Thread: Women must submit to men?

If God didn't say it, I did.

LOL ^^^^ that was great

Men and women are eachother's equals so they should be treated accordingly.
A man who wants his woman to be submissive is an anti-social brute. A tyrant. A pathetic fool. He lacks completely my defenition of "being civilised".

Those that seek to control others have trouble controlling themselves.

Universal mind - LMFAO

Haven't you ever seen porn?
Of course they must.
Looks like a majority are from timothy.

Thanks. I live in Mississippi and am very familiar with the mentality. People I am related to have expressed it, and it makes them look so ridiculous. I even went to a wedding one time where the preacher had the bride verbally accept dominance by the groom in front of everybody.

Yes. I have explained the symbology of the xtian marriage ceremony to my daughter at lengh as a warning.

The father gives his daughters hand (the passsing of his posession) to the groom (who from hence forth "owns" her). The bride then pledges obeidience to her new owner. The priest then binds her hand to his - tieing the knot. Very stoneage - of course from the days when some kind of dowry was in order or the marriage was to secure some kind of social position or standing - therefore the father "pimping" his daughter for position, standing, favor or material gain.

I am no longer affiliated with the Catholic church, however I'll tell you what they taught us in morality class.

Essentially, they presented the idea that men and women were seperately purposed yet equally dignified. Our teacher, who was a member of the sisterhood, also disagreed with a statement in the book which presented the notion that the Catholic church has done more than enough to advance women's rights.

Now, being a feminist, I disagree with the notion that men and women are "purposed." But in my experience, the Catholic church at least has been moderate on gender equality. Southern US Protestant churches have not been so moderate.

Good point...

Seriously though, feeling the need to have dominance over your spouse (I'm not psychologist but...) probably stems from insecurity or an anti-social nature as SKA pointed out.
