Hey Ladies! This Weird Pastor Dude Wants To Arm Wrestle You To Prove His Inherent Superiority


image:


In what we can only assume is a pitch for a bizarre remake of “Over The Top” starring himself, Pastor Stephen L. Anderson is putting a call out for women to come arm wrestle him. Why? Because he is pretty sure he can beat them, and that this beating of them in arm wrestling will totally prove that men are superior to women, once and for all. In a recent sermon at his Faithful Word Baptist Church, located in a Tempe, Arizona, strip mall, Pastor Anderson complained that he keeps getting all these emails and phone calls like, every day, about how he is a misogynist just for believing that men are superior to women and should be in control of all the things. Weird!

Additionally Pastor Anderson suggests that this word, misogynist — which dates back to Ancient Greece, though often to refer to gay men to suggest that they wanted to bang dudes because they hated women — is a very recent invention. So recent, that he, a 34-year-old man, never even heard this newfangled trendy word as a child! Which is weird because we are about the same age and that word is not new to me at all, as my absurdly sexist elementary school music teacher could attest.

He then blathered on about how God wants men to be in charge, and that’s the way of the world, and women actually want men to be in charge of stuff because they are “not wired to want to be in charge and rule over a man” and WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH a bunch of other stuff about how he wants to be in charge of stuff cause he has a penis.

He then dug deep into the etymology of the word, suggesting that “miso” is a prefix meaning “bad.” Which it isn’t! It is a prefix meaning “hatred of” — like misanthropy or even misosophist, a person who hates knowledge and wisdom, or misogrammatist, a person who hates having to learn words.

I am putting a call out to you to come brain wrestle me. Why? Because I am pretty sure that I can beat you because you and your ilk are not evolutionary or intellectually wired to be in charge and rule over women. Boo-ya!!
