Austin Forsyth and Joy-Anna Duggar: Stirring Up Controversy by Promoting a Men"s Only Camping Retreat!
Austin Forsyth and Joy-Anna Duggar recently celebrated their one year anniversary. Not their wedding anniversary — they got married in May — but of when they became an item.
Even such a short ways into their relationship, it seems that Austin and Joy-Anna don’t mind spending some time apart. And the context for that is bound to be controversial.
You know how fans have been asking the extended Duggar family to try to keep a lid on their politics? Well … those fans should brace themselves for disappointment.
Austin Forsyth is 23 and Joy-Anna Duggar is 19.
These two are one of the younger Duggar pairs, but they’re clearly making up for lost time.
Following a lifelong friendship, their courtship began with Austin sending Joy-Anna flowers.
The couple got to graduate from side-hugs last May, when they finally got married.
And Joy-Anna is already pregnant.
They got married pretty quickly, even by Duggar standards.
In fact, the size of Joy-Anna’s baby bump is fueling rumors that this wedding might have been rushed after some hypothetical rule-breaking led to a premarital pregnancy.
You know, making it one of those “shotgun weddings.”
Even if that’s true, we doubt that the Duggars would ever let it be publicly confirmed that Joy-Anna got pregnant out of wedlock, if that’s what really happened.
Jim Bob is, in his own twisted way, very concerned with the family’s public image.
Even with the questions lingering of whether or not they had some “secret front hugs” of the pregnancy-inducing kind before getting married …
(A thing scandalous only in the world of the Duggars, where Joy-Anna effectively remained Jim Bob’s property until getting married)
… These two have seemed to go out of their way to show that their politics are heavily on the conservative side.
That’s not a surprise, exactly, considering that they’re Duggars.
But even in a family where Joy-Anna’s brother-in-law, Derick Dillard, keeps condemning trans teenager Jazz Jennings, it seems like Austin and Joy-Anna are racing to prove that they’re the most staunchly conservative in the bunch.
(Maybe it’s sincere, maybe they’re trying to compensate for a premarital indiscretion … we just don’t know)
Fans have implored the couple to keep that to themselves. A lot of people who don’t agree with the Duggars watch to keep up with … well, with the Duggar girls, mostly.
But it seems like Austin and Joy-Anna just can’t help themselves.
On the couple’s shared Instagram account (don’t get us started on shared social media accounts between spouses; it’s weird), they posted a promotion for the conservative and controversial Fort Rock Family Camp.
“Fort Rock Family Camp hasits last Family Camp for the season coming up on October 6-8, 2017. Check out our website at fortrock.org @fortrockfamilycamp”
Just a few weeks after the end of their honeymoon, at a time when most newlyweds are still in, well, the honeymoon phase and cannot bear to be apart …
(This is usually even more the case for couples who have abstained from sex before marriage)
… Austin attended an all-male retreat at Fort Rock Family Camp.
Along with Jim Bob Duggar and Austin’s new brothers-in-law, Austin seemed to embrace a lot of culturally conservative traditionally masculine activities.
Disturbingly, the motif of the retreat was “Battle Ready.” The all-male guests threw hatchets and fired rifles and shotguns.
Sort of strange for a retreat that’s supposed to encourage men to become spiritual leaders to feature so many weapons and to focus so much upon violence — even if no one was getting hurt.
And then there’s the weird gender segregation involved.
Fans noted in the comments that women might have enjoyed some of those activities, too.
“Bet the girls would love [things] like that too,” one fan commented. “Hope they boys had a precious bonding together.”
Though Austin and Joy-Anna are featured on the Fort Rock Family Camp website, it’s always possible that this isn’t exactly Austin’s idea of a good time.
After all, Austin has only just married into the Duggar family. Maybe he’s just going the extra mile to bond with his in-laws.
Still, a lot of fans of Counting On continue to find the Duggar family gender roles to be unsettling.
Many enjoy seeing the girls break free of those restrictions as they get married.

Kendra on Top Season 4 Episode 12 Recap: Couples Retreat
Last night Kendra on Top Season 4 Episode 12, Kendra and Hank Baskett embarked on an intimacy retreat to work on their troubled marriage?
The results? NO ONE could’ve seen this coming …
Okay, anyone could’ve seen this coming honestly.
If you watch Kendra on Top online, you know they have major issues with intimacy and that Hank is pretty terrified of his own wife at this point.
Well, this episode drove home those points and then some. Sometimes, a girl just wants to get roughed up in bed (her words). Step up, bruh!
Hank, for his part, feels like his oft-estranged wife should be more … intimate. Not purely in a sexual manner, but romantically. Personally.
Case in point? His dinner exercise falling flat.
“This is supposed to be the romantic and sensual dinner ever. But with Kendra not taking it seriously, it felt like it ruined the night,” he said.
K-Dubs sees it differently, and wasn’t a fan of the candlelit meal: “I don’t care anymore. F–k this. Play by the book. I don’t give a shit.”
She storms off to the couple’s bedroom, alone.
“I have done everything to get past what I’ve been through. This was Hank’s moment to have me have fun with him, and he killed it.”
“I’m like, F–k this serious bulls–t. It’s over.”
Obviously, their attempt at a retreat is yet another attempt to dredge up/move past Hank’s infamous cheating scandal with Ava London.
“If this intimacy retreat doesn’t work out,” she said at an earlier juncture, then “God forbid … I don’t know what I would do next.”
We think every setback only creates more opportunities for faking divorce drama and keeping her relevant, but maybe that’s just us?
Also, for a woman who hates kissing, Kendra Wilkinson has some strong opinions on what she would like to have happen in bed.
“It just feels that Hank takes me for granted sometimes,” the reality star says at one point. “Not in life, but in the sex department.”
“I know he thinks I’m hot, I know he gets turned on by me … but he’s kind of scared of me because I’m the more aggressive person.”
“I don’t think he’s ever broken being shy around me. I’m looking for him to step up because I’m waiting for him to be the aggressor.”
“Kind of rough me up, you know?”
When it comes to the life and times of Kendra Wilkinson, it feels like the more we learn, the less we know to be perfectly honest.
