Should women be submissive to men?

Has anybody heard about this new "philosophy" about relationships that is really starting to catch some airtime? There is a growing number of women who feel that in order for a relationship to succeed, the women has to submit to the man. Basically, the man gets the final word, he gets to call the shots, ect. I guess that a couple women who hold lectures on this have been getting some major airtime on shows like Oprah and the View.

What do you guys and gals think about this?

Personally, I think it's a load of sh!t. One of the things that I love about my girlfriend is that she doesn't roll over and play dead. If she doesn't agree with my reasoning, she isn't scared to say "look moron, you're wrong because of.....".

I fail to see how a woman could be even remotely happy in a relationship like this. Hell, even if a women was submissive in bed, I'd feel like I was raping the poor girl. There's nothing better than having your girl grab you by your belt and toss your around for a little bit before she rips your clothes off 🙂

I dunno, it may help reduce the divorce rate, but at what expense? If more women start doing this, I see the psychiatrist usage rates going up, depressants being perscribed far more often, and just a big "beaten dog" look to many women.

Sorry...this just really got on my nerves 🙂

 
nah not at all.

however, feminists who bitch (hah) about men in our modern society being too powerful and every other guy being a masochist are awful listening to.....they just aren't getting anything themself 😛
 
If they listen to matchbox 20 then they should...:Q

where's gf at? hehe

No, they shouldnt...but i guess for some relationships it works

Mr Isla and I tried that, and it seemed to work at first because I am a very easy going kind of person. It was in line with his religious beliefs and I didn't see a problem with it at the time... I was young, so very young... 😛

Unfortunately, it brought the a-hole out in him big time!

A lot of men equate submissive with inferior. I won't get into it, but I will say that I never came quite so close to truly hating anyone as I did him during those days. If it wasn't for a very dear friend of mine, I might not have remembered that I once had my own personality and my own brain, and they were just fine!

Anyway, take it from someone who tried it... unless your husband is Jesus Christ himself, it's not going to work very well... I do NOT recommend it.
 
LOL Lt007!!!

Why should we be the ones??? I find it much more interesting bending my man to my will...

😛😎
 
I wouldn't be able to respect a woman like that. Sometimes the things most worth having are the things one has to work harder for, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I had a g/f that would be completely submissive.

That's exactly it, Zemmervolt.

He asked me to be his wife and 'submit' to him as his religion dictated, and after my hormones considered it, I said 'yes'.

Then, even though I was doing everything that he requested, he was never satified and totally disrespectful of me!

Naturally, I had to kick his a$$.

He still has the red marks on his butt cheeks. 😉
 
Isn't it funny that as society becomes more and more polarized these figures come out of the woodwork to decry anything that's a potential threat to their particular position or agenda?

I'd be interested to find out the motivation that's behind these women's statements. Usually it's not out of the ordinary for the fundamental, feeble-minded, religous right to believe these sentiments out of God's command of dutiful subservience to one's husband, but what's the reasoning for the rest of the intellectually inspired women to blindly follow?

Relationships are supposed to be about partnerships and equality. They should be a communion of two souls. Each providing sustenance for the other as they journey through life. How can a relationship work when one half must relinquish their thoughts and opinions in self-abasement to the other? How could the other partner be happy with this arrangement or justify it if they truly loved and respected their mate?

I am assuming you know I fall under this category.

I was completely, totally, and utterly blinded by a sense of 'being in love' and Mr Isla was SO different from the other men that I met that I thought maybe his beliefs were right.

And then I came out of my coma.

It was not pretty.
 
I believe that both a man and women need to be submissive with one another in a relationship otherwise it doesn't work....
