The 'Worshipped Wives' Committee (Part 4)

The Heartbroken Feathered Serpent

Link to Part 3

Shuri was the last to enter the gilded room before sitting down next to a pregnant Okoye and indifferent Namora.

Ayo arched a brow at the queen.

Ayo: You look stressed, my Queen.

Shuri, waving off her formalities: We have a problem.

Namora: What is it?

Shuri: I've upset my husband.

Ayo: So, you have a problem. Not we.

Shuri: Yes.

Okoye: What did you do?

Shuri: I told him I hated him, and he's been avoiding me ever since.

Okoye: Avoiding?

Shuri: He no longer visits my lab. He does not sleep in our room. I rarely see him anywhere in Wakanda.

Ayo: Any affection?

Shuri: None. He doesn't even look at me during our meetings with the council. He seems so cold now.

Namora: That is called a consequence. Not a problem.

Shuri: And that conment is not helping me come up with a solution.

Ayo: Why did you tell K'uk'ulkan that you hate him?

Okoye: Especially when you know he's extra sensitive to your words.

Shuri: He was being annoying and it was pissing me off. Like- he knows I was working hard on something and he got mad at me because I forgot something he had planned out.

Ayo: Shuri. He planned something out and you stood him up. You're the bad guy in this situation.

Shuri: I am not-

Namora: -You know he will never escape the judgment of others pertaining to the wrongs he's done to you and Wakanda. You saw how everyone was against your wedding. *crosses her arms* You should have just ran your spear through him if you did not want the burden of his affection. It would be more honorable than this.

Shuri: I- *sighs under Namora's glare* Ok. How do I fix this?

Ayo: You're going to have to drop the act.

Shuri: The act?

Okoye: Being difficult with him. You're going to have to be affectionate and open and sincere.

Shuri: Affectionate? Like... PDA...?

Okoye: Yes. And actually doting on him. Everyone wants to feel loved and appreciated by their spouse.

Shuri: Can't I just sleep with him?

Namora: Being intimate with your lover is not a remedy. You must resolve things with words. You know that intimacy holds great meaning between lovers in Talokan. Do not offend Aj K'uk'ulkan further by suggesting such a thing.

Shuri: This sucks.

Ayo: Then maybe you shouldn't go around telling him you hate him.

Shuri: I don't want to hear anything from you Ayo. Let's not forget how you made Aneka cry for those ducklings.

Ayo: Not wanting to deal with duck poop is way less serious than telling Aneka I hate her.

Okoye: I agree.

Namora: The two of you are undeserving of your companions' affection for making them cry and suffer so much.

Ayo: I don't want to hear that coming from someone who's married to a woman with a blood kink.

Namora: Oni likes blood in combat. It does not cross over into our relationship. She is treasured properly unlike your lovers.

Ayo: What about that time you landed her in a wheelchair.

Namora: That was because I pleasured her too much. *shrugs* She was spoiled thoroughly during her recovery. I now know her limits very well.

Shuri: I'm still surprised you top Oni.

Namora: There is no top or bottom. We just do whatever feels right in the moment.

Ayo: Wait! You've been on the bottom?

Namora: Have you ever seen Oni tipsy or after a sparring session?

Ayo: Ah. I understand. Drunk Aneka is something else entirely.

Okoye pulled out a comtainer of cubed fruit before getting teary as she looked inside.

Ayo: Udade?

Okoye, holding up a heart-shaped piece of honeydew with her fork: I've been craving melons like crazy lately, so Attuma packed me a container of honeydew today. *sniffles* And he cut every piece into a heart.

Shuri: I-Is that bad?

Okoye: No. It's just so cute. *sniffles*

Namora: But you are crying.

Okoye: If you were pregnant, you would understand. *pops a piece of fruit into her mouth* These hormones are serious.

They all nodded in agreement before refocusing on the Queen's dilemma.

Okoye, pointing her fork at the Shuri: What are you going to do?

Shuri: Short black dress tactics?

Ayo: Mm... no.

Namora: You should wear something from Talokan.

Shuri: Ok. *makes notes* Then I find him and apologize. Maybe call him my king? Bat my eyes a little.

Okoye: It must be sincere.

Shuri: it will be. I just might need a bit of liquor in my system.

Ayo: Shuri.

Shuri: What!?

Okoye: Absolutely not.

Shuri: That's too much to do sober.

Ayo: You married him!

Shuri: And I'm trying to fix our marriage.

Okoye: Bast give us strength.

Namora: You must be clear and sober with your apology. He will know your intentions, and you may face his wrath if you half ass it.

Shuri: Fiiiinnne. I'll try.

Ayo: And. If all goes well- you'll report back to us with good news.

Shuri: If it works.

Namora: It will work if you are sincere.

Shuri: Right. *takes a deep breath before exhaling* Sincere

End notes:

We finally get to see the other side of the wife worship quad. Namora could definitely be a part of the wife worship squad, but she's never as explicit as Oni. So. That's why she's over here.

Should I write out a snippet of Shuri apologizing to Namor? How long do you think it will take for them to make amends?

Can’t Stay Away’s Fic Rec Friday #3 (06.30.23) - The I Worship My Wife Committee by @mickimomo

Title: The I Worship My Wife Committee (Tumblr) | 

Author(s): mickimomo (ao3)  | @mickimomo (Tumblr)

Fandom(s): Black Panther Wakanda Forever

Pairing/Ship(s): Attoye (Okoye x Attuma) | Nashuri (Shuri x Namor) | Aneka x Ayo | Onimora (Oni x Namora)

Type: AU |  Non Canon Compliant | Original Character

Rating: Mature

Status: Unfinished (?)

Updated: 06.28.23

Summary:  … just know that Aneka, Namor, Attuma, and Oni have little get togethers where they gush over their wives.

Why I Love It: This is the kind of fun stuff that serves as a cooling palette cleanser when you want a little light reading that involves your favorite characters just enjoying themselves. There are shenanigans, but it maintains its lightheartedness and sense of humor. The writer is having fun with this, I can tell, because I am having fun reading it. Nothing is more fun than having these characters interact with one another in a spousal support group, because they are utterly addicted to the loves of their lives!

This is an offshoot of another series, The Sun and The Sky, which has been the writer’s starting point for these characters, especially the original character Oni. It began as an Attoye one shot, from what I can tell, and has expanded into an ensemble epic with two additional multi-chapter installments. I have not read this series yet, but I did read the “I Worship my Wife Committee” shorts and it made me want to check out the original series. I plan to do just that before the next Fic Rec Friday!

I think it would be best to start with the series itself before reading this? That’s what I should have done. But, think of this as something to look forward to once you get to that point. This short series of chapters does stand on their own as separate, entertaining little vignettes, but start with the whole meal, then cap it off with these sweet little bites!

An Affray at Orovsji

While traveling through Macedonia, I came across the village of Orovsji. The day before, seven Bulgarians and four Turkish soldiers had killed each other, and the villagers had just finished burying them. Despite this recent violence, the village was otherwise quiet. The entire Balkan Peninsula was experiencing an unusual calm. There were no widespread massacres of peaceful Christians by aggressive Muslims, no destructive campaigns by the Sultan’s troops, and no reports of atrocities against peasant women by men in fezzes. Few incidents reached the ears of newspaper correspondents in Constantinople, and even fewer were reported back to London. Yet, in 1905, more murders occurred in Macedonia than in many of the previous years that had shocked Christian Europe and prompted cries for action.

Civil War between Rival Christian Churches

The region was plagued by a civil war between rival Christian churches, each vying for dominance. This conflict was further complicated by the jealousies and interventions of various powerful nations. The Macedonian population was a mix of different races, adding to the turmoil. Bulgarian “bands” used specific methods to assert their influence, while Greek “bands” also operated in the area, leading to frequent conversions and reconversions among the local people.

European Officers and the Gendarmerie

European officers and the gendarmerie were present, attempting to maintain some semblance of order. However, there was a belief that a large-scale massacre might be necessary to draw significant attention to the ongoing crisis. Serbian “bands” were also active in Macedonia, contributing to the instability. The interactions between Turks and Greeks were particularly tense, adding another layer of complexity to the situation Tours Bulgaria.

Scattered Barbarities

The reason the brutal methods in Macedonia did not attract much attention was that the atrocities were scattered. A village of a dozen houses might be burned down—a common occurrence that did not warrant much attention in Constantinople. A family might be murdered, with husbands, wives, children, and elderly folk shot, their brains battered out, or their throats cut—these were everyday affairs.

The Good Christian at Home

When told of these horrors, good Christians at home would shudder and, being pious, offer a little prayer for the day when the cursed Turks would be swept out of Europe. They hoped that the long-suffering but patient Christian people of the Balkan Peninsula would finally be free to live peacefully and worship as their hearts and consciences dictated. Many would likely send contributions to Balkan committees to help feed the destitute and support the efforts to drive the murderous Turks out of Europe.

The Remedy

Finding a remedy for the chaos in Macedonia was challenging. The mix of rival Christian factions, racial diversity, and the interventions of various powers made the situation incredibly complex. The involvement of European officers and the gendarmerie was not enough to stem the violence. Some believed that only a significant, attention-grabbing massacre could force the international community to take serious action. The interactions between Turks, Greeks, Bulgarians, and Serbians in the region required careful and diplomatic solutions to bring lasting peace.

In conclusion, the situation in Macedonia in 1905 was dire and complex, with scattered acts of barbarity contributing to a climate of fear and instability. While the region was quieter than in previous years, the underlying tensions and conflicts remained unresolved, leaving the people of the Balkan Peninsula to continue their struggle for peace and freedom.

Forgive Me (Namor x Shuri) (Part 5)

Part of the 'I Worship My Wife' Committee × The 'Worshipped Wives' Committee series

Link to Part 4

Shuri had worked endlessly to prepare herself to apologize to K'uk'ulkan.

She was dressed in a jade gown he had given her to wear when she returned to Wakanda after grieving in Haiti. He had it made in hopes of making her return home enjoyable. And it was, when she attended Oni's welcome home party.

It was a beautiful gown.

It hugged her curves and sparkled like the waters of a tropical beach with each step.

Instead of overaccesorizing, she put on a pair of jade earrings and pinned a few feathers that he had gifted her from his headdress into her hair.

She looked at herself in the mirror and neated a few undone twists in her twist out updo before looking herself over one last time.

All that was left, was to meet her husband.

She knew he wouldn't leave his grotto, so she would have to go to him.

Namora was kind enough to take her there and left with a small glare and a soft 'you better fix this'.

Shuri knew deep down that everyone was rooting for them to make amends.

Including Namora.

It was too much to see K'uk'ulkan so angry.

She looked around quietly.

There was no one around the grotto.

No guards.

No handmaids.

Not even a council member.

It probably had to do with the energy coming from the god king.

The anger that radiated from the hut, alone, was enough to make her weary of approaching.

But, she couldn't retreat.

This was her fault.

She had broken the heart of Aj K'uk'ulkan and made him wait a week for a sincere apology.

If she waited any longer, he'd probably drag her out of the lab and hold her hostage in Talokan.

She was surprised he hadn't done it after two days had passed.

He just stayed here.

Waiting.

With dwindling patience.

She took a deep breath.

If anyone deserved his wrath, it was her.

The queen exhaled before clenching her fists to muster up what little confidence she had left.

She slowly made her way in and stopped once she spotted her husband working on a painting with his hands and various brushes.

He knew she was there but refused to break his focus.

She watched him quietly before moving forward and taking a seat on the floor beside him.

He didn't acknowledge her.

Dark brown eyes watched his fingers push the paint around before he cleaner off his hand on a rag and reached for a piece of coal to add details.

His body tensed when his hand found hers.

"You cannot ignore me forever." Shuri whispered.

He lifted his hand and closed his eyes.

"I want to apologize for saying I hate you." She grabbed his wrist gently before guiding his hand to her face. "And for making you wait a week for an apology. I regretted it once the word left my mouth. I didn't enjoy watching your heart break or your eyes go dull. I didn't mean to wait this long. I just-" She took a deep breath before exhaling. "I didn't think there was anything I could say that would make you feel better. At least, not without properly thinking things over and understanding how much I fucked up."

"Hate is a strong word, Queen Shuri."

"I know. I was just... frustrated... trying to finish a project in the lab. I took my anger out on you and I was wrong for that." She frowned. "I'd also like to apologize for not showing up to the things you planned. I made you feel neglected and unappreciated. I know that I have been awful to you and I'm sorry."

"You knew you were being awful and did not care until I washed my hands of you."

"I didn't mean it like that."

"To have a wife that hates their husband is a fitting punishment." He pulled his hand away before refocusing on his painting. "It must have been fun stringing me along. Giving me hope and then crushing me. I hope it made you happy."

"In yakunaj-"

"Do not call me your love." He glared holes into the painting. "You do not love me."

"I do."

"I don't want to hear your lies."

"I am not lying to you, Ch'ah Toh."

That made him look at her.

Shuri rarely used his real name unless she was serious or releasing.

"I know I have failed you, and I am sorry. Our marriage was not a punishment. I did not marry you to make you miserable." She guided his hand to her chest so that he could feel her frantic heart. "Ma'ach in túukulkech, in yakunaj. In k'áatech, Ch'ah Toh."

"You only miss me because I'm not chasing after you." He tried to pull his hand away, but her grip was firm. "You cannot love me. Your love has no merit."

Shuri felt her eyes burn with tears. "I know." She lowered her head as tears began to fall. "I-I want it to have merit." She whispered. "I want another chance... if you'll give it."

Namor stared at her with dead eyes before gently lifting her head.

"What will you give me?"

"Whatever you want."

"Whatever I want?"

She offered a small nod as he lifted his hand and thumbed away her tears. "Y-Yes."

"You'll let me kiss you in front of others?"

"Yes."

"Hug you?"

"Yes."

"Hold hands?"

"Yes."

"You'll attend the dates I plan?"

"Yes."

"Leave the lab without starting a fight?"

"Yes."

"Say that you love me sincerely?"

"I've always been sincere."

"That doesn't sound like a yes."

"Yes, in yakunaj."

"If I ask for anything else... will you give it?"

"If it will make you happy, I will do whatever you ask of me."

"What if I want none of these things I've asked for?" He tilted his head. "What if I don't want you anymore?"

"Then I'll work hard until you do." She whispered. "Just like you did, when I was in Haiti."

A small smile creeped up on his lips at the memories of him working endlessly to win her affection and earn her forgiveness. It vanished after a moment, and his eyes shined with all the pain he had been hiding while away from her.

Shuri couldn't stand to see him so broken.

This was all her fault.

"I cannot hold my anger over you." He whispered as tears burned his eyes. "I was only angry because you gave me hope that this was real."

"This is real."

"But you hate me, and I am deserving of your hatred."

"No you are not." She shook her head slowly before gently grabbing his face and pressing her forehead to his. "I hate your actions. I hate what you did. I hated you. But, I dont hate you anymore." She took in a shaky breath. "Ch'ah Toh, you became my friend, my confidant, a shoulder to cry on, and eventually my lover. My husband and my heart." She continued to whisper. "You have somehow become the other half of my soul and I cannot hate you. Those words will never hold weight against you." She sniffled. "Who I was when we were on that beach covered in blood is not who I am now. I have healed and moved forward." She closed her eyes. "And you have every right to be upset with me for not appreciating you and cherishing you properly. You have done so much and loved me so tenderly, and I tarnished it all by saying something so harsh. I shouldn't have said it, and I am willing to work towards earning your forgiveness if you'll let m-"

Shuri's words were silenced as his lips pressed against hers.

It was a short and sweet kiss.

And for a moment, the world was silent.

It was as if they were the only ones on the planet.

Like nothing else mattered.

And Namor allowed her to sink into him as he slowly broke the kiss.

He thumbed away her new tears before pressing his forehead to hers.

"I forgive you."

"Let me earn it."

"I will." He whispered before kissing her again.

Chile, this almost became a smut. 💀 If y'all beg me enough, I might do it and throw it up on AO3. The attoye community currently has me in a chokehold, though, so you might have to pry a few fingers off my neck. 🥴 Hope you enjoyed it.

A Kettle of Fish

An Affray at Orovsji

While traveling through Macedonia, I came across the village of Orovsji. The day before, seven Bulgarians and four Turkish soldiers had killed each other, and the villagers had just finished burying them. Despite this recent violence, the village was otherwise quiet. The entire Balkan Peninsula was experiencing an unusual calm. There were no widespread massacres of peaceful Christians by aggressive Muslims, no destructive campaigns by the Sultan’s troops, and no reports of atrocities against peasant women by men in fezzes. Few incidents reached the ears of newspaper correspondents in Constantinople, and even fewer were reported back to London. Yet, in 1905, more murders occurred in Macedonia than in many of the previous years that had shocked Christian Europe and prompted cries for action.

Civil War between Rival Christian Churches

The region was plagued by a civil war between rival Christian churches, each vying for dominance. This conflict was further complicated by the jealousies and interventions of various powerful nations. The Macedonian population was a mix of different races, adding to the turmoil. Bulgarian “bands” used specific methods to assert their influence, while Greek “bands” also operated in the area, leading to frequent conversions and reconversions among the local people.

European Officers and the Gendarmerie

European officers and the gendarmerie were present, attempting to maintain some semblance of order. However, there was a belief that a large-scale massacre might be necessary to draw significant attention to the ongoing crisis. Serbian “bands” were also active in Macedonia, contributing to the instability. The interactions between Turks and Greeks were particularly tense, adding another layer of complexity to the situation Tours Bulgaria.

Scattered Barbarities

The reason the brutal methods in Macedonia did not attract much attention was that the atrocities were scattered. A village of a dozen houses might be burned down—a common occurrence that did not warrant much attention in Constantinople. A family might be murdered, with husbands, wives, children, and elderly folk shot, their brains battered out, or their throats cut—these were everyday affairs.

The Good Christian at Home

When told of these horrors, good Christians at home would shudder and, being pious, offer a little prayer for the day when the cursed Turks would be swept out of Europe. They hoped that the long-suffering but patient Christian people of the Balkan Peninsula would finally be free to live peacefully and worship as their hearts and consciences dictated. Many would likely send contributions to Balkan committees to help feed the destitute and support the efforts to drive the murderous Turks out of Europe.

The Remedy

Finding a remedy for the chaos in Macedonia was challenging. The mix of rival Christian factions, racial diversity, and the interventions of various powers made the situation incredibly complex. The involvement of European officers and the gendarmerie was not enough to stem the violence. Some believed that only a significant, attention-grabbing massacre could force the international community to take serious action. The interactions between Turks, Greeks, Bulgarians, and Serbians in the region required careful and diplomatic solutions to bring lasting peace.

In conclusion, the situation in Macedonia in 1905 was dire and complex, with scattered acts of barbarity contributing to a climate of fear and instability. While the region was quieter than in previous years, the underlying tensions and conflicts remained unresolved, leaving the people of the Balkan Peninsula to continue their struggle for peace and freedom.

！英汉1）Chinese Saints Training Program中国圣人培训教程

　　Young men who are not married at the age of 30 and are familiar with the following four principles can be canonized as saints and lead the morality of success in human and heaven.

(1) The people's commune system is the ultimate achievement of human civilization: when farmers of nine families move into the public institution of the Old Temple in their old age to serve their unmarried saints, they are appointed as teachers to take care of the public-private relationship between their families and the Old Temple autonomously and to direct the unmarried men of their families to work for the Old Temple's public fields.

　　(2) The basic governmental commune system was the basic guarantee of peace in the world: a monarch and eight bureaucrats formed the basic government, formed the governmental commune, opened up the basic governmental farmland to provide for the government, and corrected the functions of the soldiers and the government, and the implementation of the saintly labor system, which allowed men to return to their homes and marry only at the age of 40, to provide the supporting materials for the people's commune.

　　(3) The imperial system is the right way to unify heaven and mankind: at the age of 12, a woman is ordained as a saintly woman, who represents the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the monarch of the gods, and is called the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of Heaven, the Holy Mother, the Righteous Mother, and the Emperor, who represents the highest glory of heaven and mankind, is the Emperor, who is the Emperor, and who is the rotating Heavenly King of the five continents, leading the counts, the candidates, and the kings of the king to worship the God and the saints and to maintain the saints' function as the emperors of saints.

　　(4) Modern towns establish town temples with 10 oldest male workers and 10 holy soldiers to repent for industrial sins and lead the rebirth of industrial civilization back to agriculture, 100 oldest male workers around the world to form a committee of soldiers and workers (20 soldiers/continent/commission) to unify global morality and control global military power, implement the rule of inaction with the holy soldiers' self-supporting agriculture, and set up the secretariat of the committee with the kings as its members to unify the distribution. Occupations of holy workers in the towns and cities of the continents

　　The saints, emperors, kings, kings of heaven, global soldiers, and workers' councils are related to each other. 8 oldest saints are in retreat at the residence of the left chancellor of the basic government, and they are preparing for the election of the candidates, and the youngest saints are appointed to be left chancellors to support them and to set the paths of the saints in the world: those who are not married at the age of 30 years old are appointed as saints and to guard the paths of the old temples and the public, and the oldest saints are appointed to the position of candidate, which is a middle-ground between the royalties and the counts. The oldest saints were made candidates for the throne and were in the middle of the road between kings and counts. At the age of 50, saints could achieve the ultimate freedom of a peasant family in the country of the candidates, and saints could only enter the world as wives at the age of 30.

　　The first Chauvinist Heavenly King made heaven and earth 'parents to obtain eternal life and was honored as heaven and earth 'parents, said the great father and mother, saints on behalf of God 'said the heavenly father and mother, the world should be called saints for the righteous father and mother, called the teacher for the master and mother, the monarchs and the queen of the Lord of the success of the sacrifice 'said the people's parents

The first Chauvinist Heavenly King conquered the bandits and evil 'to unify the morality of man and heaven, the establishment of God's Kingdom of Heaven is the only way of life for the universe and the heavenly beings, and his parents are honored to be called as the parents of Wensheng Heavenly Parents and the God of the town's old temple to commemorate the first Chauvinist Heavenly King's great achievements.

[things2mustdo]

I live in America, and I am happily married, with kids. I do not write this because I am more manly, or intelligent, or successful than you; I am not. I write this to share the main key to my success: patriarchal, traditional religion.

I am writing from my own religious convictions, which I believe are true. You are free to disagree, but you may still find value here. I have read the writings of other religions, and consider them “True Myths,” useful for their wisdom, even though I may disagree with their theology. Neomasculinity itself is a philosophy that can be accepted by people of different religions, or no religion.

Modern Religion

Modern religion is a feminized wasteland. God exists to impose obligations on men, and excuses women’s evil acts. Faith is blind, irrational, and collectivist.

Men hate modern religion, which is why most churches in the West are demographically imbalanced toward women. Men are bored to death with touchy-feely sermons, endless committee meetings, female gossip, and the losers sitting in the pews around them. This is not how it should be.

Patriarchal Religion

Patriarchal religion is interesting to men. It teaches that God is a man, creator of rationality, slayer of evil men, protector of the innocent:

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. (Psalm 144:1)

In male-led churches, women are taught to be respectful to their fathers, husbands, and legitimate authority. They understand that their role is to raise and care for children, and support their husband’s mission:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22)

In patriarchal religion, female sins, like rebellion, envy, dishonesty, hypergamy, dressing and acting like a whore, and “hamstering” or rationalizing sin are condemned:

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. (Genesis 3:6)

I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. (1 Timothy 2:9-10)

And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. (1 Timothy 2:14)”

This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’ (Proverbs 30:20)

Finding A Virtuous Woman

All women are tempted towards sins like envy, but not all women act on their impulses. In spite of what many observe in the West, I have met many virtuous women: few sexual partners before marriage, respectful, submissive to their husbands, physically fit, feminine, good mothers. Most are in the older generations, especially before the Boomers. Most are involved in traditional religion. There are fewer younger women who are virtuous, and every single one that I have met is involved in traditional religion. They tend to be more rural, from small churches.

Traditional religion can be extremely helpful to finding and vetting women. It provides a community with certain values that you want in a woman, and it provides reliable references for a person’s character. A woman who spent her younger years “out in the world” and came back at 29 be a “born-again-virgin” is a red flag, but a woman in her early 20s who teaches Sunday School and helps with the potluck dinners is far more likely to be wife material. The older women in the church will usually let you know if a woman is a whore.

Patriarchal Religion Helps Control Women’s Sinful Tendencies

Traditional religion acts as a curb (but not a cure) for women’s immoral, rebellious, destructive behavior. My wife goes to a women’s bible study group, where she often receives instruction from older religious women. This includes things like telling her to be submissive to me, lose weight and be healthy, not waste money, have cheerful sex on a regular basis, and to learn how to get some control over her emotions:

Teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands. (Titus 2:3)

One of my wife’s friends once corrected her attitude toward sex, saying: “you need to view your body as a sheath for your husband’s sword.” She now routinely thanks me after we have sex. I am not a natural alpha, but I have little fear that my wife is going to suddenly cut off sex if I have a minor slip up.

Band Of Brothers

With this great power comes great responsibility. As a patriarch, I am commanded to lead my family, instructing my wife and kids on how to act properly, with genuine love for their well-being. I must be on top of my game, be physically fit, and think rationally when my wife is irrational. I attend a men’s Bible study, where we talk about leading as men. Every man in my group owns a gun, and we often go shooting together.

We encourage, support, teach, and correct each other. I have had sharp, intense, discussions with my pastor and men in my church about my own character and life decisions. Things are handled like men, discussed in the open, with real-talk (not rhetorical bullshit), and masculine love and concern for each other. This has aided me in thinking deeply about my life, and correcting bad decisions I have made.

Awhile back we helped another man who was on the verge of divorce. He was working 100 hours a week because he would not stand up to his employer, and had no energy to lead his family. We told him that the marriage counseling he was getting was bullshit (“talk about your feelings more!”), and that his slavish attitude toward his employer was making his wife lose respect for him. The women in our church also talked to his wife about choosing to be respectful and submissive, in spite of her rebellious emotions.

He cut back hours at work, which enabled him able to be captain of his ship again. This, along with training his wife received, helped her become more respectful. Now, his wife is less of a bitch, and they have sex several times a week. I doubt this would have happened without patriarchal religion.

Children

We see that our culture is toxic, feminized, and immoral. Men need a place to raise children apart from these toxins, and church is a great place to do this. My kids go to Sunday School classes where they are taught to be respectful to me, my wife, and legitimate adult authorities. We have several families with well-disciplined children that we can trust won’t corrupt our kids. My wife often takes the kids for play-dates so she can socialize with wholesome women, which is a great alternative to sitting around on social media all day.

Conclusion

Patriarchal, traditional religion will not change female nature, but it can help restrain it. This is how past generations maintained civilization. I can confidently say that traditional religion is the main reason I can maintain a happy marriage in this cesspool of a culture. Those who are not religious might consider other institutions that may provide similar support for their marriage and child-raising.
