Lori Alexander is a bold face liar today. In today’s post she comes straight out and links directly to Roosh; a leader in the manosphere/MRA circles (google if you don’t know about those crazies). In the past, she has quoted him and referred to him just as some guy and didn’t bother to link him, but those familiar with his writings picked out instantly who she was talking about. I mention the past reference in this post.
So with that said, she then has the nerve to say this today:
“I don’t know anything about this man so please don’t write to tell me that he promotes something I am against. I am writing this post about this article because he has some very good points.”
She absolutely knows who he is. Lori Alexander has been hanging around the manosphere for years under cover. At the very least, she certainly knew who he was around December of last year when she did her post quoting him.
And then the absolute arrogant command to not write her and tell her this guy is basically no good. No woman reading Lori’s blog seeking biblical womanhood should click over to Roosh.
As a side point, if Roosh can be a secular, non Christian who might have something good to say every once in a while, it would follow that feminists too might have something good to say, but Lori would never ever feature a feminist in a positive light.
Lastly, Lori says this
As women begin to turn back to biblical womanhood, men will follow. This is a great calling upon our lives, women. We are a remnant but told to be salt and light in this wicked culture. Let us make sure we don’t lose our saltiness and blend in with the world. All it has to offer is loneliness and painful regrets of a life poorly lived.
This means then that women are the true leaders! I don’t see how it can mean anything else. If men won’t step up, until women do something first that makes women the leaders and men the followers in the society. Despite all their talk about how women are to be the quiet, meek, submissive followers, at the end of the day its obvious who is really in charge. Besides that, men are part of that remnant too. She makes it sound like only women are the remnant who are to be salt and light and that the men can just kick back.
Things Godly Women Say 
Roosh is so gross. Lori is so concerned about condeming women for working outside of the home, even when it is economically necessary, but seems to have no standards for men. Unbelievable she would quote from him. This is why I have trouble taking so many of the “godly womanhood” blogs seriously.
There was a post the other day on Lori’s site where commenter Robyn seems to be encouraging women to stay with physically abusive men. How chilling is that?

Exactly! They are always talking about how a husband’s “headship” makes him the “spiritual leader”, but here she goes and contradicts herself. Well caught!

Yes, she encourages women to usurp their husbands’ supposed leadership and, of course, she turns it into a “calling”, i.e., another burden for them to try to carry. She’s inadvertently hit the nail on the head when it comes to what Christian leadership is all about, but she manages to twist it and turn it into the sort of burden that’s too heavy to carry because she lays the husband’s salvation on the shoulders of the wife while completely missing the target: don’t aim at “biblical womanhood” (which one should you try to emulate? Jael? Debora? Sapphira? Mary?) but Christlikeness! Stop trying to fit into some contrived, narrow definition of “biblical womanhood” behavior, and let God use your life to influence those around you for good. Lori, I’m afraid, is a poor, poor, poor example of this.
