It's not. But calling ACB a 'handmaiden' in reference to The Handmaid's Tale is.

Are you actually suggesting it's ok to be sexist towards someone if they're in a cult? Really?

Being in a cult is a valid criticism if you can point out if said cult is indeed prolbematic. Being sexist towards someone is not no matter they're religious affiliation.

Again, it's okay to be sexist because someone is in a cult? 

I think I'm done here. I cannot believe that there is anyone that thinks sexism is okay as long as the victim is a part of a cult.
