I admire a sharp critique but you're ignoring the high prestige given in Christian history to "devout" females, i.e. women who aren't that much fun.

And if reviewing Kant's biography I am sure I would find some investment in Christianity, in perhaps a more reflective mode. But "Christianity" is so often just a traditional mentality looking for a mascot.

Any idea we'd call Christian sexual ethics is not found in the Bible but is found in Imperial Rome. It's how Empires want citizens to behave. As Foucault notes:

"Christianity did not invent this code of sexual behavior. Christianity accepted it, reinforced it and gave to it a much larger and more widespread strength than it had before."
