He moderated a discussion in last summer’s General Association of General Baptists. ![]() It’s religious institutions like the one that Stewart-Allen Clark belongs to that continue to push these narratives - this guy is not a rando, tent preacher, either. It comes from the same line of thinking pushed by our former President, who believed that husbands could not legally rape their wives. The Duggars live not so far from where this Baptist pastor preaches, and I also recall Michelle Duggar reinforcing a line often heard in church growing up, about how women should say “yes” to sex whenever their husbands ask for it. It’s a form of religious gaslighting, and if you don’t think it’s effective, look no further than Anna Duggar, who blamed herself for her husband Josh Duggar’s frequent infidelities. Sermons like these condition some Christian women to believe that, if their husband cheats, they are in part to blame. The sermon is not that dissimilar to the sermons occasionally devoted to the same topic that I sometimes heard in Baptist churches growing up. “You don’t need to look like a butch,” the pastor concluded. Most women can’t be trophy wives, but you know … maybe you’re a participation trophy.” /5GfyqIeQZw- Ron Filipkowski March 6, 2021 “I’m not saying every woman can be the epic trophy wife of all time like Melania Trump. Pastor Stewart Allen-Clark tells congregation that women need to work harder to look good for men.

The story about that time he’d been counseling a skinny man and his wife who “looked like a sumo wrestler,” was a hit with his congregation, too. (“Not a man under 99” finds her attractive in such skimpy attire, he said.) (“About 60 pounds.”) And seemed delighted when he mocked a photo of an older woman in a bandeau. Here is a good summation of some of the other moments in that sermon from the Kansas City Star: They laughed when he explained the difference between a wife and a girlfriend. The Melania Trump call-out is getting all the attention, but that obscures all the fat-shaming. “Most women can’t be trophy wives, but you know … maybe you’re a participation trophy.” Stewart-Allen Clark, a Baptist pastor in Missouri, went viral in recent days because of a sermon he gave in February in which he lectured married women about not “letting themselves go.” In the sermon, he advised women not to give their husbands a “reason to look around,” and encouraged more women to be like “the most epic trophy wife of all time, Melania Trump.”
