Many egalitarians feel a strong compulsion to market egalitarianism to complementarians, but aren't too sure how to go about it. Here is a marketing lesson with suggestions.
1. You see a complementarian at church. You go up to him and say, "I'm an egalitarian, let me tell you how you're wrong."
-- That's Direct Marketing.
2. You're at a social gathering with a bunch of friends and see a complementarian. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's an egalitarian, and Boy! can she cook!"
-- That's (deceptive) Advertising.
3. You see a complementarian at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm an egalitarian and I think you are oppressing your wife."
-- That's Telemarketing.
4. You're at a party and see a complementarian. You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and reach up to straighten his tie, smile, and then say, "By the way, I'm an egalitarian ...(long pause)."
-- That's Public Relations.
5. You're at a conference, a complementarian walks up to you and says, "I hear you're one of those radical feminist bitches."
-- That's Brand Recognition.
6. You're at a conference and see a complementarian. You talk to his wife and share recipes from The Zondervan Family Cookbook with http://www.patriciagundry.com written at the bottom of the page.
-- That's Guerilla Marketing.
7. You're in the audience at the annual Southern Baptist Convention when you realize that there could be potential egalitarians all around you. So you stand on your seat and shout, "I'm an egalitarian feminist bitch and I can show you how to be one too!"
-- That's SPAM.
