SUBMISSIVE woMAN

Source Dear "submissive" woman,

(This might cause a ruckus)

Search your heart, search to the depth of your soul. Are you happy?
Are you really happy burying your own will?
Are you happy being subject to another human; no longer having an independent say unless he approves of it?
Are you happy living like a child seeking permission and needing approval- rather than being an adult with an equal say?

I don't need answers to these questions.
Please don't respond.
It's just food for thought.

If you're happy burying your own will; putting aside that project because he "forbade" it; quitting that job because it makes him feel better; making sacrifices that won't be made for you- because Paul said you should, well then good for you..

But some of us can't thrive in an environment that breaks our wings and restrains us from flying just because we are women.
Some of us cannot see ourselves as anything less than whole human beings deserving of regard in equal proportions to what we are expected to give.
Some of us don't subscribe to a concept of one-sided "submission", but that of mutual respect, deep love and equal concessions where neither party is "beneath" the other.
This won't make sense to everyone, and that's okay; I won't try to impose it. As long as you also stop trying to put all women into that box of yours. We all can't fit in to that box.

Thank you.
