if I knew the embryo/fetus was holding my uterus hostage at gunpoint, I would be MORE likely to use lethal force.

Buddy, if your wife lives her life according to your wants and desires (she does what YOU want - not what SHE wants on a day-to-day basis) - you are both kidding yourself that she is happy. She is not an autonomous person behaving as though her own self-worth matches yours. She may have chosen what you both have…

Bitter? Bitch? (I can't do the spelling thing, sorry.) Oh dear. I'm going to go cry all over my Shulamith Wulfing t-shirt you big meanie.

Yet more Surrendered Wife bullshit.

Actually, "traditional" kind of does mean those things. It's the reason feminism came into being - to transform traditional practices because they were harmful for women and children. Under "tradition", women were considered property, were dissuaded from working outside of the home or operating in the public sphere,…

What's missing from this article is the fact that they are both incredibly wealthy, which makes it easier for her to take on this kind of role. If she was part of a two parent working class couple, it might not seem so great...

I took a seminar on intimate relationships last semester, and for our final paper, we had to read Laura Doyle's The Surrendered Wife and analyze her "advice" based on findings in scientific literature.

"He just likes to know what I'm doing, likes to control what I'm wearing, doesn't like my friends." Well guess what? My (male person in my family) is an abusive,…

So this book isn't an autobiography, but a "guide" to having her idea of a perfect life? Why the fuck does this even exist? I know she's an accomplished athlete and has been on TV and probably has plenty of fans, but does that make her qualified to give the general public [antiquated] relationship advice? That's like…

She's 6'3'' powerhitting volleyball player. Maybe she grew up, in this culture, not feeling very feminine. She modeled for Playboy. So maybe, she found someone who is not only not intimidated by her, but still feels like the manly man so it makes her feel more feminine (and she wants that because, you know how…

If all she was doing was discussing her own choice, I'd be right there with you.
