Meet Elizabeth Bruenig, columnist for the Washington Post. She saw it for the first time today and tweeted what she saw. You can watch the dominoes fall, one after another: She started with marital rape, moved on to slavery, then the two child molesters, and I think at that point she went on overload, which is common. Psychopaths generally shock normal people, albeit unintentionally. In Doug Wilson’s case, the shock is intentional. Regardless, welcome to Doug Wilson’s con game, Elizabeth Bruenig. You haven’t even begun to scratch the surface.
Here are her tweets:
This is such destructive, unscholarly, psychotic theology, and it turns churches into dens of iniquity. It makes me sick to see self-described Christians spreading this poison. pic.twitter.com/tmVkPIUl1d

Troubling especially when considered in the context of his past sheltering of convicted pedophiles: https://t.co/lkYQruQfUR

I’m not really indignant, Doug, I just don’t think sex is inherently inegalitarian. Nor do I think “authority and submission” are inalienable aspects of marital sex. https://t.co/bFctwcMSL3

this is probably not worth asking, but: do you really think babies are…’colonizers,’ as you wrote, or are they the ‘colonies,’ and their fathers the ‘colonizers’? One wonders exactly what road we’re going down if so. https://t.co/ZkFRfLkNiP

Here’s the passage we’re discussing, for the uninitiated. pic.twitter.com/HcGNMyRr8p

Quite literally, though, children are not ‘colonies’ of their fathers. They’re half their mothers’, Doug! The woman’s body is just as active in the process of making life, even if you can’t see it. Men don’t just ‘plant’ babies in women. Read up! https://t.co/NlhrKnYb1E
