I had to smile when I read this. A Republican Congressman started a controversy by saying wives should be submissive to their husbands.
I am sure he doesn't mean it in the kinky sense that we do. Imagine if he explained it by saying he meant a 50 Shades of Grey kind of submission. Now that would have caused a stir.
The reality is that comments like this and ones talking about "legitimate rape'' help explain why women have favored every Democratic presidential candidate since 1988 when women voted for the first George Bush by one percentage point over Michael Dukakis. Obama won his two elections with a 13 point lead among women the first time and 22 points the second time. He won the male vote by a point the first time and lost males by six the second time.
Anyway, here's the link:

That is a typical Baptist thought. In fact, years ago my husband suggested that we should become Baptists for just that reason. Instead we went the kinky non religious route to wifely submission.
ReplyDeleteI don't vote democrat ever. Baptists fall far short of the submission you see in DD relationships. It is sad really. I might be able to tolerate a Baptist Church if even half the women were spanked.
ReplyDeletei had the same thought when i read that!! Lol...
