Women: 'be silent and submit to your husbands'

[Locutus]

The bible tells me so.


The apparent lack of obedience of ‘modern women’ was blamed for the high divorce rate. In a sermon entitled ‘Marriage and women’ last Sunday, curate Mark Oden, told the congregation at St Nicholas Church in Sevenoaks, Kent: ‘We know marriage is not working.

‘We only need to look at figures – one in four children have divorced parents. Wives, submit to your own husbands.’


It is understood some women parishioners – and even their husbands – have vowed never to attend the church again.

Its vicar is Angus MacLeay, 50, a married father of two who is a leading member of the evangelical group Reform, which is opposed to the appointment of women clergy.

That was the connundrum of my first marriage. I was pretty religious then--I believed that whole men are in charge horseshit.

Except that doing what I was told meant sleeping with his friends, sleeping with strangers he brought home, allowing a loaded weapon on the nightstand (with a 2 year old in the house), being slapped around, enjoying the bizzare sexual things he wanted (which included urine) and never telling a soul that I had to pawn my great aunt's diamonds she gave me so he could get beer.

And no, I was not formerly married to anyone on this forum.
