Evangelical churches believe men should control women. It can lead to domestic violence

Because it isn't even an article attempting to challenge christians and their held beliefs. If that were so, she'd have gone and cited bible verses to legitimise amongst christian readers, her claim regarding "perpetrators us[ing] their Christian beliefs to justify abuse". She is right that protestants hold bible as godly authority on all manner of things, why not give herself a leg to stand on in confronting christians on this topic? Establishing a proper dialogue?

The only thing this article and articles like these achieve is consolidation amongst its regular readership a negative outlook -perhaps even disdain for christianity. This'll only create not internal conflict, but external pressure on individual christians.
