There is a thread about that on here too.. not sure where though. I've been here awhile.

Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.

I've been through several other major theological paradigm shifts begore. I was raised Arminian, but came to believe that the Bible does teach God's sovereignty in salvation.
I was raised egalitarian (feminist-ish) then moved to a "complimentary" view of male female relations, and then finally to patriarchy (which the Bible teaches).
One thing I have to give my parents credit for is that they taught me the Bible is God's word, and is to be believed and obeyed. I try to apply that.
I have NEVER snapped my fingers at my wife, BUT I have in a
joking tone "WOMAN snap to it" while snapping my fingers. Of course, we are razzing each other. And maybe if I am on the phone I might snap my fingers to get her attention and give her a squiggly sign for a pen.

LOL, like I said before, sometimes you can "feel the sass" when someone is snapping. Now I would take it more personally if it came from my Mom than my Dad. Why? My Dad is a LOT more relaxed in personality than my Mom. And also, yeah men tend to do that in a joking way, especially in relationships, where women are very "You have til 3 to do what I want."
A good loud snap can focus every one’s attention. I mostly use it with the children and not much since an injury took away my ability to snap with my right hand.

In some (woke) colleges now, clapping is considered offensive since it is loud and commanding. (If someone gets less loud applause, that would hurt their feelings!) Instead, the group is expected to "snap" their appreciation. Considering that some people can't snap and everyone can clap, it seems exclusionary. But the tolerantly intolerant know best how to exclude people, right?

Oh I know about the snapping. There is an internet live stream I watch every Thursday, Critical Role, and they do that because of “sensitivity” when fans pointed that. Now if they said “We’re doing it because of the mic right above our heads so that clap back doesn’t burst ears “, totally understandable.
Many universities have been requiring that people wave their hands instead of clapping them. Snowflake wokism.
Isn't that the whole logic of Esther 1?
If the king's wife doesn't have to obey the king, then why should anyone else? Thus, even in their pagan mind, wifely submission made sense.
As u read through Esther 2 & 3, Esther shows her superiority over Vashti by doing exactly what Vashti refused to do. While we aren't told specfically what it was, if Vashti was to be commended for refusing then Esther should be ashamed for doing it. Either the "morality" was not in question or submission to your husand takes higher priority in a "moral dilemna". Still, Vashti is dishonored in Scripture and Esther is honored. This was very eye-opening to me when I first read it as an adult. 180* different to how it was taught in church classes.
I had a higher opinion of Reese Witherspoon until this film. Ugh.
Embrace your uniqueness. Your enemy will try to hurt you with it. Embrace it. Make it your friend.
"Let them see that their words can cut you and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name take it make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore."

Heb 12:2 (ESV)
"looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
1Cor 1:27-31 (ESV)
"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. ... 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.' "
Yeah, those two movies are very very odd.
Legally Blonde should've been a one-off movie but I liked it.
It is sad that this is really a pro-homosexual comic rather than a polygyny one (but it is ok for us to co-opt it).
By the way, how to children refer to the other wives (not their mother) in a polygyny family? Curious
Well in my case, if it had happened, it would've been "Mom-H" (me) and "Mom-J" the first wife but... Wasn't meant to be on their end.
Very funny, and accurate too: I drive a VW.
