If a husband is using his authority to fulfill his own selfish desires then this is an abuse of authority and self-destructive.
Interesting, so
"abuse of authority," but not abuse of his wife? No, of course not, she's property...
*rolls eyes*
Yep, its was in full effect during the time I served demonstrating the point that equality is not reality among other things.
In a hierarchical environment you're not going to find equality and using the military as a basis for a relationship is just plain --- naive. In a marriage, you damn well better find equality unless you're okay with bossing around and oppressing your mate.
Actually that's none of your business what I do with my spare time. Your one to talk your on here as much as anybody.
Hehe, I'm not married.
And don't a/s/l me in a pm again, that just freaks me out.
*smirk*
I never said I don't allow my wife to influence my behavior, only that I make the final decisions in my household. It would be naive to think you spouse does not affect your behavior or decisions.
O'Rly?
You quoted this,
"When a woman see’s that she can modify her man’s behavior she might perceive him as not being as strong. <...> because she now perceives her man to be controlled by her emotional reactions she no longer sees him as a solid foundation of strength."
So does that mean your wife doesn't see you as a solid foundation of strength? After all, you just said you would have to be naive to think she doesn't affect your behavior.
So, which is it? Are you weak or naive?
I agree that the value or worth of individuals should not be judged by different responsibilities. Being in the lead does not make your worth more, but not having a leader is disorder as much as having too many leaders.
hehe, and if it's the woman that wants to lead? God forbid that, aye?
Let's see, oh right, you already answered that question with,
"If you show a relationship where a woman takes the authority in the relationship, I'll show you a woman who has no respect for the man and a man who resents her for it."
Let's turn comment around, shall we?
"If you show a relationship where a man takes the authority in the relationship, I'll show you a man who has no respect for the woman and a woman who resents him for it."
Booyah...
