, untouchable environments.

There is a huge emotional disconnect between these men and the advice they give women. They have NO empathy and no way of gaining it through living their normal, male life in a male favoring church ensconced in their (false) male favoring doctrine.

We have heard “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” so often. Those words are so much a part of our culture that the fact that they are so profound is nearly lost. And it is completely lost on these men as far as women are concerned. These men would NEVER want done or said to them what they freely and abundantly do and say to women. Never. They’d never stand for it. Yet they hand it out to women because they can. And they continue to do it and increase it because they have gotten away with it for so long. I wish all the women in their churches would wake up and walk out, all at once. I’m not sure anything short of that would get their attention. But I’m not holding my breath.
Those poor women as deceived as the men. But where it raises up men to their benefit, the women are pushed down and oppressed.
