  Hes clearly a man, never referred to as anything but a man.

  A person calls them one, doesn't make them one—nor did I state explicitly they weren't a man.

  How did you get queer from this?

  How did I get Queer from a 'dude' doing feminine-coded labor?

    Fellas, is it feminine to bring water home?

    Yall are so quick to label people, putting them in neat little boxes, and declaring them queer if they dont conform to your ideas of gender roles.

      Imagine being a single man back then: you’d die of thirst!

      But that’s exactly what conservatives do: if a person doesn’t conform to gender roles, when the don’t act like a man or a woman, then they’re otherized, treated differently as a resulted. It’s conservatives who insist that only men and women exists and there is nothing else except moral debauchery.

      Queer then is an inclusive term that captures genders outside of men and women and just…goes along with it. Because it’s fine.

        So we have an example of yall doing it here. Where’s your example of conservatives doing this?

        We’re well familiar with your story of who conservatives are. Problem is, it doesn’t match who we really are.

      No, but I also don’t live in the Roman Imperial Province of Judea in 20 AD.

      Tell me, what work in our culture do you think is “women’s work?”

        All work is womens work. Are you trolling?

      Tell me, if it wasn't notable—i.e. odd—i.e. Queer for a 'man' to be carrying water how the heck could 'a man carrying water' be enough identification for Jesus' disciples to identify to correct person to lead them to the correct house.

      If as you imply anyone would be carrying water what kept them from walking up to the wrong dude doing it and getting betrayed to the Romans (before it was time time to be betrayed by the Romans)?

      Would not further the person with ties to Jesus being Queer fit in perfectly with the ministry of someone who pointedly associated with social outgroups such as sex workers, Samaritans, and tax collectors?

        Sure, Id buy that there were gender roles in 20ad, but carrying a jug of water? Everyone gets thirsty.
