These things are truly disturbing. BUt rather than labeling it under the banner of ‘traditionalists’ perhaps egalitarians should be more careful with their terminology between those who support biblical headship of a man and those who openly accept abuse which is evidently sinful and should in no way be accepted.

Such poor lack of terminology is seen as…

“1. Marriage is not a hierarchy. Traditionalists assume that a Christian marriage is defined as a dominant husband who makes all family decisions while the wife graciously obeys without input”

This is a gross overstatement. Not all who believe in the male headship define is a ‘dominant’ husband. How many times do people need to be told that comp theology is not about domination whether in relation to marriage, church or the Trinity.

I honestly see it as a misrepresentation. Too often egals link ‘domination’ with our theology. Either they are blinded to the actual teaching and or choose to ignore it.

None the less we definately should protest against those who foster abuse under the name of ‘submission’.
