I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Give me 30 minutes in the round pen with this dude. I'll show him exactly what a good wife can do with a piece of rope......

Why on earth would I want to waste an hour of my life listening to a nut job?

He is probably loving all the extra hits to his video.

Dude must be hungry or something, never preach before having a solid meal!

Seriously, my husband makes some comments along those lines as a joke. I slide my eyes towards him and ask if he forgot where the kitchen was.

Though... now that I think of it... I had requested his help in adding water to a bread dough mixture, while I stirred and held the bowl in place. I made a comment about how it would be much easier if I had a mixer.

Wouldn't you know it, for Christmas (Jesus' Birthday!) I found myself the proud new owner of a massive, heavy duty, stainless and made in USA Kitchen Aid mixer.

Husband must fancy me a virtuous woman or something. I told him I need a bigger kitchen with the counter space for such a monster piece of equipment. We'll see if I get a new house for Christmas next year.

I am a great cook and enjoy cooking, so if someone wants to pay me what I make at my 40 hr a week job to cook for them three times a day I am available.

Hands up the number of people who actually listened to the man before commenting.

I did.

Some of them were, and others are taken completely out of context.

I listened to him. The entire thing. The longer I listened, the madder I got. This is the same guy who railed against national geographic for "pornography". But yes, before I posted it, I listened. I don't think he was taken out of context. I think he's an a$shole.

Y'see, I have this bad habit. I don't just take somebody else's word for it, I prefer to form my own opinions.

I'm hard-headed that way.

Having a couple of tasks at hand that would occupy my hands, but not my mind, I decided to do both.

I took the laptop with me, and listened to this man while I washed dishes and cleaned the bathroom.

Listened with an open mind.

Some parts I listened to a second or third time, just to be sure I understood him.

He paints with a broad brush, and anytime you do that, you'll wind up getting paint on things you weren't intending to paint.

Some parts I disagreed with.

In some things, I think his view is extreme.

But while I think he takes his position as the head of the house a little too seriously, I didn't hear disrespect or enslavement.

I also didn't hear him cuss.

It's propably only a matter if time before his wife is being inerviewed on the Id network

I swear your honor I don't remember pulling the trigger

How closely did you listen? Because I distinctly heard him say a "stubborn and contentious woman" is equated to Chinese water torture. He does say "I don't need to hear what it's like to be a woman, I'm preaching the doctrine of the bible! Every pastor is qualified to tell you how a woman should act." Again, not word for word, but exactly what he said. Let's not act like this guy is being demonized. He's not.

I consider myself to be pretty old fashioned. I live in the South. Here, most men want to talk to Terry, and do not like dealing with me in most things. Most of the time, I let him. I don't get angry, because I understand it's just a Southern thing. This man takes it far beyond even that. He offended me, and I DO intend to home school my child. I DO spend time with her and I DO cook and clean the house. (I listened to this man while cleaning the kitchen and sweeping the floor,) I don't consider myself a feminist, nor do I agree with most things feminist women say...but this guy, he's a jerk, and I feel sorry for his wife and children...especially if he has any daughters.

And btw, I wasn't even using the "Woman logic" that I use on Terry...where if he says I need a certain size saddle I equate it to him saying I have a large rear end...It isn't needed with this man.
