Marlin & Jaran respond to a critique that somebody left on Chester Weaver’s “Apostasy of the 1960s.”

“Funny how it’s always the things that the women are doing, huh? It is very curious that conservative anabaptist women are seemingly expected to maintain plain dress and head coverings, while seemingly the majority of anabaptist men dress exactly the same as the father at 9:02. Isn’t it interesting how the average conservative anabaptist man look like every other middle aged dad, but the women are expected to still be dressing with 19th century aesthetics? It’s comically absurd that there are conservative anabaptist men that will lecture women for “worldly dress standards” while wearing blue jeans and a flannel. Don the broad falls and the suspenders, and then maybe this sentiment wouldn’t look so blatantly misogynistic.”
