White evangelicals embrace raunchy photos — yet they hate sex as much as ever (www.salon.com)

"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."

What the fuck is up with that cursed AI photo? She's using a whisk in a colander; anything that she would be whisking would be going right through the holes.

The image is too low res to be able to tell if it's AI or not. The edges on things like arms in AI images are always dead pixelated but really sharp, which indicates they're artificially generated images. But this image is compressed so much that it's impossible to tell.

Anyway it's from Getty images and is a generic piece of stock photography so it's entirely possible that the photographer is just thick. All sorts of weird stock images.

They hate sex for others. All these assholes are regulars at local orgies and swinging parties. They just feign the morality.

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

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.

Wow, that is a very good thesis. Thanks for sharing!
