Christian war on women

RE: Christian war on women
(April 5, 2017 at 5:22 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Unfortunately that doesn't work. While in theory it may look like it could work that woman is closed in the house wiping floors and cooking while husband is bravely earning money it does not work out. Indeed the most famous case is of Turks living in Germany that hold their wives locked in the apartment, never to get out. And even Costanza Miriano is aware of it when she said in the interview: "the main problem for men is selfishness. They don’t want to die for the family, they want to have a part of life that’s separate, to save something [for themselves]." her solution is to be even more submissive to the man: "We have to give that good image. When a man feels he’s looked upon in that way, he wants to die, to give his life. If we stop complaining, stop criticizing, stop saying: 'You're not worth my life,'"

Women that have no education like that (not to mention rights to work) are vulnerable. Even if a woman finds a good guy that will take care of her and children like that, it all crumbles down if that husband dies or if he becomes abusive, alcoholic, sick, invalid and so on. She is then to jump desperately to another marriage so she can feed the kids. And also women in bad marriages like the ones of abusive and alcoholic husband are encouraged by (catholic) priests to stay married no matter what.
That's not the Biblical view of the woman's role. Consider Proverbs 31:10-31

10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

She has multiple businesses. She owns real estate. Her husband trusts her to do well, so he doesn't need to direct her. 

The Biblical model of a wife isn't barefoot and chained to the stove.
