Having been a parent non-stop since 1976 (last one leaving the nest in a year or so) and a parent of teenagers since 1982, I have watched a steady transformation of the parent-child dynamic usher itself in, with the opposite of resistance. It is now not at all uncommon for parents to submit to their children; in fact, parents are often shamed by other parents for not submitting to their children's bottomless demands.
That's definitely not submission and is more akin to the posture of a spoiled brat, but, at the same time, we are remiss if we fix our gaze only on the woman in the scenario; if, like the spoiled child, she can 'get away with it,' what does that say about the leadership ability of the man (which is his responsibility in the matter)?
in which case one has to reasonable assume that they didn't make such expectations clear because they were afraid of losing the prospective mate. In such circumstances, it is functionally unfair for the men to go on to grind the ax of, "My wife just won't submit."
In most effective militaries, to put oneself into that hierarchy of authority is voluntary submission
Nothing says modern marriage like this. Too hilarious!I have nothing to add. Soneone just shared this with me in text and it was too perfect.View attachment 2193
