“A woman can never ever compromise what is best for her family because her husband has some kind of authority over her on the basis of his gender. That is wrong. “

This is an excellent point, Sue. This has happened frequently to women taught male authority. And we’ve seen that the results can be catastrophic for wife and children. One very public one was a woman who was taught and told that she had to keep having children even though she was having a medical problem that was affecting her phychologically. She ended up killing her children. In her mind she was helping them. Her husband knew she wasn’t doing well, but wouldn’t authorize her to stop having children.
