From the [Biblical marriage](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=621667) thread: > [@brazil84](#): > > I also bear the burden of leading the family. > [@](#): > > Also, they may not admit it, but a lot of girls appreciate a man who insists on taking his traditional role. > [@](#): > > Another thing to keep in mind is that girls (or women if you prefer) are frequently pretty lousy at assessing what they are attracted to in men. It’s like the old story of the girl who says she wants a “nice” guy but turns around and dates men who are jerks. Perhaps these stories are a bit exaggerated, but I do think there is a significant element of truth in them. > [@](#): > > She is subordinate and I have the final say. > [@](#): > > It would depend on the circumstances, but if she were unable to accept that I’m the boss in the relationship I would have ended the relationship long ago. > [@](#): > > It’s not really a matter of capabilities as preferences. Even if my wife were just as smart as me I would still prefer to be boss. If her judgment were better than mine then I would give more weight to her input. > [@](#): > > Mainly because it’s my preference and also because most girls prefer to be led, although many will not admit it and are not even aware of it themselves. I just wanted to let you know you’re a fucking creep, dude. And you ain’t no man. You’re a pussy who’s terrified of women. Your fantasy that they all want to be led by you, whether they know it or not, is especially gross and pathetic. Just FYI. ---

Yep, he’s showing himself to be a total Neanderthal in that thread. It’s rare to see such blatant fear of women from a (supposedly) adult male in this day and age. ---

That fact that **brazil** constantly uses the word “girls” tells you everything you need to know about his ideas regarding females. Do you refer to full grown African American males as “boys,” dude? ---

I’m sure there are several exceptions to this rule here, but he’s not one of them. Could be something to this - numbers don’t look as clean as letters in a username, and often seem to be employed because the user couldn’t think of anything better. So it could indicate a certain lack of creativity, along with the virtues that tend to go with it. But there are way too many decent posters with numbers in their names for this rule to have any great force. Maybe it just increases the odds of douchiness - from, say, one in fifty to one in twenty. ---

Which of the reasons you have for objecting to his view of marriage do not apply to objections to gay marriage? Keep in mind that **brazil84** has nowhere suggested that his idea of marriage should be enshrined into law. Regards, Shodan ---

I don’t see anybody saying he shouldn’t be allowed to have whatever kind of marriage he wants. Just that’s he’s a misogynistic dick. Not really seeing your point. ---

No one’s saying his kind of marriage should be outlawed. Merely that it’s kind of creepy. And you can’t say, “But what about gay marriage!” because the objections people have to each are very different. Gay marriage involves people who happen to be of the same gender. It doesn’t speak to how the people relate to each other. Biblical marriage basically says that one person dominates the other. ---

No one’s suggesting that his idea of marriage should be illegal, merely that he’s pathetic, mostly for assuming most women want a domineering partner and a traditional role in the home, which, looking at current social trends, is patently retarded. He’s also doing any daughters he has a disservice. I spend a lot of time talking to younger people, both at work and online, and the boys aren’t going to want girls who aren’t going to be equal partners in a relationship. So, their options will be to adapt, put up with ever more radical men on the fringe who subscribe to daddy’s beliefs, or learn their lessons, get out, and end up scrubbing my kid’s toilets because of their lack of career skills. He’s a yowling relic of a dying culture, much like those that decry gay marriage. We’re really paying him too much credence. ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > Which of the reasons you have for objecting to his view of marriage do not apply to objections to gay marriage? All of them, unless you’re saying that gay marriage is somehow sexist, or that it necessarily involves one partner being subordinate to the other. Your question here is nonsensical. ---

It’s too bad, **Shodan** , that you’re reduced to defending jerks like this guy just to score some kind of weird gotcha points. Me personally, I object not to the man’s marriage but to, for instance, this: > [@](#): > > Mainly because it’s my preference and also because most girls prefer to be led, although many will not admit it and are not even aware of it themselves. What do you think of that sentence? ---

Thanks for starting this thread! I was about to make some inappropriately rude remarks in GD. Let’s toss **RandRover** in, as well. I had no idea those dorks were so “Bible believing.” Not that the dork described in that thread seemed especially religious. Yes, there are nutcase religious folks who treat women hatefully–but other religious men treat women & children respectfully. ---
