Quoting Quiverfull: Feminists are the Weakest Women?

quotingquiverfullby Tim Bayly from Bayly Blog – Feminists are the Weakest Women…

Editor’s note: One of the most bizarre silly stories I’ve seen in a long time. Seems petty on both ends, the finger squeezing feminist (he assumes) and the pathetic worried about his masculinity nasty pastor in a struggle for hand shake dominence. None of Bayly’s stories of struggling against feminists do anything but make him look weak and petty, like a peevish middle schooler.

Who are the weakest women?

Once I was visiting an older woman in our congregation who was in the hospital. On the way into her room, IΒ ran into herΒ husband, son-in-law, and daughterΒ in the hallway.Β Although we’dΒ never met, for some time I’d known this daughter didn’t like me even a little bit.

So there outside the hospital room, her Dad introduced me to his daughterΒ and her husband. TheΒ daughter reached out to shake my hand, I thought, but instead grabbed the tip of my fingers and squeezed themΒ as hard as she could.

Nothing was more clear to the three men in the hallway there that moment than that this little woman was determined to show me she was stronger than I was.

It’s time to stop the persecution of our wives and mothers.

This engineering triathlonΒ woman was one of the weakerΒ women I’ve ever met.

The engineering woman, though, hated being a woman, so sheΒ tried to whup me by squeezing my fingers. It was utterly revolting to the three men standing around her, although I’m sure I’m the only one who allowed himself to think it. She was as weak as a woman could beβ€”almost as weak as an effeminate man.

She was also culpably stupid. No one thought she was strong enough to be told she shouldn’tΒ squeeze a man’s fingers. She would have been furious, so people left her in her ignorance. She thought she’d β€œshown” me by squeezing my fingers, butΒ I wasn’t bothered.

QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let’s keep it respectful – but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.
