Info on the bigot Nick Adams: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Adams_(commentator)
Relevant part:
Adams opposes education regarding LGBTQ topics in schools and said that only a “bad parent” would take their children to see a drag queen show.[18] LGBTQ Nation, an online news magazine, has alleged Adam’s apparent hypocrisy on this topic as he has suggested taking children to Hooters.[18]
I honestly don’t even know what “iron sharpens iron” is supposed to mean.
I just assume it’s code for “sword fighting.”
You know, they rub their irons together to get each other all nice and pointy.
I’ve heard it as “steel sharpens steel” but in the context of male children needing a male role model. I think when boys don’t have a male role model growing up they end up like Nick Adams thinking they need to be an alpha male all the time.
They’re referencing a bible verse
Funny how the part they leave out is gender nonspecific, it just says person.
I wouldn’t say Proverbs is a particularly woke book of the bible, the verse right before that one is, “A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.”
That’s not really the point. The point is they pick and choose what parts, even the parts of the parts, to follow. It’s almost like they don’t care what the book says unless it agress with them exactly already.
