Trumpian Christians love bikini pics now, but they still don't want women to enjoy sex
"I would actually suggest that conservative folks are less concerned about sex and more concerned about the performance of gender," Gibson told me. "Sex just happens to be the vehicle" they are currently using, he explained, to push a rigid gender ideology where "men are expected to be the leaders" and "women are supposed to be submissive." He pointed out that much "tradwife" content may be sexually provocative, for instance, but it still pushes the notion that "women aren't sexual people" because "the purpose of a heterosexual relationship is for a woman to please a man."
And the ones having sex under the bathroom stalls, and the ones molesting children, and the ones getting secret abortions... The list goes on and the projection gets strong.
"Rules for thee but not for me." Which brings us around to Wilhoit's observation:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
I grew up in an evangelical, Baptist community. Half the adults in the church were cheating with each other, and one of the Deacons was fucking the pastor's wife. Even us kids could see what was going on
