| [[Image:He man woman haters club.jpg|thumb|250px|right]] | |
| Misogyny is the hatred or dislike of women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women. While message believers do not like to admit that William Branham was a misogynist, it is clear from his own words that he was. | |

| ''Walked down on the beach there and there laid them women professed to have the Holy Ghost, laying out there, stretched out before men in bathing suits. Hmm. Brother, this might make you vomit, but let me tell you something. I've got a girl coming on myself. I said, "What are you doing, lady." I said, "Isn't that — your father a minister?" Said, "Yes, sir." I said, "Well..." '''Said, "I'm getting a suntan."''' I said, "If my girl ever stretches herself out like that, she's going to get a sun tanning, but it is going to be Charlie Branham's son, '''give her a tan with a barrel slat and bring her home.'''" That's right. I'd tan her. She'd... Well, she'd remember it a long time too. Amen.<ref>51-1003 BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS_ NEW.YORK.NY</ref>

| ''And she pulled out a cigarette. She just shows her colors, what she is, when she does it. Now, let your face get red. And you men that'll let your wife smoke cigarettes, it shows what — who's the boss around the house. That's right. Let them lay out here in these little old beach clothes and things, lay out here before men stripped down... I've got a girl at home. She might lay out to get a suntan too. But brother, if she does, she's going to get a son-tan. It'd be Charlie Branham's son '''with a barrel slat behind her''', bringing her home just as fast as I can bring her. That's right. I'll give her the kind of son-tanning she needs. Yes, sir. I mean that. God give us some good old... You talk about the literacy of Kentucky over here, where some of them old mammies would go back there and raise their young'ns... Why, it'd make you feel ashamed of yourself, then say, "They're ignorant." What's the matter with you? Oh, it's just...<ref>53-0613 GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY_ CONNERSVILLE.IN</ref>

| ''I said, "Yes, ma'am." She gave me the bill. I marked it paid. Started to hand it to her, and one of these here old jig dancers, or ever what it is, come on with that, sawing that fiddle and carrying on, and playing some kind of a little old boogie-woogie music ever what it was; and that girl put on a little old clothes there, about enough to wad a shotgun, and it was pitiful. Listen. I got two girls, and if — if they call suntan. If one of mine, if God lets me live, she'll get a suntan if she puts it on, but Charlie Branham, my daddy's son, will '''give her the tan with a barrel slat just as hard as I can give it to her.''' That's the kind of a tanning she needs. Absolutely. Out there like that, no wonder the corruption of the world. How can you men and women... You men...<ref>53-1129A THE.FAITH.THAT.WAS.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.THE.SAINTS_ WEST.PALM.BEACH.FL</ref>

| ''Let me tell you something. You let one of their girls go out and stay all night, come in the next morning, the way some of yours does, brother, I mean there'd be a difference in that family. Yes, they sure would. '''She'd about blister her all over that hillside with a tobacco stick or something.''' You know that's the truth, and then you call her illiterate. Look. I got two girls too, I don't know what they'll come out. I see them laying out, stretched out in these yards even around here. Didn't think the south would ever allow that. I was surprised. Laying out on the streets, them little old clothes on, getting a sun tanning... My, kids might do that; I don't say they won't. But, brother, they'll get a son-tanning, but it'll my father's son, '''tanning with a barrel slat, as hard as I can, bringing them in.''' That'll be the kind of tanning they'll get. And that's what we need today, some more old fashion, God-sent Holy Ghost, that can...?... baptizing of the Spirit of God. Where the Word, preaching under the Blood a Christ-centered thing that separates. Christ hates sin. The Holy Ghost hates sin. No wonder people hate sin. No wonder people hates the Holy Ghost, I mean, is because they can't love Light when they're walking in darkness. Amen. That's true, and you know it's true.<ref>55-0606 THE.WATERS.OF.SEPARATION_ MACON.GA</ref>

| ''That's what they were doing in Sodom and Gomorrah. The natural use our bodies... The men become so plain to women today, there's not even respect. They'll hardly take off their hat, men will in front of women, and they have no respect for them at all. What did it? The women done it theirself. And you all talking about juvenile delinquency and things. I think it's parent delinquency. Some of you let your girls go out and run around all night with a cigarette-smoking, cocktail-drinking party. Come in the next morning with her clothes half off her, old make-up all over her face and that, And you call the Kentucky mothers ignorant. Write her patch down with those Dogpatch, Lil' Abner, and make fun of the Kentucky mothers. That's some of my people up in there. Let one of them girls...?... it up there and, brother, I'll tell you, '''she wouldn't get out of bed for six months. She'd take a hickory limb and beat what clothes she had left on her off. And if you had something like that back in the church today, you'd have better.''' Amen. God give us the old time mothers. I've got two girls coming. I don't know what they'll be.

| And I've see them laying out on the beaches half naked before man stretching themselves out there, say they get a sun-tanning. Brother, I — I may not live. But if God lets me live and keep my right mind, '''if one of mine does it, she'll get a son-tanning. It'll be Mr. Branham's son with a barrel slat behind her. She'll be tanned all right.'''

| ''And now, some of you talk about the illiteracy of the hillbillies up in Kentucky there. But how the old grandmas with their long bonnets and things on... You know what? They could teach some of you city people how to behave yourself. That's right. Your little Martha Ann come in of a nighttime, and mess-up all over her face, and half drunk, and smoking a cigarette, and blowing it through her nose, and the stomp her foot, and scream at you. Let her do that to one of them old Kentucky mammys one time. She'd top a hickory, boy, or take something, or a barrel slat. When she got through, she'd know who was mammy around there. If you'd do that, you wouldn't have so many wrong men, and boys and girls in the world tonight. Let one of them strip theirselves in some these old dirty clothes like you let your kids wear out here, little old shorts, and ever what they call them. And let them one time. Uh-huh. You would find out how illiterate they were. '''She'd beat her till she'd be so full of welts, you couldn't get the clothes over the top of them. That's what needs to be done tonight.'''

| ''Brother, sister, let me say this in my closing remark: That only remedy back again is for... You'll never... You can preach it to the people; I've done it for years. And the holiness church, the women continue to bob their hair. Every year they let their girls wear these little old shorts and things out on the streets. And then a boy will say something to her, insult her; and you, papa, you want to put the boy in jail. Brother, you're the one that needs to go for letting her go out like that. That's exactly right. And she'll get out here on the beach somewhere and stretch herself out to get a suntan in the backyard, or out somewhere with one of those clothes on, just a towel laying over her or something, and somebody make a remark about her and you'll think, "Oh, well, the little darling wanted her suntan." Listen. I've got two girls; they're little yet. I hope I live to see them women. '''And if one of them ever stretches herself out like, they'll get a son-tanning,''' but it'll be Mr. Charles Branham, my father's son, '''giving them a tanning with a barrel slat.''' And they'll really have one that they'll remember a long time too. I'm...

I don't know what the future holds, but if I ever catch one of them, when she's a young woman, laying out on a beach to get a tan, '''she'll get a tanning all right.'''

| ''The Bible said, Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart." When that sinner looks upon you and lusts after you, though he never touched you, when he answers for adultery, you are guilty of committing it with him. It's what the Bible says. Now, you can take some of these little '''two-by-fours''' if you want to, but that's what God said. That's what Christ said. Now, that's the truth. Oh, God be merciful. What must the great Holy Spirit think when He comes before the Father?

| ''You say, '''"Why you picking on us women?'''" All right, men, here you are. '''Any man that'll let his wife smoke cigarettes and wear them kind of clothes''', shows what he's made out of. He's not very much of a man. That's exactly right. True. '''He don't love her or he'd take a board and blister her with it.''' You know that's the truth. Now, I don't say that to be smart. I'm telling you the truth. That's right. What must the Holy Spirit think? Now, I'm going to put you both together. You that'll stay home on Wednesday night to see some old vulgar play like, "We love Sucy," or something like that, and stay out of prayer meeting, it shows what you're both made out of. That's exactly right. And that's the church. And on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and so forth, of a morning nine or ten o'clock you'll listen to some immoral person like Arthur Godfrey, with all of his dirty, ornery jokes, instead of a secret place in a room, praying and reading your Bible. That's right. You know that. And in your house that slandery, dirty, rock-and-roll, boogie-woogie stuff of Elvis Presley… There's only one difference between Elvis Presley and Judas Iscariot. Judas got thirty pieces of silver for selling out. Elvis got a few million dollars and a fleet of Cadillacs. That's all the difference.<ref>58-0324, Hear Ye Him</ref>

| ''And so, I could imagine getting their little low neck waists and low backs and you know, like they do in these parties they call it evening gowns or whatmore. You know, one time in the Baptist church, I was preaching. And I've always... I've got a little piece of paper I saved out. I — I think it was out of a "Reader's Digest." They said a woman that would strip her clothes on the streets like that, in front a man, disgraces the whole woman race. That's right. It degrades them. No wonder we don't have no respect no more. They've brought it on themselves, dressing themselves out on bathing suits and getting the suntan back, they call them. I got two girls. I don't know whether I'll live, or not, that's to God. If they ever stretch themselves on a beach for a sun tan, they'll get a son-tanning; it won't be from that sun, but it'll be from Mr. Branham's son, '''with a barrel slat, bringing them in just hard as I can.''' Oh, it's a disgrace to think that our nation is polluted.<ref>58-0520 THE.SIGN.OF.THE.TIME_ BANGOR.ME</ref>

| ''Now, you say, "'''Brother Branham, you're really beating us women.'''" All right. Here you men are. '''Any man that'll let his wife smoke cigarettes and wear clothes like that''', it shows what he's made out of. He's not much man to him, a man that would do that. God give us old fashion, borned again, sainted, godly homes. Juvenile delinquency will be no more. It isn't juvenile delinquency; it's parent delinquency. '''They had the old wood shed and the big hickory limb laying over the door. That's discipline in our home.''' All right. You say, "Now, Brother Branham, I... We shouldn't hear that kind of stuff." You should hear it. That's right.<ref>58-0529 JESUS.AT.THE.DOOR_ NEW.HAVEN.CT THURSDAY</ref>
