I've said this before, but

I'll say it again. Fred Clark is really smart. Who else says things like 'exegetical kung-fu masters?'

And his commentary on the "Prairie Muffin" phenomenon is right on target. I'm not going to link to these gals, because I'm a little afraid of them, but in a quick nutshell, they're from among the ranks of those homeschooling, modestly-dressed, submit-to-husband's-authority type gals, one of whom has issued something called the "Prairie Muffin Manifesto." About which Fred says:

Yes, yes, I know they're naive innocents from the heartland. They're not familiar with the sophisticated, urbane euphemisms of our over-sexualized Blue-State Babylon. It's purely unintentional and coincidental that they've chosen a term for their reductionist, stunted notion of the role of women that is also a term used as vulgar slang for female genitalia and thus, also, as a reductionist and misogynist metonymy employed by others expressing a different, but parallel, stunted view of the role of women.

Pure coincidence. Just as it's a coincidence that this whole creepy "biblical manhood and womanhood" cult just coincidentally uses terms like "dominance," "submission" and "granting headship" that all sound like the names of some of the kinkier subgroups of an adult usenet forum.

And it's pure coincidence that this particular subgroup, which just happens to have statistically higher rates of all manner of abuses domestic, also just happens to choose a creepily pedophilic-sounding nickname for their youngest children."

Update: There's more here on this topic from Dr. Violet Socks at Reclusive Leftist, and Echidne of the Snakes has more here and here. Truly weird shit, in my opinion.
