Hi, I can't exactly give the video for this because it could indirectly dox me. But I'm struggling with a homily that a local priest gave. While he did tell the husbands of the congregation to love their wives as Christ loved the church, he mentioned that a big problem in marriages is that "wives have too many expectations for their husbands" and don't show enough "gratitude" to them. He also said that men don't need love, they need respect. Sounds like some redpill shit. This makes me really mad, because I think that it's the wives who the husbands have all the expectations of. The wives are expected to cook, clean, raise the children, smell good, dress pretty, and still look she's 25 years old after 20 years of marriage. Meanwhile the man get fat, ugly, bald, and disloyal, and the wife still has to act like nothing has changed. Why is the burden put on women to make their man happy, but not on the men to make their women happy? I had been wanting to un-register from there for awhile, for reasons that weren't even this.

Religion was built to benefit men at the expense of women, as evidenced by that horrible sermon.
Unregister today.
It will never benefit you because it's affirmative action for shitty men.
As my grandma used to say, "I try not to let the church come between me and my relationship with god"
Be free. You don't need the church to live your spirituality.
I grew up in a Christian household and ever since I was young, I'm really struggling to accept to believe in their indoctrinations that "women are inferior to men," "wives should submit to their husbands," and "women were punished because Eve tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit." I am also really questioning the story of David and Bathsheba like why would the baby would die when the baby is innocent, shouldn't David be the one should be punished for being a murderer, a cheater, and a pervert? I also find a lot of the scriptures in the Bible questionable. I attended many churches, different types of christian churches too. I saw the way these pastors preach and being hypocrite in the way they live their life.
I read an article in the past about a man who internalize this type of thinking. He said that he only saw women as a human when he had his daughter. That really disturbed me because I am a daughter too and I feel like that's how my parents feel about me and notice that even in our prayers, there is a heirarchy. I also observed how my parents favor my brother and gaslit me about it. I thought that love would conquere all and until right now, my father believed that women can't be leaders and are below to men. I hate him.
During the pandemic, I left the church but in my heart I still believe in God and in Christ. Jesus did not condemn women and even protected them. I find that religions are a way to control people and oppress women, children, slaves, be racists etc. Also, I noticed how religions are obssessed with women's purity which I find disturbing and controlling. As if a woman's value is lost just because of their sexual history. I am deconstructing right now.
I learned a book named "The Woman They Wanted: Shattering the Illusion of the Good Christian Wife" by Shannon Harris. I haven't finish the book yet and only read the couple pages, I feel like this book can help you. Shannon was a wife of a pastor in a charismatic church and discussed how christian churches are destructive for a woman to live and born by it. She shared her experiences. If you want, you can download this book from Anna's Archive or just buy it.
I love when women in anti-woman religions complain about sexism.
They are the people that burned down goddess temples and flayed Hypatia alive for knowing math. :)
It should be illegal to teach your daughters religions that take them away from their divine role as the original gender.
There are good priests and bad priests and not all know how to preach about marriage. Go to another parish.
Remember why you go to Mass (hint: it’s NEVER for the priest). That being said, Popes JP2, B16, & Francis would NEVER say what this one said. Remember to pray for Fr. “Respect”.
Is he the pastor or assistant? Can he be reported to a higher up? (Chances are nothing will be done short of him murdering anybody.)
Is this a regular Catholic parish or a traditional one?
