You may find this hard to believe but most women aren't burning their bras and looking for domination over men...
I don't want to bring my religion into this, because it will just get messy and that can be avoided but I am yet to hear of a matriarchal society. They don't exist no? How vastly different are they really?
I use to be like you, and got into an argument with my mum about gender equality, and then I realize that I don't really want a chick bossing me around. She'll just give me headache. I wasn't being realistic. I live in a culture where women tend to marry above them, and look for a man who can take care of her. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, nor do I think there's anything wrong with an independent woman. But I'm African who wants a patner who understands my culture, so something you would call submissive wife isn't going to be something hard to find. It isn't even hard to find in the West.... That doesn't make me barbaric. There can only be one head to a relationship, and I'd be damned if that ever becomes a women in my situation.

I don't want to speak for her, but I'm pretty sure Kendra isn't going to agree with your views.

I posted that a few days back that i didn't support gay couples having kids + that whole thread literally exploded @ me, lol. Apparently we're not allowed to have opinions on certain things.

I honestly don't even want to step foot in that thread. I don't agree with the Robertson's beliefs, but I don't necessarily think Liam is homophobic either.

Well "family values" is a very vague term and can mean a plethora of things. It could literally mean the beliefs of a family and what they value. When I apply family values to my own personal family I look at it in a way to regard to the actual importance of family and how much we value each other and the bonds.

I definitely don't agree with what he said... at all, but what did people expect any differently from a older white male who was born and raised in deep Louisiana? The whole argument is kind of redundant and the backlash really isn't going to change his beliefs and how he was raised at this point in his life.

Ok. Maybe you're right. But the problem is. You're looking at this from a gay extremely liberal pc "equal for all" perspective. I am looking at this from a realistic, straight males perspective, who wants a wife and kids. And that woman is going to expect me to be the "man of the house" and expect me to take care of her, that's how it's always been and I don't think it's ever going to change. Which is why a father is important in most instances and my situation in particular because I think I deserve to the opportunity to have witnessed that kind of relationship dynamic and learn form it. You say gender roles like it's a bad thing, I don't think it's a bad thing. There's no harm in saying that we are not the same. Male, female we are made differently biologically, and that is what has shaped society/gender norms. And I believe that's simply how God intended it.
As I said, I'm seeing this from a straight males perspective. I believe in gender equality to an extent but that doesn't mean I'm going to allow a woman to command a relationship/the house. Idc if that sounds sexist. That's not happening, it's not realistic. People should stick to their roles.
