Dear little sisters,

Do not allow yourselves to be misled by the pernicious lies spread on liberal media. We are not out to suppress you or devalue you. Quite the contrary; as women, you are our precious vessels. Whether past, present or potential, you are the containers of our seed, and as any righteous, sensible man does with something of value, we are at pains to protect you.

We know you are easily led astray by the shrill voices of the left, who will say and do anything to distort our message. This is understandable, given your inborn weakness and your wildly cycling hormones that so clearly interfere with your reason. Their unholy influence, left unchecked, can even lead you to the conviction that you must have ungoverned sovereignty over your body and all that goes into it.

We ask you, does the chalice determine when it is filled with blessed wine? Does it have a mood swing and decide it would rather be topped up with kombucha or some other hippie swill?

And once filled, does the chalice imagine it prefers emptiness, and so simply dumps its contents into the dirt, before they can be delivered to those who await?
