Get back in line, uterus-bearer.

The reactions I receive when talking about gender equality and non-complementarian styled marriages are incredible (and somewhat comical, in a dark sort of way).

I mean, really?

Is that really all you can hear?

Me wanting to get married (because of course I have to want to get married),

and then wrecking havoc on all the lives around me - to include and certainly target the poor patient husband that is willing to put up with me. (He didn't know what he was getting himself into.)

He'll have to put up with me controlling everything in our lives. 

Bossing him around. 

Disrespecting him regularly and publicly. 

Being so noisy that he's never heard.

And intentionally using rebellion to disappoint God and poison the women 

around me with evil and fanatical ideas on "equality". 

I mean, I might even - "let myself go"... (stop wearing make-up? gasp!)

Or some nights that he's "in need", I may even not be up to... serving him.

Well if that's what you hear then, I suppose I get your concern. I suppose I can begin to understand those worried and disapproving glances, those passive-aggressive prods back towards the "light" of delicacy, meekness and submission.

Because hey, I wouldn't want to marry someone that thinks in that way and treats me like that, either.

(But understand that I also wouldn't want to marry someone like you insist I need to be.)

Oh gosh, did I just hint at wanting something contrary to my nature, position and calling in life... oh jeez. Whatever will they do with my rebellion?
