Hey Ladies! This Weird Pastor Dude Wants To Arm Wrestle You To Prove His Inherent Superiority


image:


In what we can only assume is a pitch for a bizarre remake of “Over The Top” starring himself, Pastor Stephen L. Anderson is putting a call out for women to come arm wrestle him. Why? Because he is pretty sure he can beat them, and that this beating of them in arm wrestling will totally prove that men are superior to women, once and for all. In a recent sermon at his Faithful Word Baptist Church, located in a Tempe, Arizona, strip mall, Pastor Anderson complained that he keeps getting all these emails and phone calls like, every day, about how he is a misogynist just for believing that men are superior to women and should be in control of all the things. Weird!

Additionally Pastor Anderson suggests that this word, misogynist — which dates back to Ancient Greece, though often to refer to gay men to suggest that they wanted to bang dudes because they hated women — is a very recent invention. So recent, that he, a 34-year-old man, never even heard this newfangled trendy word as a child! Which is weird because we are about the same age and that word is not new to me at all, as my absurdly sexist elementary school music teacher could attest.

He then blathered on about how God wants men to be in charge, and that’s the way of the world, and women actually want men to be in charge of stuff because they are “not wired to want to be in charge and rule over a man” and WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH a bunch of other stuff about how he wants to be in charge of stuff cause he has a penis.

He then dug deep into the etymology of the word, suggesting that “miso” is a prefix meaning “bad.” Which it isn’t! It is a prefix meaning “hatred of” — like misanthropy or even misosophist, a person who hates knowledge and wisdom, or misogrammatist, a person who hates having to learn words.

[Cirque du So-What]

1. You would think a 'pastor' would have a better command of ancient Greek

although some baptists aren't sticklers about little things like actually going to seminary. Sounds like he's attempting a third-rate ripoff of Andy Kaufman's wrestling women schtick.

[niyad]

2. there was a comedy routine like this?

[Cirque du So-What]

6. Oh, definitely

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Kaufman

You'll find it in the Career section under 'Professional Wrestling.' As I'm not a big fan of Kaufman's humor, wrestling, or misogyny, I decided not to post a link to actual videos.

[msanthrope]

19. Damn, I'm old. nt

[Act_of_Reparation]

24. Why would you think that?

American Protestantism isn't exactly known for its rigorous academics.

[KMOD]

3. What a freak.

Hey Skittles, do you want to take him up on his challenge or should I?

[Skittles]

4. LOL

just another idiot who thinks physical strength trumps all

who lives longer, asshole?

[procon]

5. Is he actually trying to say that 'might makes right'?

If his perceived masculine superiority is solely based on physicality, then he's not only a misogynist, but stupid as well. Any bets that this is a guy with some major penis problems?

[mythology]

28. So if somebody beats him in an arm wrestling competition,

they would be superior to him? Almost as if he were as weak as he perceives women to be. That would be rather awkward for his sense of self.

[Wounded Bear]

7. I've known a few women that would put that wimp on his ass...

Seriously.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

8. To the Women of the US Olympic team

When you get back from the games...

[edbermac]

9. Try giving birth one time, tough guy.

[nolabear]

29. My thought exactly.

[struggle4progress]

10. He uses only the King James Bible, brags about praying for the death of Obama,

and shamelessly whores for attention

I think he's hoping the attention will drum up business for his fire-alarm company

[jmowreader]

37. Oh, you missed...

"preaches in a storefront church" and "is probably a sovereign citizen."

[Mendocino]

11. Next is yo-yo,

then jacks and marbles. Followed by the ultimate scissors-paper-rock contest. That would make this yahoo the greatest member of the he-man womans haters club!

[Bucky]

12. well this is for him

[senseandsensibility]

13. Who are those people?

I like to "get" all humorous references, if possible.

[Bucky]

15. You can't know everything. Simply trying will drive you mad.... MAD!

it's from Shameless.

[Solly Mack]

14. I can't help but wonder if he abuses his wife.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Sure. And while arm wrestling the guy, grab his nuts with the other hand, twist and squeeze

See how long that vaunted male superiority lasts.

[nolabear]

30. LOL! I like you. You're sneaky.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Normally I don't condone non-consensual testicle torsion

but this dude is sort of asking for it.

[niyad]

32. and I would hope that the woman who does this has what we refer to as "dragon talons"

[FrodosPet]

17. Is Tia Stevens (Awesome Kong) available?

I bet she could slam his arm, pull it out of the socket, and slap him with his own hand.

[Photographer]

18. OMG, I actaually watched this. :)

[FrodosPet]

21. It's a guilty pleasure!

A mix of a crude conflict-based ballet, soap opera, and cheezy theater for the masses.

[dembotoz]

20. that is the problem with being called to preach isn't it

one day doing dishes next day starting a church

[Iggo]

22. Get back to me when he can construct a brand new human inside his own body. (n/t)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

23. If beating people at arm wrestling make you superior to them

then my husband should be like a king or a god or something because he is awesome at arm wrestling. I bet he could beat this man easily and even with the arm that he hurt pretty badly a couple years ago. Shut up little man. Arm wrestling does not prove your standing in society. We do value other things (like intelligence, patience, empathy, etc).

[Revanchist]

25. I think I found his home town

[niyad]

33. there is a competition named after our own Skittles??? who knew??

[MichiganVote]

26. Stepford man. We see you guys all the time. Nothing special.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Aha! Now we can call Trump a misosophist and misogrammatist ! . . . nt

[GoDawgs]

34. TRMS showed this same guy in aftermath of Orlando

He was hatin' on LGBT folks in sermon the day after the terror attack in Orlando, he was definitely on the side of the terrorist. Enthusiastically & Unapologetically. He's nuts

[niyad]

35. welcome to du--and thanks for the reminder. I thought the idiot looked familiar.

[GoDawgs]

36. Thanks for the welcome, niyad. nt

[Tabasco_Dave]

38. My girlfriend would beat the living shit out of him.

[niyad]

39. I think we should arrange a tournament for him. .
