re: tiktok video w/ “The audacity.

This seems really bad for multiple reasons.
One reason: It makes me think of some of the redpill stuff about natural hierarchies including some hoe_math stuff about god > man > woman > children in relationships/family/life (I know that idea is not original to hoe_math but he has referred to it a number of times and doesn’t otherwise involve anything much religious[1]. Particularly, it seems like the husband in the tiktok has taken this idea way too much to heart.
[1]: the other instance of hoe_math referencing christianity/religion I know of is: he’s referred to the bible as containing traditional knowledge before. I actually like that, though, since I think that is not something a lot of atheists acknowledge or agree with. (Though, traditional knowledge can be difficult to figure out and a bit dangerous, too.)
The other big reason is the lack of principled approach. Like she points out the hypocrisy of committing adultery then citing the bible for why divorce isn’t an option and he just ignores it. I wonder what he’d say if a priest called him out the same way.
Also the “I own you” thing at the end is gross. I am surprised that anyone in western society would think something like this, even if they were super religious.
I really hope this guy is like top 1% bad (meaning ~99% of ppl are better than this) but IDK. Maybe it’s better outside the US.
