Thankfully its a minority of women that love to be abused and told what to do. Us actually free independent women don't need shit bags like that. We are perfectly fine in our big girl shoes and kicking ass. If we weren't, they wouldn't be trying to pass laws to control us. Fuck off with this nonsense about your husbands and their dirty boots. Y'all wanna be lead by a leash, go for it ladies. Don't drag us down into your horseshit way of thinking. Also my size would dwarf these men lol I'm a size 13

I wouldn't take shit from any man. Outside the bedroom, they can fuck off and do it themselves. In the bedroom? His balls would belong to me.

I'm still a virgin myself, but I've read, seen and watched it. I know my personality reflects that of someone who is the master. Now I see why Tucker fucker is so terrified of women! We are becoming their masters for once.

A man and his wife are on their honeymoon. To show his dominance, the man takes off his pants and tells the woman, "Put on my pants."

She does but she says, "They're too big, they don't fit me."

He responds, "That's right, that's why I wear the pants in the relationship and always will."

The woman tells the man to put on her underwear. He tries but can't. He says, "I can't get into your panties."

She replies, "And if you don't change your attitude you never will."

Its as absurd as the notion that men are superior to women in any way.

Have all those husbands try on their wives' bras. None of the men's breasts will ever be able (I hope for them! ) to fill those bras. The tasks of a woman are of a nature that most men will never be able to complete them during the course of a day. So, there you have it. Women run the show, there is no use in denying it. You guys are NEVER going to be able to fill those bras, so don't even try.

Maybe I am being too optimistic, here. Are the chances of this ever being introduced at that church less than I think?

It was lovely, actually. The minister read passages from (I think it was) Proverbs, the ones that start off saying a good wife is worth more than rubies. Right there was the description of a woman who was a skilled farmer (olives and vineyards) and a canny businesswoman, someone interacting with the world beyond husband and babies, and increasing the economic security of her family.

Kind of like reading for the first time that the Prophet Muhammed married a woman who had her own business. Women who today live in regressive societies and find themselves in burqas — that was not the original intent.

“Patriarchy” and deliberate misreading of the Bible are poisonous.
