These theologians will pretzel themselves to “prove” whatever opinion they have, such as complementarianism, dress codes for women, support for far-right ideology and candidates, etc. It would be amusing if if weren’t so tragic.

So many crucial voices & aspects are missing from this, including egalitarian theologians, historians etc., many who can educate about the history & rise of complementarianism & influence w/Southern Baptist Convention/🇺🇲 politics. And EPIDEMICS of abuse. @usnews.com

It’s the new —well, post-60s new-ish— “separate but equal” aka “complementarianism” the softer rebrand of “patriarchy”

i think everyone who's developing the kind of hypertrophied pseudo-secular complementarianism thats leading them to propose "sex-segregated workplaces" should, and i mean this very seriously, be sentenced to a kind of "first grade for adults" where they re-learn how to handle the existence of gender

Complementarianism insists men and women are equal in value but unequal in "role and authority." This is doublespeak for "They are not equal." And the idea that “It’s not about ability, it’s about responsibility” fails on scriptural and logical grounds. I talk about it in my brand new post:

Patriarchy is far right. Complementarianism is middle right. Still oppressive, still abusive.
Feminism is the MIDDLE. It's literally asking for EQUALITY.
The far left would be oppressive matriarchy or something. Nothing near what we're asking for.
We don't want to settle for "still oppressive".
