Don’t tell anybody, but I let my wife go vote without me being with her! 😉

The Story Behind the “Unsupervised Woman” T-Shirt It’s being said that the now infamous “Unsupervised Woman” t-shirt is a feminist statement. So, my wife and I reached out to @mrs_alyse who created it. One thing is certain: she is no feminist. She’s a wife who has never been with another man other than her husband. She isn’t a career woman but stays at home and cares for her whole family, including her aging parents. She does have an Etsy page where she creates graphic designs for t-shirts as a creative outlet. And she created the “Unsupervised Woman” t-shirt, not as a feminist statement but a facetious one. She simply found the "Supervised Woman" statement to be ridiculous. Furthermore, she and her husband have been struggling with multiple miscarriages followed by years of infertility. They greatly desire to have children. So, comparing her to Lindsay Clancy was extremely hurtful to them. Now, you may think her making the t-shirt was unwise. At first, I thought it was a fleshly response. But I’m no longer certain that is the case. You may even honestly think that "Unsupervised Woman" would be a perfect feminist slogan. Even if Alyse misunderstood what was mean by "Unsupervised Woman," she didn't deserve the treatment she received from Christian men. Whatever you may think, this woman is a real person who deserves to be treated with dignity and not disdain. Her intent was not to promote feminism and her life has been lived in seeking to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I keep hearing that the Ogden men were taken out of context. Maybe that is true. But Alyse''s intentions were definitely misconstrued. Call me a white knight if you want. But I will continue to be a man who seeks to stand up for women who get trampled on this site by bullies - male and female. There are real feminists who are evil and deserve a strong rebuke. I've done this many times myself. But let's make certain a woman is actually a feminist before we go after her and treat her one. Otherwise, we may hurt a genuine sister in Christ who simply disagreed with us in a way we didn't like. How often we forget - me included - that the people we oppose on this platform are real people with real feelings, real families, and real struggles. Maybe we can stop to think about that next time before we create a meme to shame someone and belittle them.

The way some Christian men treat women on this platform is shameful! Every Christian woman I've seen has condemned Lindsay Clancy as evil and vile. Even if you disagree with how a Christian woman has responded to the whole "unsupervised woman" kerfuffle, why stoop to compare her to Lindsay Clancy? The whole "I will out meme you and out shame you" is ungodly behavior to say the least. For the record, I don't care if you call me a white knight. I call it being a godly man who seeks to stand up for women against dark knights.

It's vital to understand that when heavy handed pastors want to beat a wayward sheep that they want to control, they will weaponize repentance. And when they want to excuse their own sin, they will weaponize forgiveness.
