To truly understand just how stupid Christianity makes a person, one need only look at the example of Patriarchy. Patriarchy is a construct that historically placed men in positions of authority and privilege, affecting various aspects of society, including politics, economics, and culture. The irrationality of patriarchy lies in its perpetuation of inequality and its resistance to progressive change that benefits all members of society.
Understanding Patriarchy
Patriarchy is not some complex notion. It is simply a social construct formed out of human social evolution from conditions. Patriarchy emerged from the shift from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities during the agricultural revolution. This transition marked the beginning of a social construct where men, who typically engaged in physically demanding tasks like plowing and hunting, gained dominance due to their control over resources, leading to the subjugation of women to domestic roles.
Let’s be clear. Patriarchy, historically, led to the domination of women for the simple reasons that conditions favored physical strength as a survival mechanism, thus allowing men to ascend to leadership and oppression of women. This system naturally occurred which does not make it right, god-given, or any other ridiculous notion used to reinforce this system. In fact, patriarchy provides no benefit in the modern world because it takes over half of a population and reduces them to subordinate positions based on nothing more than the absence of a penis.
This is patriarchy: man leads because he has a penis.
Despite the progress made over centuries, patriarchal systems persist, often reinforcing themselves through various means, most notably religion. In the US, Christianity fuels patriarchy for its core attribute is the upholding of traditional male qualities as central, while other qualities are considered subordinate. This dualistic and gendered thinking leads to roles that are rigidly defined by gender, with men often occupying the most visible and influential positions. Women, even when they hold such positions, are expected to conform to male norms. Hence, why patriarchy is oppressive.
Christian Stupidity & Patriarchy
Understanding that patriarchy is a naturally forming, oppressive system, one would assume that any normal person would oppose such a system, but not Christians. In fact, Christians embrace patriarchy because the Bible says that men should be in charge, specifically in charge of women. Patriarchy is an integral part of the religion and therefore makes the religion oppressive. This fact is highlighted by its contribution to other forms of oppression, such as racism, sizeism, and homophobia. Patriarchy maintains control by reinforcing traditional social structures and increasing control over oppressed or marginalized groups when challenged.
To believe that patriarchy is ‘good thing’ you must concede to the fact that this system breeds oppression, classism, racism, and misogyny. Yet Christians do not have problem with patriarchy, which means they are either totally misinformed or stupid. Who would want such a system, knowing the negative effects of patriarchy? More to the point, what woman would desire patriarchy?
Christian women, that’s who.
Patriarchy Makes Men Monsters
The feminist movement, though instrumental in challenging the patriarchal system, has met with fierce opposition from Christians who equate it with communism, authoritarianism, religious oppression, and other ridiculous notions. This opposition continues because it is the backlash of Christian men who have been indoctrinated to believe that they are entitled to not just govern women but to have their bodies. Under patriarchy, words sex is a duty for women and right for men. That is why you have Christian leaders who rail against women having equal rights or being in positions historically dominated by men. This is why you have INCELs who think they are entitled to have sex with women. This is the way of the Christian: domination and inequality with white Christian men benefiting the most since they hold the power.
If you are asking how this makes men monsters, the answer is very simple. Christian men seek to enforce patriarchy at the expense of not just women and minority groups. They enforce patriarchy to the detriment of society as a whole, and they do not care. This is the reason women have been ignored and persecuted for being raped, why domestic violence is often ignored, why brutalizing homosexuals and minorities is overlooked, and why men are exalted for promiscuity while women are condemned as whores.
Christian Stupidity
To not recognize the malevolence of patriarchy is to either be willfully ignorant or to be completely stupid. This is Christianity’s benefit to society: indoctrinating women to support a their own inequality while allowing men to dominate them. This is the stupidity Christians want you to obey as law.
Man is leader because he has penis!
Woman serves man because she has no penis!
Christianity is that simple and that stupid.
