Ashleigh Stratton’s Reviews > A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy > Status Update

How absolutely infuriating to weaponize the Bible to make women submit, in so many unethical and disturbing ways. Oh wait, except that it WAS written & translated by men so of course there is harmful patriarchal rhetoric strewn about. Let’s not forget, man would not be here without women.

Imagine being raped by your husband on your wedding night and then while you sleep whenever he needs it, plus being told your jeans might turn on your two year old so better be modest, and that you should decline any medical care or intervention for your body, or that having children is a blessing and the more the merrier despite having to choose between food & gas but OH the lord provides. This rhetoric… god.
