The Genesis story still has a phenomenal grip on all of us. The idea that women did not exist originally, and were created from man’s rib, and that they are temptresses who lure men into sin and have great power by virtue of their supposed weakness will not die. I doubt that the overwhelming fear that many religious and conservative people have of, not just sex, but of the mere knowledge of sex and the women who represent the vulnerability of men’s desire is comprehensible to most normal people (hopefully, like you and I).
These individuals, such as Alito, Barrett, Thomas, Mikey J., and the other fanatics pushing a religious agenda are much more dangerous than we have imagined. They have immense influence and they are seen and see themselves as the emissaries of God fighting the evil of non-believers. Nothing is too extreme for them and their corruption and extremism are just evidence of their association with good and with God. To underestimate their ability and their willingness to tear everything down is foolhardy. Liberal/progressives are late to this war and if we don’t up our game and our commitment, we will not recognize this country in the next decade.
