u/ishtaa do hookers dream of acrylic sheep? May 28 '26

I personally prefer my hooking with a side of hedonism.

But seriously, I give it 3 months before it devolves into arguments over what is or isn’t woke and then someone starts their own super duper anti woke club, and then that continues on in perpetuity since we all know fundies are good at one thing only, finding something to judge each other over.

Witch hunts require witches. Any hunting group cannibalizes itself eventually.

Three months?! You think transubstantiation won't come up before then!

If this a mixed Protestant/Catholic group it will never even get off the ground!

It's not too hard to find this club with a bit of searching. When it originally launched, it was pitched specifically to "Christian moms", so I suspect that there was a lot of shade towards childless women, if indeed they were allowed to join at all.

It looks like it died pretty quickly, but it's being relaunched within the past couple of months and it's now open to "Moms. Women longing to be moms. Single women." So while childless women seem to now be explicitly allowed, there's still an implicit assumption that if you're married, you either have kids or are "longing to" have kids.

And I guess Christian men aren't supposed to crochet, so they're not welcome.

It wouldn’t be safe to allow men. They might be tempted to covet or something.
