FEMINISM AND SUBMISSION IN MARRIAGE.
Can a feminist be submissive to her husband?
Many people don't understand the meaning of feminism ..well that's because many ladies
have abused the idea behind feminism. Also many people don't understand submission. They
think submission is when your husband asks you to wash plates and you do so. No! That's wrong.
The idea behind feminism is that women have a voice too in the society, they deserve to be
pampered, cared for, and not treated like animals like men used to treat women those days. Does that
mean I have said women are equal to men? No! Women can never be equal to men because
the bible says the man is the head, so we can't have two heads in a house, neither can we have
two drivers in a car. But because women are not equal to men doesn't mean they deserve
to be treated anyhow. Instead as a driver (the head), you have to listen to your front seat
passager (a woman) because she can give you good directions, tell what is ahead of you and so on.
Feminism is a voice, an act and a stand up call to treat women right, with no intention to abuse
or disregard the male gender.
What then is submission?
Submission doesn't only involve massaging your husband well or working extensively. It's part of it
but true submission is when a woman has the full capacity to do something and she doesn't do
it because her husband says so.
For example, a woman has gotten a Visa to Canada with her friends for business purposes, she tells her
husband and her husband refuses with tangible reasons (emphasis on tangible) like, their
daughter is sickle cell anemic and her health has been acting up lately and there's a need for her to be present to take proper care of their child. If the woman obeys, she is
submissive, she's willing to sacrifice for what matters the most. Submission is love. Submission
is respect for the head. Submission is sacrifice.
Furthermore, adhering to your husband's blind instructions because you want to be submissive isn't
submission. It is stupidity. For example, your husband tells you to join him in a bank robbery, you agreed
because you want to be submissive? Know the
difference!
That a lady is a feminist doesn't mean she can't be submissive!
