Due to META and other social media websites that seem to be attempting to suppress this information, I feel that it’s important to publish this for anyone wishing to read it. Whether you are from Ohio and would like to read a document about one of your current Senators or you’re interested in reading about the current Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States.
I won’t be saying too much more about it one way or another. Read below or download it to your own computer. I will let it speak for itself, my friends.

Misogyny: The Poisoned Well and the Crushing Weight of Toxic Masculinity
Misogyny, the hatred or dislike of women, is a pervasive force that has shaped societies for centuries. It is intricately linked to the concept of toxic masculinity, a rigid set of expectations that define manhood through dominance, aggression, and a suppression of emotions. This toxic brew creates a culture where men feel pressure to conform to a narrow definition of masculinity, while simultaneously fostering resentment towards women who challenge these norms. They often find support for their hatred of women in specific religious communities – especially so in Pentecostal churches.
Religious scholar Dr. Michael S. Moore aptly describes this phenomenon in his work, “Many men who struggle with issues of masculinity and their place in the world often latch onto interpretations of scripture that reinforce a rigid hierarchy and dominance structures, particularly when it comes to gender roles.”
This selective interpretation of religious texts fuels the flames of misogyny, justifying the devaluation and control of women. Passages that were never intended to be discriminatory are weaponized to create a narrative of male superiority.
A Twisted Gospel: Faith Distorted
Religion, intended as a source of comfort and guidance, has been weaponized to justify hatred and discrimination. A distorted interpretation of religious texts has been used to create a narrative of fear and exclusion. The demonization of LGBTQ+ individuals, based on selective readings and misinterpretations, has caused immeasurable harm.
Dr. Marcia B. Dunn, a renowned scholar of religious history, echoes this sentiment: “When religion is used to promote a specific and often oppressive view of gender roles, it not only harms women but also limits men’s emotional and spiritual growth.”
Recognizing that many religious traditions promote love, compassion, and acceptance is essential. However, when these values are subverted to serve a hateful agenda, the consequences are devastating. The misuse of religion to justify discrimination can lead to the formation of insular communities, where members are shielded from diverse perspectives and critical thinking.
One particularly egregious example of this misuse of scripture is the mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. The introduction of the word “homosexual” for the first time in the Revised Standard Version obscured the original meaning of the text. This error has been widely criticized by scholars, who argue that the original language referred to specific sexual practices rather than sexual orientation. This mistranslation has had a profound impact on how LGBTQ+ individuals are perceived within certain religious communities.
