I'm sad for your experience miss L. And for the situation with your dad. People get stuck in some nasty ways and I'm sure if it were revealed to them they'd be so sad about the hurt they're causing to the ones they care about the most.
My wife is the strongest in her faith, of the two of us. She doesn't think about stuff like I do, but her bible knowledge is far greater than mine. There is no way in hell she thinks herself inferior to me in any way because of what the bible says. I find it odd that there are those branches of Christianity where women are subservient. In fact I think it's quite rare. I only know of the brethren. And the brethren women I know/have known choose that and are happy with it. They certainly don't see disadvantage in it. There's a brethren Church around the corner to me. The women wear head scarves and the families keep to themselves, have their own schools and businesses. We find them a bit weird to be honest. Unhealthy in their separatism.
You're a good person miss L. I hope you find peace with your dad.
It surprised me you saying that you would be a subservient wife. I guess we know/follow what we know. Personally, I see nothing wrong with that feminine desire. I want it for my daughter. What I certainly don't want for her is to be treated as anything less than equal. She's a really strong willed person too so I don't see anyone getting away with much with her. I know I don't! lol.
