The husband is the only one who has a head
Another in the continuing series, Weird Bullshit From Religious Fanatics Who Think They Need to Tell Everyone How to Live: meet Fix the Family.
It has a blog. The blog has a picture.
What do they tell us? It’s pretty simple really. Man the boss. Woman the obeyer. The end.
Here’s their most recent post, which claims to be about American Catholic Marxism. It’s a transcript of a guy talking, and I’m not going to watch that. There’s a limit.
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Fix the Family. My name is Raylan Alleman, and we are bringing you truth without compromise for the family. Welcome to our blog edition. A little Quick Fix for you, the unplugged edition of Fix the Family here on this May 26, 2016. And if you’ve followed us for the past six years or so you realize that the crux of our message pretty much is that God has a design for the family. And that is a traditional lifestyle of the traditional roles of male and female, the husband being the head and the wife being the heart, and she is submissive to him, and the whole matter of the mother raising her own children and all those things. When we follow that design, it’s just amazing. We have so many families we know across a wide spectrum of people, that when you follow that design, you’re going to have some good success. And whenever you decide to go opposite, you’re going to have some problems, pretty much no matter who you are or what financial class you’re in or any of those things.
So simple. So easy. Let the man be the boss and everything will be perfect. Fall down on letting the man be the boss and everything goes wrong.
Amen.
There is something about the imagery that is just creepy as fuck – I’m guessing it’s the context.
As for his basic ‘roles’ message, yes my life would be simpler if my partner was submissive (she is anything but). It would also be much much poorer for it. I pity the insecure men who can’t cope with the idea of dealing with a real person.
It’s fascinating that these groups often use king and knight images. They don’t seem to realize that in the goode olde feudal dayes not every man was powerful. Most of them not lords but lorded over.
So that’s why my wife is so assertive and non-submissive – I don’t have armour and a sword.
Real men know that true strength doesn’t come from enslaving someone else; you carry your own bloody sword into battle…
“The mother raising her own children” – the mother is not raising her own children if she works, you see, but the father certainly is. He just needs to play catch once a week, she needs to give up her financial independence, career hopes and dreams. And very nice about the father being the head and the mother being the heart-that means the mother can’t possibly ever be right, she’s just feelings and he’s calm logical thought.
Golly, MRA loonies without evo-psych rationales. Anyone else notice how ‘god’s will’ and ‘just human nature’ ALWAYS match the wishes of wannabe patriarchs?
The ‘ chivalrous’ knights of he Middle Ages were essentially brutal thugs who preyed on the civilian population and respected only their own class. That Alleman dickhead has absolutely no idea.
