Why it worked

The post likely resonated due to its contrarian take on a commonly debated topic, using a perceived logical fallacy to challenge a specific group's arguments and sparking discussion through its provocative framing.

Summary

The post highlights a selective interpretation of a biblical verse by atheist women, who quote the part about a wife yielding authority over her body to her husband but omit the subsequent sentence stating the husband also yields authority over his body to his wife.

Structure

1Introduce the selective quote about the wife's authority.
2Reveal the omitted sentence about the husband's reciprocal authority.
3Imply hypocrisy or intellectual dishonesty in the selective quoting.
