Mormon Apologetics & Misogyny: The Case of William Schryver

[_Kishkumen]

Hello Mr. Schryver,

Your devout Mormon wife delights in you calling women bitches, and insinuating another is whore?

You never know. People get into the strangest things. But don't begrudge her the small pleasures the two might derive from his naughties. Heaven knows she's paid a steep enough price for them.

Keep in mind folks, that there is no evidence that Will's wife is aware of his disgusting antics. He now claims her as his only supporter, but all we have really is his say so. He cannot name people who are willing to go by their real names and support him openly. All he has are a bunch of sock puppets and insinuations that other LDS scholars at MI are laughing along with him. Now he wants to bring his wife into the matter. I find it hard to believe any female would laugh along with Will in what he has said towards other women, especially his wife. But if it does turn out to be true, then all this means really is that Will's wife is a disgusting character, too. But then if you think about it, she would have to have some serious insecurity issues, to marry a closet homosexual who gets his rocks off by belittling women while hiding from men who challenge him.

I agree with this portion of your post. We have no idea what she really thinks. All we know is what Will tells us. The whole thing is lame. "My wife thinks it's funny, so it must not be sexist like you all say!"

Uhuh. I can't imagine any women in the LDS Church who buy into LDS sexism. Oh, wait...

There are plenty of LDS women who do! Most of these women would probably be no more amused with Will's posture here than we are, but his wife could be a special case. I don't know that it matters all that much, or that I care all that much.

Hello Mr. Schryver,

Your devout Mormon wife delights in you calling women bitches, and insinuating another is a whore? What does your "Wenchette" daughter think of you calling women bitches, and insinuating another is a whore?

Your devout Mormon wife delights in you calling women bitches ...

I do not, as a matter of general practice, refer to "women" in such a manner--as my substantial posting history clearly indicates.

In any case, I believe I have already given my definitive answer concerning your questions:

"… I did, in fact, obliquely refer to beastlie and dissonance (once each, as I recall) with variants on the appellative "bitch." But it was concluded that my judgment was so near to the facts of the matter that I could not be convicted by a jury of my peers."

You keep saying this.

And yet you remain fixed on the target ...

He did say he thought it was entertaining. So do I, for that matter, in a sort of assisted-living-center production of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" way.

Target? LOL. Amusement, Will. Amusement.

Do you feel under the gun for some reason?

Since you say this place is of no consequence, that we have no influence, and so forth, why would you even speak of "targeting"?

I am taking you at your word when you say that I am helping you rise in the esteem of your peers while torpedoing my own credibility with them (not that I ever had any in LDS apologetic circles).

And, you say you are eating it up, so, I guess we are both happy campers right about now, eh?

I am really stoked about helping out your career like this. I am invested in seeing you succeed. I want to watch your second career as professional LDS apologist really take wings now. Every time I "attack" you, the only possible effect I could have is to propel you ever higher on the ladder of apologetic success. I will give you lots of wonderful anecdotes to chortle about with your pals Paul Y. Hoskisson, Royal Skousen, Louis Midgley, and the rest of the gang.

Nothing has me quite so chuffed right now as imagining you guys slapping each other on the back while you laugh about how you have gotten the better of us all. I smile to myself, marveling in the great divine plan, in which I played a very humble and minuscule role, that has brought you into the apologetic daylight, where all will be able to bask in the glow of your unique genius.

Ever onward, Will Schryver. You magnificent bastard. Strike a chord with gusto on your favorite guitar. Sing a song about slaying the apostate clowns of MDB. Make sweet love to your "wench." And throw some popcorn down that golden gullet while you and Royal examine your timeless contributions to the Great Cause. I am just happy to have seen it all unfold. The thought will provide me that one extra little spark of warmth in my lonely corner of the Telestial Kingdom.

ROFLMAO!!!
