    Conservative women need to keep their mouth shut and stay in the kitchen. There are bible quotes on this. Every time they speak in public the only response should be

    KJV: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

    RSV: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.”

    GNB: “I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.”

    I wanna see hundreds of replies to every tradwife politicians with these every time they speak and I wanna see reporters repeat these instead of asking questions. If they want rights and be treated with respect, ditch the religion and trad shit and join the rest of us in the future.

      How about we start calling them out on all the foolish things the Bible forbids, but they ignore and do anyway such as:

      • Wearing clothing made of blended fabrics - leviticus 19:19

      • Wearing ripped or torn clothing - leviticus 10:6

      • Eating shellfish - leviticus 11:10

      • Eating pork - leviticus 11:4

      • No short hair cuts, and no shaving beards - leviticus 19:27

      • No tattoos or piercings - leviticus 19:28

      • No alcohol in church - leviticus 10:9

      • No working on the sabbath - leviticus 23:3

      • No divorce - mark 10:9

      • No wearing jewelry - timothy 2:9

      • No lying - leviticus 19:11

      • Don’t mistreat foreigners - leviticus 19:33-34

      • Buying or selling land - leviticus 25:23

      I could honestly do this all day as there are so very many things to write here, but I feel this is sufficient to demonstrate my point.

      Don’t let these people use their faith as justification to be terrible humans until they follow every word “written” by their infallible god in their hypocritical self contradictory book that none of them have actually read.

        That would take progressives to actually go on the offensive for once in their lives. It ain’t happening. We both know that.

        Conservatives lead an endless charge to alway be on the attack. Always lash out at the media, lash out against Democrats, lash out at the big bad gob’ment.

        Democrats aren’t willing to defend themselves if their own lives depended on it. And these days, that isn’t fiction anymore.

        Evangelicals aren’t bound by the laws of the old testament, so most of your list has no bearing on them.

          They aren’t bound by the New Testament either, with all that ridiculous socialism from that Jewish hippie

          They’re not, but a lot of their positions are justified by other things that sit right next to what Hazdaz listed.

        To be fair, some of those restrictions were lifted in the new testament.

        “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” -Matthew 15:11

          They don’t have any problem pulling from the Old Testament whenever it suits their bigotry.

          the new testament

          Wait a second, Omnipotent Man didn’t get it right on the first try? Something’s fishy here.

          Ok, but should we still banish people from society if they have sex during a menstrual cycle as leviticus 20:18 commands?

      Scary, but true: There are conservative women who have gone on record saying they’d be OK with exactly this. And if you attempt to make this argument in front of a conservative, the only thing they’re going to hear is this: “The bible says that women must be silent. Therefore we also need to repeal women’s right to vote.”

      Remember, this all started when some (probably nonexistent) trans kids in North Carolina wanted to use a different bathroom. Similar arguments were made and rather than the GOP come to their senses, they just kept doubling down and used it as a launch point for their culture wars. They basically answered every question like that with “We’ll ban that too!”
