===Opposing women's higher education ===
Bishop Macedo stated in a 2019 sermon that daughters should not be allowed to seek out [[higher education]], because if they do they will be "smarter than their husbands", and that he personally would not allow his daughters to go to college because he believes that an educated woman cannot have a happy marriage: "When they [my daughters] went out, I said they would just go to high school and they wouldn't go to college. My wife supported me, but the relatives found it absurd. Why don't you go to college? Because if you graduate from a particular profession, you will serve yourself, you will work for yourself. But I don't want that, you came to serve God. Because if (…) she was a doctor and had a high degree of knowledge and found a boy who had a low degree of knowledge, he would not be the head, she would be the head. And if it were the head, it would not serve God's will. I want my daughters to marry a male. A man who has to be head. They have to be head. Because if they are not head their marriage is doomed to failure."<ref>{{Cite news|first=Ingrid|last=Soares|title=Bispo Edir Macedo diz que mulher não pode ter mais estudo que o marido|language=pt-br|trans-title=Bishop Edir Macedo says that a woman must not have more education than her husband|newspaper=Correio Braziliense|date=24 September 2019|url=https://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/app/noticia/brasil/2019/09/24/interna-brasil,789307/bispo-edir-macedo-diz-que-mulher-nao-pode-ter-mais-estudo-que-o-marido.shtml}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20220427165325/https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/10/bishop-daughters-should-be-uneducated-so-theyre-not-smarter-than-husbands/ English translation by Michael Stone from the Patheos website, 5 October 2019.]</ref>
