The Pretzelified Theology of Women in Combat

I don't normally use tweeny, textual generation acronyms, but this expose of Douglas Wilson's article on women in combat and what the Bible has to say about it calls for one of them.

O (tF) MG!

Seriously, give it a read.  If your eyeballs don't pop out of your head before the rest of your noggin simply explodes, you win a medal.

Libby Anne does a phenomenal job here.  And to think, Doug Wilson has been called a "great thinker".  My god!

Enjoy...

Another Perspective on Mys Doug Wilson

So, Sierra calls me angry in this article.  She's right.  I was angry.  My miserable existence, for years, suffered under the hands of idiots like Mys. Wilson. 

Sierra's best quote:

"Believe me, I’m very familiar with the rhetoric about how submission does not mean inferiority. It may not mean that in theory, but it does in practice. When one person is systematically denied the ability to teach others, to make decisions for her family, to deny sex or pregnancy, to disobey her partner or to live and work independently, she is made the inferior of her partner. This does not mean she is inferior intrinsically. It means she behaves as though she is. It means she is treated as though she is. It means she thinks it’s right for one person to be freer than another on the basis of birth. That is wrong."

I hate to say this, but tears came to my eyes when I read that.  I have been trying to tell men, and the women they rule, this for a long time.  Kristine, my wife has articulated this many times while debating with women who have no idea what freedom means and men who have no clue what it means to love your wife.

Guys, I know how to love my wife.  And Mys. Wilson, I am way above your grade level in being an awesome husband.  I am better than you.  Shave your beard, come sit at my feet, and learn to live your life, changing it from your miserable existence as head controller of your blinded church.  Oh...and get that blowjob I recommended.

Give Sierra's article a read!

Doug Wilson is in Need of a Good Blowjob

The Gospel Coalition is an organization formed by Calvinist, women-hating heavyweights like John Piper (Piper Boy), Mark Driscoll (Strawberry Boy), and Tim Keller (someone I am just becoming familiar with).  TGC has a Council.  This Council is made up of 52 members.  52 big name Christians.  Not one of them is a woman. 

On July 13, 2012, Jared C. Wilson wrote a small blog post on TGC's website.  In this post, he quoted a passage from a book by the misogynist Doug Wilson.  The passage read like a 1950's depiction of daddy coming home and Beaver joyously, at the age of 16, tugging on his trouser leg, begging for a story of his day at work.  Translation:  The utopia of the 1950's family on television was just that - a utopia.  Reality is and always will be much better.

There is much hoopla around cyberspace about this excerpt being an endorsement of rape from a biblical perspective, but I disagree with that.  In Doug's defense, as well as Jared's, I will take their word at face value.  They insist this isn't the case and I don't see how one can read that into this passage.  However, I think the true meaning of Doug's words give a picture into his own sex life - dry, repetitive (when it comes to sex, repetitive can be a good thing), and boring.

Doug's pet theme in many of his works is the authority of the god of the Bible over all of his creation and, by proxy, mankind created with a built-in authority structure.  Of course, as all pompous men in the fundamentalist, male-dominated world, Doug concludes that women are to be subservient to men.  But, in his writings, Doug doesn't try to mince his words by adding flowers and bunnies to the word "submit", or even attempt to redefine it as something mutual between a husband and wife.  No, he flaunts men's superiority.  In short, Doug Wilson is a prude - a veritable prick.

Get a load of this quote:
"When we quarrel with the way the world is, we find that the world has ways of getting back at us. In other words, however we try, the sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts. This is of course offensive to all egalitarians, and so our culture has rebelled against the concept of authority and submission in marriage. This means that we have sought to suppress the concepts of authority and submission as they relate to the marriage bed."

I'll give you a moment to catch your breath.

........................................

Ok.  Moment over.

Ah, the nebulous "world" jargon speak.  This word is used to keep converts in line and has no practical meaning except by those that wish to exert their control over their followers. If anyone questions the leader's principled life or words, they merely have to say "world!" and the layperson has to acquiesce.  In this case, anything that Mys. (short for misogynist) Wilson says about sex in the positive "biblical" sense is good.  Anything else - world!

Sex is only to be enjoyed through the lens of the authority doctrine.  Man conquers, woman is entered.

Mys. Wilson, I despise your kind.  You are the scum of the earth.  You are part of the problem with respect to failed marriages.  You deem yourself to be lifting up a standard for perfect people to be a pleasing aroma to your god and, instead, you end up creating piles of filth - lives destroyed in the wake of the collapse of your exalted, yet unworkable principles.

I know.  I lived it.  For SIX YEARS!

My wife grew up in fundamentalism and from conception to the day she was married, people like Mys. Wilson taught her how disgusting and evil sex was.  Sex was evil up until the magical moment of saying "I do."  Then, you could enjoy sex, but it had to be proper.  Even society, with all its hallowed stereotypes played a role in telling my bride that women weren't supposed to desire sex and men were rabid, insatiable, dogs.

So, for the first six years of marriage, we suffered.  Why?  Because I didn't get enough sex?  I must be an insatiable, selfish, self-centered, pathetic, bastard, right?

Hell no!  I just wanted her to initiate sexual activity.  That's it.

Call it egalitarian.  Call it married.  I don't care.  When two people come together to enjoy sex, rules be damned.  I want to make sweet love to my wife in the way SHE wants it.  She wants to do it exactly the way I want it.  Then, we both want much for ourselves. 

You see, Mys. Wilson, sex isn't about rules, authority, perfection, or anything you dream up to try and spiritualize an awesome act of pure pleasure.  Sex is about the union of two bodies in the perfect, animalistic way that those two people desire to do with each other.  Frankly, it's none of your damned business what we do with it.  And, here's the shocking part, Kristine exhibits all the stereotypes of what society considers "male" and I "female" when it comes to what we desire.  There are no male and female roles in sex. 

Doug Wilson, you need a damn good blowjob.  You need to learn how to be conquered, be planted upon, and smothered by a beautiful woman that wants nothing but to satiate your lustful desires while enjoying the hell out of herself, as well.  Take your perfect world and throw it out the window for one night of pleasure.  Doug, you'll never go back.

Finally, one last consideration.  Where to insert your beard.
