Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) believes that although a wife is supposed to "voluntarily submit" to her husband, she is not inferior to him, according to the Washington Post.
"The wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice," Pearce wrote in a December memoir "Just Fly The Plane, Stupid!" that discusses the Bible.
"The husband's part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else."
Pearce also writes that while the wife is not inferior, she must nevertheless be obedient to her husband."The wife's submission is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self-imposed as a matter of obedience to the Lord and of love for her husband," he said in the book.In the book, Pearce criticizes men who "bully their wives and families" based on the Bible passage that says wives should submit to their husbands.
does this caveman ideology apply when he is the center of her stress when he shows up? what about if his neanderthal azz is sick since he can't lead does she sit in a corner and wait till he gets better or frees her by dying?
A spokesman for Pearce, Dan Hazelwood, on Wednesday said in a statement to TPM that the congressman's definition of marriage and the role of a wife is more nuanced that what was described in the Washington Post article:It is unfortunate The Washington Post has ignored the facts and writes a headline the opposite of the story. The Post falsely and inaccurately mischaracterizes Pearce's comments. The chapter in his book discusses how the Pearce's manage their relationship and how they grappled with the bible's words. This was a piece of either sloppy journalism or wilful intent to deceive. The words clearly written show that Pearce believes the phrase 'submission' is widely misunderstood in society and criticizes those who distort the bible to justify male dominance.
so he says what he means but doesn't mean what he said, makes sense all republicans either do that or stand by and listen to their others who do support it, silence is not golden it is a big green check mark, a green light, thumbs up moment but they never said yes or no.
he should marry a Black women then he would be the biatch submitting in the room.
