Anyway, Im not shocked by conservative hypersexualizing their wives. Ive heard so many pastors talk about their "smokin hot wives" and "amazing married sex life." What shocks me is that now they love Andrew Tate and Sydney Sweeney who present as unapologetically hypersexual while being unmarried.
Having grown up in that culture, I tell people that White evangelicalism is how Protestant Christianity adapted to slavery in the southern U.S. White evangelicalism is basically White supremacy and patriarchy dressed up in the language of Jesus. To be socially acceptable White Protestant....1/
Christianity became about right religious beliefs/rhetoric (accepting Christ as Your Personal Savior and Lord) and looking away from the violence and horror of slavery, or anything else having to do with social justice. It was about upholding the norms of White supremacy and hierarchy...2/
keeping women in their place; keeping Black people in their place; rejecting immigrants (too Catholic!) and it was in a system that relied on slave patrols and violence to maintain order. This is how Southern Baptist---and most evangelicals got their start. They've updated their language now...3/
but White evangelicals' true creed is still all about racial and gender hierarchy. Whenever political reporters/pundits used to "wonder" how white evangelicals could support Trump, I used to think, aw shit, get a clue. White evangelicals and Trump worship the same religion. So hypersexuality....4/
is fine with White evangelicals, as long as it's in service to White men and patriarchy. Which is why they don't really have a problem with Andrew Tate or Sydney Sweeney. It's all the same religion. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 😊
