For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Missionaries are all 18-21-ish, and they get trained for like a month. There's no way that's an official answer in any way, they're just repeating whatever some other missionary told them. I guess it kinda makes sense with the "multiply and replenish the earth" line from Genesis 1:28, but that's probably as far as the thought process goes.

And yeah, the actual origins are probably somewhere between the more official "take care of women" line and "wanted to bang women" line. But the fact remains that many men didn't bang all of their wives (or so they claim), so it's probably a mix of both.
