That is so funny I can’t even deal. Like, I wish I still had a Tumblr so I might name it *the silent rib* in late-adolescent irony.

But also yes so maddening. It reminds me of Katharine Bushnell and her take on original sin. This dude was acting out again Adam’s original person-objectifying, relationship-breaking, God-rejecting mistake that remains in the room with us today.

I ADORE Bushnell. Wrote about her in my first book. 🫶🏻

Liz Charlotte Grant, you are hilarious. I find it so ironic that these "Christian" men who claim to know their Bibles so much better than the rest of us are so mean-spirited. I mean, did they take off their WWJD bracelet before they called you a rib?

I feel like I have found a new friend after the wierner comment. ;) Carry on.

Love this. I’ve wondered why I can stop reading about the vote and the responses and I think you’re right, no matter how far I move away from the SBC, “they are my people.”

And also “Only weiners can do the important work of preaching the gospel” — you are my people! 😅

One, it's so great to have you back in my inbox! Two, as I'm sure you already know, you know you're challenging patriarchy when the misogynists lash out. Doesn't make it less hurtful, but at least you know you're hitting home. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Sherise! I don’t mind a few rude jerks. ;-) I’m tougher than they think!
