Love to introduce this guy to a few of my female partners (at work) and show him just how very much we want to be led. He can lead me around by my night sights any day. ---

Keep in mind that **brazil84** has nowhere suggested that his idea of marriage should be enshrined into law. > > I poop in my pants, > Shodan You’ve got it exactly backwards: An analogous situation would be if people here were saying that **brazil84** ’s view of marriage should be outlawed, which they aren’t. (at least not in this thread; I haven’t read the other one.) People who object to gay marriage are perfectly within their rights to do so, vociferously if they must, but it’s the legal ban on it that is the problem. ---

I haven’t said anything about marriage _per se_ in this thread or the other one. This thread has nothing to do with marriage. I’m pitting a poster’s comments about women. Marriage is neither here nor there. ---

There is a great deal of difference between acting paternalistcally towards women in general and acting paternalistically towards _your own children_. The latter is far more acceptable … the root word of “paternal” comming from “like a father”. ---

**Shodan** : sorry, but I don’t see the slightest nexus between the complaints in the OP and the issues related to same-sex marriage. I assume that the OP would be equally aghast at a husband who dealt with his spouse that way if the spouse in question were also a man. **Buckey** : sorry, but I don’t think it’s fair to go after **Dio** on this subject merely because he expressed similar views about his minor children. You may disagree with those views, but it’s obvious there’s a principled distinction between a wife and your kids. **Dio** : meh. I think there’s a wide range of appropriate relationships, and it’s for adults to select that relationship which pleases them. What’s described would make me very uncomfortable… but I knew a couple in a similar power-exchange relationship, and they didn’t call it “Biblical…” They called it “Twenty-four hour lifestyle D/s.” ---

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. OK, I’m here. What’s your beef with me? ---

Keep in mind that **brazil84** has nowhere suggested that his idea of marriage should be enshrined into law. > > Regards, > Shodan But he is suggesting that all women want to be subordinate to men, even those who claim otherwise. So the equivalence here would be if people were arguing for gay marriage because everyone secretly wanted to have gay sex even if they don’t admit it. And brazil84’s dream marriage is already legal so the issue of enshrining it into law is non-existent. In other words, there is no equivalence. Maybe in the next episode of Strawman Theatre, you can explain how opposing tax cuts is really a form of sexism. ---
