I added the hyperlink in the word “mangina” because, having never heard it, I made the mistake of looking it up. Apart from that, the text is original. Here’s the original source:

I can just hear the gynocentric delusions starting to melt. You can’t imagine what it’s like to be a man. No one’s asking you. Regardless of what your supplicating mangina tells you, he is alone with you. And you will never be able to understand or satisfy his desires in the way that he is apparently bending over backwards to do for you. Pastor Wilson is presenting some brave truths here, painful truths that most poor idiots are going to miss. Romance is a story we tell ourselves, but it doesn’t move the gears. Your happy little home was bought at the price of a man’s freedom.

Pastor Wilson is offering the true pretense of marriage, finally with the fraudulent language of idealism stripped away. If a man marries without being convinced of these things, he enslaves himself to a falsehood. This is the world that men must live in and no other.

“It is not necessary to take someone aside privately after they have just done something publicly.”

This is as good a place as any to make note of the fact that public controversy is not bound by the rules of confrontation laid out for us in Matthew 18. When Peter sinned at Antioch, Paul rebuked him publicly, face to face (Gal. 2:11), and he did this on the spot. It is not necessary to take someone aside privately after they have just done something publicly. I do not know how many times I have been asked about this. Let’s say I have written critically of a recently published book — ‘Did you contact Tony Campolo privately before you wrote the book review?’
