8 thoughts on “Feminists Flushed Femininity Down the Toilet”

1. I have to say, that my life is so much easier since I was taught ” by your most controversial posts” that my husband is not wired for housework. Wasted years full of false expectations and tension in the home. I honestly always thought the more spiritual a man is, the more he will help. And I was always longing for that kind of spirituality in him. (He simply refused…) Only now I see that he was all along a great provider and I didn’t appreciate it. I feel ashamed. Since I decided to not expect any help from him anymore the atmosphere at home changed and I can truly dive into being the help meet GOD called me to be.

   Thank you, Lori, for spreading a message of peace for our homes!

2. You’re welcome, Daniela. Most men want peace and order in their homes almost more than anything else and a godly wife can give this to them.

3. You are so right! Men want peace and order!!
   They want attention at times and for peace and quiet at times! Housework can be very fulfilling when we see how beautiful and lovely any home can be without the complaining and telling your husband to do his share…
   Most men will do what they enjoy doing in their home!
   Thank YOU!

4. You won’t publish this comment, and that’s fine. I just want you to read.

   I have no shame in the fact that I am happy having a job. I’m happy I don’t have kids, and I’m happy I’m not a housewife. We’ve been the prissy little housewife sitting at home with nothing to do with her husband is our “working” and then coming home late. It’s not fun. Then when the guy screws you over, you have no money (because you have no job) and thus, nowhere to go. That’s reality, but you conservatives refuse to be honest of these roles. Having a soft man is amazing. Having a career is great. Being child free kicks butt and I’m not afraid to say it. Life is awesome! Sorry if that offends you, but my idea of a loving God is one that allows us to choose our destiny, and I would absolutely not have it any other way. I’ve been on your side of the fence, and I will never go back there.

5. Beautiful testimony!

6. This doesn’t offend me at all because my life is not about seeking my own happiness. It is obeying what the Lord has called women to do and in obeying the Lord is where true, lasting joy comes from, Ashley, and I hope you can find it one day too. You have made up in your own god instead of searching the Scriptures for God’s will for women and then obeying it.

   “”If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)

7. I completely agree with your post Lori! I am just sad because I feel like we can never get back to how it is suppose to be! I *am* thankful, though, that I do know so many homemaking wives and mamas (who homeschool). :o)

8. Ashley, like Lori said, your comments don’t offend me either, because they are not how I feel. I can’t change how you feel, however your tone and the way you have presented this reminds me of how I feel about my SIL who HATES and I do mean HATES the fact that my husband is the head of our home. You see, she is so determined that her husband isn’t going to tell her what to do and she will never be in submission to him that you can see the hate and anger on her face most times. Which is really sad, because when she is not mad about feminist issues, she is a wonderful, caring and very fun person to be around.

   It just makes me sad, as do your comments. But my question to you is this, why does it bother you so much that women choose to live in submission? Why are you even on a blog that teaches submission if you truly despised it as much as you say. As to the waiting for the husband to come home, my child is now in college, so I don’t have any children at home, but trust me I have enough to take care of around here that keeps me from getting bored and just waiting. And I do it joyfully.

   You see, I worked during the first part of our marriage and I would not go back willingly, now I know if my husband feels like I should, I will obey (and do it joyfully as well), but he said the other day that he doesn’t want me to and I am happy with that. My JOB is my husband and our home and I LOVE MY JOB! I love taking care of our home and my husband. It is an honor to me! Oh, it used to not be, back when I was the one who was angry all the time because I didn’t think I should have to obey him.

   But you see, funny thing happens when you obey God’s word, you get this peace and no job or money or anything material in this world is as good as the peace I have from following God’s role for my life as a helpmeet. And to be honest with you, you are taking offense with Lori and women who choose to be helpmeets, when in actuality you should be taking it up with God. God put it in his word, so really your problem is with God, not other women.

   I used to feel the same way you do. Thankfully, I came across Debi Pearl’s book Created to be a Helpmeet and began searching the scriptures myself. Once I began submission, things started to change, but once I started JOYFULLY submitting, wow things began to be awesome. No, I’m not perfect and I know I am not always joyful, but thankfully like any other thing, the more you practice the better you get.
