women as chattel. women as objects to be abused and beaten. women as SINNER. women as nothing other than an accoutrement to a man. ah, but it's ok. IT'S THE WOMAN'S OWN FAULT. why? because she wants to think for herself. make her own decisions. own her own body. be second to no one. oh, in other words just be an ordinary human being.
this is sick and disgusting and a disgrace and unbelievable. it's why (well one of the reasons) women are STILL being abused in record numbers.
stand up and say HELL NO. just do it. don't ever allow yourself to be LESS than anyone else. don't ever allow yourself to be abused.
i'd like to spend five minutes, just five minutes with this 'scholar'.

One reason that men abuse their wives is because women rebel against their husband's God-given authority, a Southern Baptist scholar said Sunday in a Texas church.

I read this to Sugar. After she stopped laughing at the Southern Baptist Scholar part, she said the following:
"We're going to need some rope. Do you have a baseball bat, golf club, or something like that?"
I told her I have pipe wrenches.
"That'll work. You tie him up and I'll see if he'll submit."
yeah the 'scholar' part got me as well.
what if women DO submit and STILL get beaten? what does the scholar think of that? is THAT still ok because she was STILL asking for it?
really, i'm sure sugar and i could make the southern baptist 'scholar' see the light after only a couple of moments with us
