This article made me gasp outloud & was hard for me to read

I will crosspost in GD

snip-The conflation of porn with theology confused me, but I knew that whatever I was about to find out, our God said it should be so. Chillingly, I was yet to learn that the most important question anyone can ask when a Christian pastor teaches that women should submit to their husbands is, “What happens if she disagrees or refuses to obey?”



snip-My husband believed Wilson’s teaching held the key to the Christian Golden Age, a shining millennium where Christian ethics and white men rule without resistance or room for anyone else. It goes by several names. Dominion theology. Federalism. Calvinism. New Calvinism. Fundamentalism.



"If this sounds familiar to you, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is part of the same denomination and supports a new Christian Crusade, or Holy War. These ideologies are rising in the podcast “manosphere” and the popular trad-wife movement, which offer a refuge of control for men who feel sidelined by feminism."


snip-"His leather belt hissed as he removed it.

I buried my face in the pillow as he struck me and silently screamed into the feathered down. Like submissive women in a vacuum, I made no sound."



Much more there

they were egging each others’ fantasies on. Her being naked on all fours was a big tell. And unlike consensual S&M there was no safe word or M to be found, just sexual sadism under the guise of religion.
