Bear in mind, Moore is using these terms in the context of the way feminist use them.
These terms has semantic meaning to the radical feminist that are far different than the avg person.............which he should have pointed out.
That's a good point. Too much negotiation and consensus is just a waste of time, in my opinion. Many issues aren't worth the effort. If everything is being negotiated and compromised, that could indicate a power struggle in the marriage, which is certainly not the Biblical model.
I tend to disagree with using "feminism" as an explanation, though, because that suggests that men have no opportunity to take responsibility for their families, when they do. While it's true that some men are abusive and use religion as their excuse, and some are (in my opinion) overcontrolling out of genuinely loving motives, there are many who have made the choice not to make an effort outside their jobs and hobbies.
