@absalomedia So long as you note (as@bairdjulia does) that wives are safest when their husbands are committed evangelicals. -
"Committed" is a nuanced variable in play. As evangelicals who spread anti equality ideas against women/LGBTI may see themselves as that
-
Can't argue with the research. Regular male attendance at conservative evangelical church is protective for women.
-
Add in Janice Newham's dissertation on history of Pentecostalism in Australia & how it's still isolationist / introverted as well
-
Paradoxically, that may strengthen marriages. Do you have a reason to think it would harm marriages and women?
-
Isolationism harms. Which correlates on spike in "intermittent" DV stats & other studies where isolation preached from pulpit
-
Also, given that abusers often seek to socially isolate their victims, I'm skeptical of the claim that isolation reduces family violence.
-
I agree. Maybe the evangelicals don't like the fact evidence shows they preach isolationist / exclusionary ideas which propogate this harm?

I don’t think any of us are surprised. They’d side with Hitler if it resonated with their narrow minded readers, editors, and owners.

Must be because research doesn't matter to
@australian -
in this case Julia references a US study rather than doing her own numerical research. it didn't support her assertions.
