Dear me... Complementarianism....Why would you ever encourage a woman to remain submissive? You'd want her to recognise when she's in an abusive relationship... be able to speak up....have some social and financial independence...and be encouraged to be part of a reciprocal and equal relationship ... otherwise the erosion of her self esteem....the controlling behaviour of her husband/partner... the social and financial dependence upon someone else... may keep her trapped.
So who's going to run this "put a band-aid on it" task force...Peter Bolt who reckons men's rights are abused when it comes to DV...or Phillip Jensen who is an expert on wives submitting....or will it be David Ould who can't understand why women would want to take on men's roles...or maybe those Equal but Different women whose aim is to keep women refined and in their place ... for their male leaders. Personally I think a Royal Commission into the church and its mistreatment of women is in order... I wonder if complementarianism is to DV ...as celibacy is to paedophillia
We wait with baited breath!
