FTA: Woman is subjugated to a status which is wholly reliant on having “faith” that her husband will do the right thing because he is specially influenced by God by special decree of the Bible. Fundamentalist website after website counsels women that if her husband does wrong that the only thing she can do is pray that God will guide him to a different decision, that she is not to disagree with him publicly (or in front of children). She is free (sometimes) to give an opinion, but the ultimate decision is the man’s, because he has special dispensation by God to be in that position. The equal status of women is a threat to this hierarchy, and thus, a threat to God.

An interesting, if not dated (2013) article from the UK. I appreciate the reference to Susan Jacoby, one of my favorite authors!
I can agree with the article but at the same time poke fun at these folks.
I grew up and lived in that nonsense for years and thought I was the head of the house but now look back and realize that we were pretty equal. My ex wouldn't have put up with that anymore than my present wife would. I have several acquaintances that believe this bullcrap but their wives completely run the house and lead their men around like they have a nose ring. I'm sure there are guys that do dominate their wives and that must also be awful for both parties. It's more profitable for both to just be partners.
The rest of the article was interesting and rang true with my observations.
I would like to know what being the head of my house is like. My wife and daughter own me!
