Does Pastor John Hagee , and many Christian republicans believe women should be subservient to men ?

[link:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/faSJPiACUHc| In this clip , Pastor Hagee indicates that women were using their sexuality to extort gifts from their own husbands. In many other sermons he gave , I noticed that he seemed to look down on women. He repeatedly called them harlots in one for example.

Does this show that conservative men are scared of women taking power away from them ?

These are the same guys who harp on Bible passages about women being "subject" to their hisbands. *gag*

That does not mean they all want to be dictator, just that if they have the power to do something they will.

is the women and POC that follow them anyway when it seems so apparent. Most don't say it clearly but the policies and approaches they support point to that goal of maintaining the historical pecking order. Not being top of the power structure gets them all insecure. Wimps!

But I do know my one GOP female friend “strongly” believes that women should be subservient to men, or at least the husband.

That was when the KKK terrorized black people in the South, when Jim Crow laws made it nearly impossible for black people to vote, and, the big one, before the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.

Ah for the "good old days" when white men ruled everything.

That's what making America great again means to the white supremacists.
Unfortunately, white women haven't figured it out yet. They think they're part of the picture. I'm sure Abbot of Texas and DeSantis of Florida wouldn't mind passing laws to make it very hard for women to vote.
I don't know how they'd do it, but they're very resourceful.

While Falwell had his rinky-dink Baptist college in Lynchburg, my alma mater, Sweet Briar had graduated thousands of independent and classically educated women for more than a century.

Falwell referred to us often as "the harlots on the Hill".
