I note that the men in this thread feel grabbing a woman's arm makes it ok for her to kick him in the nuts. These men have been well trained by the feminist movement.
My wife is an individual with a voice equal to my own, if you doubt this just see what happens if you split up.
Her and my happiness are intertwined, we choose to live together, raise kids togther, why would anyone want to be in relationship where they were lesser people?

For the record, if I were out with any friend who went ballistic and started screaming at someone I would be ok with grabbing their arm and saying, "stop it" if they didn't have a good reason. I don't consider that an inappropriate response to the situation. I just quibble with the OP's perception that it's his job or right to "keep his wife in line."
This is all from the husband's perspective. I would expect the same if the roles were reversed.
IDEA. I should have used 'spouse', rather than defining it as man vs woman.

Way to fall for n yusef's obvious sarcasm. The point is that it's ridiculous for a woman to overreact, but at the same time, it's ridiculous to expect her not to react. Same if the roles were reversed.
This wouldn't be an issue if everyone could just think of everyone else as equals rather than considering women, minorities, etc. to be inferior to you, the model of white male perfection.

Depends on the grab and the situation. I still think that the more respectful (and preferable) option is to simply lay a hand on their shoulder and ask that they calm down.

I am saying that you can always think of something inferior about another person. In this world, there will never be a time where everyone believes their neighbors to be on equal ground.
Mankind is not a hivemind. We will never function flawlessly as a society, until we shed ourselves of our own will, which is to discard our own humanity.
I think submissiveness really depends on the woman. Some women like to be housewives, feminists will disagree with this but I know plenty of girls around my age (in college) that don't want careers and just want to get married, stay home and raise a family. I know other women that walk all over their boyfriends and are not submissive in any manor. It really depends on the woman
Also, when did any sort of physical contact on a man's part become taboo. There's a difference between slapping her around a little bit and being physical in a fight. It seems like if a couple is fighting, the only proper course is for the man to handcuff himself because any sort of touching constitutes abuse. I've never been a relationship where a girl hasn't hit me when shes mad, but a guys not allowed to restrain her from getting hit. Men in this country are so warped

I know you were being sarcastic here, but I really think you should look up the definition of suffrage; it means the exact opposite of how you used it.
As for your OP, I would never in a million years marry someone that I felt had to be submissive to me. I want a real human being, not a bimbo who only exists to serve me. If I wanted that, I'd buy a midget.

what he is saying is you shouldn't think of someone as beneath you, and he's right. (unless they commit criminal acts or something like that). he makes a good point that the OP isn't regarding.

There are obviously differences in ability, culture, intelligence, and other things when you compare one individual to another, but that's not the point. The point is that everyone has their own consciousness complete with emotions and it's wrong to consider one person less worthy of respect than another without a damn good reason. And being born a woman is not a damn good reason. Nor is being born a man (and while it's not as common, sexism against men is a real phenomenon too).

I never said it would happen totally. there is no way the masses would embrace that even though it's a correct behavior. i did say that believing someone should submit to you is wrong, and that is what the OP has said. So yes, he is saying that women should submit to or aka be beneath men. (double entendre, i know
