That sexist Paul the apostle was at it again, with his denouncement of women in front of the children, especially Timothy.

Why, he told Timmy not to listen to old wives' tales, putting in the side note that these lead to nonsense and faithlessness. We happen to appreciate all these stories circulated on the Net by depressed housewives about God’s unconditional love. Our hearts are touched by the sentimental value of these little stories about children and how their sweet little spirits overrule the mothers’ harshness and discipline. Over and over again, we are shown that our duties as parents (husbands not welcome, only fathers, and that on a limited basis), consist of making sure we do not discipline children and to make sure we spend a lot of time imitating their innocent behavior. It is no wonder that men do not make good church members.
