True. Many so much so that instead of simply submitting to what God says, they determine to submit God to their tests of fairness. God established the order for men and women.
The humble accept it... the power-hungry dispute with God over it.
That's why so many are here fighting for their right to continue their bigotry and repression.
No bigotry... not repression. Just obedience.
Even some women have learned to hate themselves to satisfy their men.
Hate themselves? What an incredibly pompous, arrogant assumption.
Care to show some proof that they hate themselves or are unhappy living in accordance with God's Word?
My wife is neither oppressed nor the victim of "bigotry". She is biblically submitted. We have a great relationship that is the envy of people who know us that think more like you. Funny, God's ways aren't man's ways...
Universally, I find that the closer men live to the biblical servant-leader role and women live to the biblically submissive role... the more content and satisfied they are both as individuals and couples.
OTOH, the more women try to behave like men, usurp authority, and rebel against God's order... the more miserable they are.
Likewise, men who rebel against and reject their biblical role, responsibilities, command to love, and manner of leadership are alternately hen-pecked cowards or abusive ogres.
A survey just came out by Pew that basically reflects the more someone leans toward conservatism and values traditions... the happier they are... Interesting how God's Word predicted this would be the case. All Pew would have had to do is read the Book.
