Arsfuks, Idiots, Dark Ages & Submission..
The only submission I can ever be accused of is link submission and then only to a search engine.. and even then.. I prefer to give that task to someone else..
I say all that because I am annoyed.. I am annoyed at people and their misguided warped attitudes and I am annoyed that these people are allowed to broadcast these archaic and misguided opinions on TV.
In fact, I was reminded why I DO NOT have TV at home when I went to my brothers place on Sunday and his lodger had the TV blaring some or other gospel channel.
Now before everyone sucks in their breath and goes.. Ooooooh-Aaaaaaaaah!.. I have nothing against religion..So put down the weapons..okay?….Not at all.. promise.. M problem is with people who try and say bullshit and then pretend its gospel and if you dont do it you will go to hell.
Oh puhlease… bring it on bitches.. I dont care how much you screech it over the air… Men are not superior to women, k?
This stupid woman was saying how married women must not try and control men and must be submissive and allow men to take on their more natural role as the head of the household. How men are born into this role and that relationships just will not survive otherwise. She continued along this vein with some supporting excerpts from the bible about honouring and obeying. Seriously…
Submissive? Women must be Submissive? Women must Obey? Are we talking about people here or dogs? I am not saying we should all go burn our bra’s and grow our armpit hair.. oh no! I love my lingerie and as for the whole armpit hair thing.. not that nice, eh.
But to lose your will and your self respect just because you have a vagina? I think not. As nice and pleasing as my vagina might be.. if thats the crap I must deal with.. I will give it back..
I almost put my foot through the TV screen at the shit she waffled on about.. Telling people, gullible type people who may actually listen to her and allow their husbands to beat the crap out of them because it is his will?
What about that young wife sitting at home now thinking it is her fault her husband is sitting in the pub with his friends eyeing out the waitress because she did not submit to his unorthodox nookie last night??
Makes me soo angry.. And this is why so much crap goes on in this world.. because stupid, misguided people get put on TV to say stupid, misguided things..
What Next?

This is one of the many reasons why I object to marriage. Those vows “to honour and obey”. I don’t see the need for either husband or wife to obey each other. We can conisder their opinions and that is where it stops.
To me the whole institution is archaic and can perpetuate weird attitudes.
I mean if you really think about it, marriage was created to buy and sell women.
Ooh I am not always this feminist, but sometimes it comes out!

Relax Max’s last blog post..Still making a difference… people you once knew but have probably forgotten: Where are they now?
Wait – was the television or religion? Religion, right? TV religion. Regular TV is okay, no?

Po – I honestly cant remember whether I said honour and obey when i got married the first time round.. i was soooo young but somehow I dont think I did much obeying..lol! much to his horror.. I get so angry by these crazy ideas that are hammered into young and impressionable women.. If I ever get married again.. I am going to say..
“You’re It!, lets go boklam..:-) “
Relax Max – I don’t know hey Max.. All TV may be the reason for the stupidity in this world.. people take it too seriously you know.. it lost its entertainment value and now if its on TV it must be real..
Everything on TV is NOT real, DUH. It’s the stuff written in Huisgenoot/You magazine that is real.
Glugster’s last blog post..I always wonder what brings people to my blog….
Obviously… I can see that you are learnered…
Ok, at the risk of opening a massive can of worms… I’m a christian, married to a christian, and there is more to the “submission” issue than often gets talked about.
People, especially dodgey TV evangelists, tend to take verses out of context. Submit does not mean put up with your husband’s shenanigans or be a doormat.
Husbands and wives are called to submit to each other, meaning that they should respect each other and love each other selflessly. Nothing wrong with that. That’s the ideal marriage. Unfortunately, too many men take this to mean that they can force their will on their wives and do as they please, and too many women think they have to put up with this nonsense.
The husband being head of the household is not about him being the director or boss of the family – it’s about the fact that he is responsible for his family’s welfare. So he needs to love them and provide for them. Being abusive or dictatorial goes against that in every way.
And anyone who teaches that the Bible says men are superior to women is preaching heresy and total rubbish, actually. The Bible says we are equal. But it also notes that each gender is better suited to certain roles. In my house, hubby does the heavy lifting and I do the nurturing. We’re just wired differently and built differently in the physical sense (duh). But that doesn’t make him better than me or vice versa.
Ok, barricading the windows now and waiting for the stones.
Tamara’s last blog post..Stupid is as stupid does
Tamara – Thank you.. I am sooo glad you made this comment.
The bible is often taken out fo context and the wrong message sent.
Each relationship is different as is each person. I know of loads of homes where the roles are slightly if not completely different and they lead exceptionally happy and beautiful lives.. the key ingredient is RESPECT!
Submitting your love is different to Submitting your will..
A relationship, I think, is like a shark, you know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. Most people hope and dream for a happy marriage/relationship, but these dreams are difficult to achieve.
