If Mark is the Mark who has posted here frequently, then I have always contended that he was comp in name only and that the way he lived out his life and marriage was pretty egalitarian. He, of course, says that isn’t so. Yet many of the examples he gives even from his own marriage tend to stray to the egal side of the road.

This is common in the conservative evangelical and even “old fashioned” protestant circles that I run in. People talk a good “male authority, head of houselhold, king of the castle” game, but when it comes down to how they actually live their lives and interact in their families, the talk is all bark and no bite. (Reason being, the one with bite in the family is usually the wife and if you bark too loud, she will bite back hard.)
