They speak of church cultures that treated women's bodies
as inherently problematic and seductive, that assigned a woman's worth to her sexual purity or procreative prowess, that questioned women's ability to
think rationally or make decisions without the leadership of men, that blamed victims of sexual abuse for inviting the abuse or tempting the abuser, that shamed women who did not «joyfully submit» to their husband and find contentment in their roles
as helpers and
homemakers, and that effectively silenced victims of abuse by telling women and children that reporting the crime would reflect poorly on the church and thus damage the reputation of Christ.
