"I find it heartbreaking that some of the loudest voices defending Christian values are the very ones breaking the first commandment again and again. … Just to be clear, Christian nationalism has no place in either Christianity or patriotism.”

~ Lutheran Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee quoted by Morgen White

Now it has shifted to become less focused on America itself and more aligned with a global authoritarianism that is grounded in a violent masculinity."

"As a theologian, as a pastor, I understand Christian nationalism as an idolatry. And what I've seen is that the idol itself has shifted. It's shifted from a backwards sort of patriotic-ish view of America, a lot of iconography of flags, of military insignia, really Norman Rockwell-esque sort of fuzzy white Americana pictures."

"Though patriarchy often claims a monopoly on rationality and reason, those committed to it will discount the most verifiable, coherent, ordinary story told by a woman and accept any fantastical account by a man, will pretend sexual violence is rare and false accusations common, and so forth."

"If you look at a study of fundamentalist religion across the world, the one thing all fundamentalist religions have in common is the subjugation of women. Ultimately, the goal is to use God to establish a theocracy that is created in such a way that establishes all benefit part and parcel for white men."

"In a rant aimed at his fans last year, Clavicular described his life as a 'horror story' twisted by the unfair demands he claims women have placed on the men pursuing them.

'That’s led me to unreasonable things,' the then-teenager said. 'That’s led me to usage of amphetamines to prolong my fasting.'”

"As fashion designer and author Orsola de Castro puts it: '...To say that masculinity is having a crisis is to admit that it can only function in domination.' When I look at the non-war/incursion/whatever the fuck it is we're doing illegally in Iran, I have to say she's right."

"For a long time, patriarchy didn’t have to explain itself. It didn’t have to justify why women should marry, or have children, or center their lives around others. It didn’t have to make the case that this arrangement was fair, or fulfilling or even optional. It simply was.

Not anymore."

"Noting how fossil fuel extraction and consumption are coded 'masculine', while environmentalism and green technology are coded soft, weak and 'feminine'; it tracks how insecure men are increasingly leaning in to a petro-masculine identity in order to assert traditional masculine authority in the face of climate change, threats to traditional extractive industries, and changing social norms."

"Coined by political scientist Cara Daggett in a 2018 paper, 'petro-masculinity' describes a pernicious fusion between fossil fuel use, climate change denial, and defense of authoritarian white patriarchal masculinity."

"The problem isn’t that people of color and other marginalized people are lacking the necessary qualities – intelligence, ambition, discipline, networks and other qualifications, other merit – to climb their way up to positions of power and influence in greater numbers. The problem is the longstanding & widespread practice of granting preferences to straight white American men."

"The solution isn’t 'masculinity camps' that reinforce toxic archetypes. The solution is emotional therapy and radical accountability from the men who are doing well. It is time for brothers to show up for brothers and say: There is a better way to be human. …

We spend way too much time in our society, which is a patriarchal society that centers the needs and wants and desires of men, before we think about the care of women and children."

"When a woman makes the courageous decision to leave an abusive or failing situation, it becomes the most dangerous moment of her life. We claim to care about women and children, but our systems tell a different story. Law enforcement frequently fails to act until it is too late, and society continues to ask women to 'cater to' and 'hold' the fragile egos of men who are woefully, dangerously unwell."

"We live in a patriarchal society that centers the needs and desires of men while consistently failing to provide them with the emotional tools to exist in a changing world. The result is a devastating wave of violence against women and children.

From the halls of power to the suburbs of Louisiana, we are seeing the fallout of men who cannot manage rejection, empathy, or emotion."

"98% of women who ARE sexually assaulted — know their abuser will never be held accountable.

Roughly 81% of women report experiencing at least one sexual assault.

91% of perpetrators of rape and sexual assault are men.

90% of women killed, are killed by men.

And one of my (least) favorite statistics…

The number one killer of women? Men.

The number one killer of men? Heart disease."

"When they say 'believe all women,' it’s because as Heather Ashley pointed out on Threads:

In any given study, it is estimated that 2%-10% of sexual assault allegations may be false.

2% of all sexual assault cases result in any jail time.

200 men falsely accused of sexual assault would total a roughly 1% chance of even thinking about seeing the inside of a jail cell for it."

"And maybe queer people can show how. After all, the gay archetype encompasses more than just stereotypical titans of industry and hunky Adonises; it includes so many of society’s pivotal artists and writers and thinkers. Alienation doesn’t only spur people to conquer the system that alienated them. It can instead provoke a quest to creatively redefine success on one’s own terms."

"The irony is that a minority once viewed as filled with sissies and losers is now portrayed as filled with bullies and power brokers, and straight people, especially men, seem to perceive themselves as the weak and afraid ones. …

Maybe, as the cartoonish machismo of Trumpism proves its hollowness, America’s latent resentment can be channeled to better ends."

Women were made to look pretty and be loved, not to involve their pretty little heads in political or business matters, says the church's assistant pastor Corbin Clarke. His wife agrees, saying that "God" designed things to work that way.

This model is coming for all of us sooner than we think, is going to be imposed on all of us, if we stand by and let that happen.

Partridge's message:

"On social media, the pastor has attracted a following by posting incendiary commentary: railing against feminists, Catholics and gay people, describing immigration as 'national suicide,' and labeling Islam and Hinduism 'demonic.' He also calls for erasing women’s suffrage, which he lists as one reason 'the world is falling apart.'”

Celeste Davis points to what we don't want to talk about as we talk about Epstein and the Epstein Class:

"Why aren’t we talking about why so many men when given power continually choose to use that power to rape women?

Entitlement, gender inequality and masculine discrepancy stress have all been correlated with rape."
