The book, Cásate y sé sumisa, translated Get Married and Be Submissive, has even drawn the ire of a high ranking political figure in Spain in the form of that country's health minister Ana Mato, who according to The Telegraph, said: "I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful to women."

According to the report, from the very first pages, author Costanza Miriano declares to women: "we are not equal to men and to not recognize this is a guaranteed source of suffering."

I want feminists to be outraged. I want them all to be SO outraged they go to some other country - like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.

Men and woman are different. They are made to fit together and become one together.

I can't vouch for Pakistan but in the KSA a woman's worth depends almost solely on the status of her family.
If woman is rich, beautiful, rich, educated, rich, smart, rich and nice, then she has it made in spades.
If woman is poor, ugly, poor, illiterate, poor, mean, poor, stupid and poor, she is DOOMED.
And that's the truth! RASPBERRY. (Lily Tomlin--Laugh-in)

Well I got married, and I’m submissive, and that’s exactly how we like it.

The fact I happen to be a fully functioning, fit and potent male might have something to do with my success.

Life did seem to be better when moms stayed home and took care of children and the house. With both parents (if there are both parents) working now, there is way more stress and I’m sure the children sense it. I always tell my daughter I want to go back to the 50s. Things weren’t perfect, but they were better.

A defense against the Koran and genocide is THE BIBLE...?

Shucks, imagine that...!

“Confidence of our CONVICTIONS” - NOT just a catchy vapid saying anymore, I guess....
