from Saving Sex: Sexuality and Salvation in American Evangelicalism by Amy DeRogatis (2015)

behind the Total Woman Workshops, which taught evangelical women how to please their husbands in all aspects of daily life but most especially in the bedroom. Morgan’s book is a product of its time, responding to the sexual revolution and the feminist movement by claiming female sexual power while maintaining sex-defined roles in the household. Morgan urges married women to reprogram their minds to eliminate negative views of sexuality and to learn to be the object of their husband’s greatest sexual fantasies.

Morgan suggests, for example, that wives dress up in costumes and play roles: “You can be lots of different women to him. Costumes provide a variety without him ever leaving home... You may be a smoldering sexpot or an all-American fresh beauty. Be a pixie or a pirate—a cowgirl or a show girl.” She also encourages women to set sexual scenes in different rooms in the house, to use props (such as a trampoline), to initiate sex, and above all to learn to respond positively to their husbands’ sexual overtures.

Men, she explains, are less complicated than women, and while women want to be loved, men simply want to be admired. It is relatively simple, according to Morgan’s formula, to keep your husband happy. The easiest and most effective way is to openly praise his virility and sexual performance.

For women to feel loved, they must make themselves beautiful to their husbands by fully submitting to him: “It is only when a woman surrenders her life to her husband, reveres and worships him, and is willing to serve him, that she becomes really beautiful to him.” Morgan’s primary interest is in building strong marriages by exploiting the husband’s “natural” sexual longings and reaping the wife’s material desires.

It's so insane because every time I watch CATWS I'm like... Steve Rogers would literally prefer to die at Bucky's hands than go on living without him. Steve would rather die than admit that he really truly lost Bucky. He wants to look into Bucky's eyes as Bucky kills him because at the very least, it's Bucky. He knows for certain he's gonna spend his final moments with Bucky, whether that's a peaceful death decades from now, hand in hand, or right now, as Bucky beats him lifeless.

The way the idea, the concept, the conspiracy theory that Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov somehow survived her execution just fully embedded itself into the popular consciousness in the 20th century. This was a thing that was accepted as not only possible but probable to the point that it was adapted into an animated children’s musical, a Broadway show based on the animated children’s musical, and an adventure module for Pathfinder.

Anna Anderson was just a young woman with an unfortunate history of mental health issues, but she became part of this wild media circus and the centre of this century-long conspiracy theory because people just. Wanted it to be true. What was with our obsession with this idea. Why did we want it to be true.

Superman: You still have contingency plans for all of us?

Batman: Yep.

Superman: And all your kids have them too? What did you say to make them do that to their friends?

Batman: Wait, does Jason have plans too?

Superman: Yes.

Batman (smirking): I needed to know that.

Batman resumed typing on his laptop.

Superman: Bruce!

Batman: When I'm in my suit, you call me by my hero name. We’ve already been over this.

Superman: Batman, we need to talk about this.

Batman: Oh my God, why wouldn’t I have contingency plans? You think I’d let you morons coast by? One of you is basically a god. One of you is related to a god. One of you can run so fast that he turns back time. And one of you has a ring that can materialize anything. I could go on and on about the potential screw-ups you’ve caused. So I ask again—why the flying hell would I not have plans?

Superman: …

Flash: …

Wonder Woman: … Okay, but—

Batman: Who didn’t get possessed by Trigon?

Superman: You.

Batman: And whose son was able to break the control over one of you?

Wonder Woman: Yours.

Batman: And this conversation is?

Flash: Ended.

Batman: Was that so hard? I have real work to do, and stop calling me when I'm busy.

Flash: Work as Bruce Wayne or Batman?

Batman: Yes. I'm not sure- Correction, you all see these plans as me not trusting you. I don't. I have plans for when I turn evil which... has happened. Why would I not have these planned? I care about this world. As closed off as I am, that won't stop me from protecting citizens and that includes you.

Batman closed his laptop and left without further discussion.

Wonder Woman: You admitted you cared about us!

Batman: Okay sure.
