Scripture, as it turns out, is pretty based re: women.

THREAD of 75 verses

1. Ephesians 5:23
“For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.”
2. 1 Corinthians 11:3-7
“But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
3. 1 Corinthians 11:7
“A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.”
4. 1 Timothy 2:11
“Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.”
5. 1 Timothy 2:12
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”
6. 1 Timothy 3:12
“Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.”
7. Titus 2:4-5
“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, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
8. 1 Peter 3:1-6
“Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.”
9. Colossians 3:18
“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.”
10. Ephesians 5:33
“However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
11. Ephesians 5:25-27
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.”
12. 1 Peter 3:7
“Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.”
13. Sirach 25:16-25
“I would sooner keep house with a lion or a dragon than keep house with a spiteful wife. A woman’s spite changes her appearance and makes her face as grim as a bear’s. When her husband goes out to dinner with his neighbours, he cannot help heaving bitter sighs. No spite can approach the spite of a woman, may a sinner’s lot be hers! Like the climbing of a sandhill for elderly feet, such is a garrulous wife for a quiet husband. Do not be taken in by a woman’s beauty, never lose your head over a woman. Bad temper, insolence and shame hold sway where the wife supports the husband. Low spirits, gloomy face, stricken heart: such is a spiteful wife. Slack hands and sagging knees: such is the wife who does not make her husband happy. Sin began with
a woman, and thanks to her we must all die. Do not let water find a leak, nor a spiteful woman give free rein to her tongue.”
14. 1 Timothy 5:14
“So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, rule their households, and give the enemy no occasion to revile us.”
15. Proverbs 31:27
“She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.”
16. 1 Timothy 2:13-15
“For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with propriety.”
17. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
“Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.”
18. Genesis 3:16
“To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you’.”
19. Genesis 2:22-23
“And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
20. Romans 7:2
“For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.” 21. 1 Timothy 5:8
“But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
22. 1 Corinthians 7:1-3
“Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.”
23. 1 Corinthians 7:4
“For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote your- selves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
24. Leviticus 27:3-5
“A boy between the ages of one month and five years is valued at five shekels of silver; a girl of that age is valued at three shekels of silver.”
25. Numbers 30:3-15
“If a woman vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a pledge, while within her father’s house in her youth, and her father hears of her vow and of her pledge by which she has bound herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. But if her father opposes her on the day that he hears of it, no vow of hers, no pledge by which she has bound herself shall stand. And the Lord will forgive her because her father opposed her. If she marries a husband, while under her vows or any thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she has bound herself, and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. But if, on the day that her husband comes to hear of it, he opposes her, then he makes void her vow that was on her, and the thoughtless utterance of her lips by which she bound herself. And the Lord will forgive her. (But any vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, anything by which she has bound herself, shall stand against her.) And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the Lord will forgive her. Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
26. Judges 9:54-55
“Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can’t say, ‘A woman killed him.’” So, his servant ran him through, and he died. When the Israelites saw that Abimelek was dead, they went home.”
27. Judges 16:16
“She tormented him with her nagging day after day until he was sick to death of it.”
28. 2 Samuel 3:29
“May the house of Joab never be unafflicted by men who suffer from running sores or leprosy or effeminacy or who are doomed to die by the sword or are in need of bread.”
29. Tobit 6:17-18
“Then when you are about to have intercourse with her, both of you must first get up to pray. Beg the Lord of heaven that mercy and pro- tection be granted you. Do not be afraid, for she was set apart for you before the world existed. You will save her, and she will go with you. And I assume that you will have children by her, and they will be like brothers for you. So do not worry.” When Tobiah heard Raphael’s words that she was his kinswoman, and of the lineage of his ancestral house, he loved her deeply, and his heart was truly set on her.”
30. Esther 1:17-20
“For the queen’s conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she would not come.’ This very day the Persian and Median women of the nobility who have heard about the queen’s conduct will respond to all the king’s nobles in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect and discord. Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. Then when the king’s edict is proclaimed throughout all his vast realm, all the women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest.”
31. Esther 1:22
“He sent letters to all parts of the empire, to each province in its own script and language, proclaiming that every man should be the ruler of his own home and should say whatever he pleases.”
32. Psalm 45:11
“Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.”
33. Psalm 128:3
“Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.”
34. Proverbs 5:1-14
“My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my under- standing, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless, lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”
35. Proverbs 5:18-23
“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love. Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman? For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.”
36. Proverbs 7:11-12
“She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home; now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.”
37. Proverbs 7:21-23
“With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaugh- ter like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.”
38. Proverbs 11:22
“Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.”
39. Proverbs 12:4
“A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.”
40. Proverbs 19:13-14
“A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof. Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.”

You are 100% wrong, Lila. EVERY SINGLE Patristic who touched this said woman sinned first and did so because she tried to behave like a man: Chrysostom, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, both Gregorys.

(Why the man has authority over his wife:)

“If it be asked, what has this to do with women of the present day? It shows that the male sex enjoyed the higher honor. Man was first formed; and elsewhere he shows their superiority. "Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man." (1 Cor. xi. 9.) Why then does he say this? He wishes the man to have the preeminence in every way; both for the reason given above, he means, let him have precedence, and on account of what occurred afterwards. For the woman taught the man once, and made him guilty of disobedience and wrought our ruin. Therefore, because she made a bad use of her power over the man, or rather her equality with him, God made her subject to husband.

POOE FRANCIS: A BRIEF, PRO-LGBT HISTORY: “Here appears the possibility of blessings for couples of the same sex.” For popesplainers, here’s a devastating timeline, which shows how long this homoheresy has been the Sankt Gallen plan (w/ pics in thread):

-1990s pro-gay-blessings Sankt Gallen Cardinals McCarrick and Danneels begin arranging Bergoglio’s election (in 2005 then 2013 conclaves), saying he is the only one who can reform the Church according to their designs
-2010: Abp. Bergoglio supports gay civil unions in Buenos Aires
-Oct, 2014: the “relatio” (mid-term report) of new Pope Francis’s first synod extols the “positive aspects of same-sex relationships,” sets world in uproar
-2020: Pope Francis announces to the world in “Francesco” documentary that gay civil unions are necessary, vid below
-June, 2021: CDF Ladaria releases document DENYING the possibility of gay couple blessings, which angers Francis
-2020-2021: Ladaria had been censuring gay-union advocate and leader of the German Synodal Way
-late 2022: Francis seeks to demote Ladaria and REPLACE HIM WITH WILMER as doctrinal chief! (Cardinals block this)
-summer 2023: Francis makes the 2nd most pro-LGBT bishop—Tucho Fernandez—Ladaria’s replacement instead of Wilmer, just weeks before the Synod opens
-summer 2023: Francis DISINVITES spurned Ladaria from attending the Synod
-Sept/Oct 2023: Francis/Fernandez answer the dubia of Cardinal Dominik Duka, with doctrinal REVERSAL, stating that both members of a gay couple can be blessed simultaneously
-Dec 18, 2023: Francis/Fernandez publish a Declarario reversing 2023 years of teaching against formally cooperating with gay sodomy via blessing

@FeserEdward @michaeljknowles Suarez holds family as more natural than the state, but the state as more perfect to satisfy denizens’ needs

Postlibs would surprise to find that men are “by nature free…subject to no one” (DL 3.1.1).

Suarez gives 2 reasons why the state is needed bc not *as* natural as fam: @FeserEdward @michaeljknowles #1: per Aristotle, bc man is a social animal needing at least to live in family;
#2: BUT (very, very close to Hobbes) families not united in a small state would have no means of averting/avenging wrongs. (DL 3.1.4).

As u can see, this is still a very real kind of contract theory

The female vote is immoral: under this system, those who issue decrees are NOT those who enforce those decrees

The foundational principle of all societies is war, and even if a society LARPs as if women can join the military, MEN are required to enforce geopolitics

THREAD Helen Kendrick Johnson, writing in 1913 (A Survey of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States and a Discussion of the Claims and Arguments of Its Foremost Advocates):

“Democratic government is at an end when those who issue decrees are not identical with those who can enforce those decrees. … Upon this depended stability, and without stability there is nothing. Stability required a majority of men. … Woman’s only relation to this defence is that of beneficiary, and therefore her relation to the laws with which that defence is associated must be one of advice and not of control.”

The only way for America to survive is to get a true conservative President who nominates only SCOTUS justices who pledge to overrule substantive due process…

(THREAD) Undoing the unconstitutional SDP at law would mean the following things:

1) States would again be free to have Christian establishments (as they did before Everson v. Board of Ed (1947));

“It is a mistake to maintain that woman’s rights are the same as man’s. Women in war or Parliament are outside their proper sphere & their position there would be the desperation & ruin of society. Woman, created as man’s companion, must so remain...always under his power” THREAD “With religion’s decline, cultured women have lost their sense of shame along w/ their piety. Many, in order to take up tasks ill-befitting their sex, took to imitating men. Others abandoned the duties of wives, for which they were formed, to be cast into the current of life”

The liturgy is no more a Thomistic substance than flesh, bone, or the human hand is. (If it were, it would mean the Eucharist would NOT be a substance!)

Final answer.
