I hate it because good (albeit misguided) people are lead to believe that they have no choice but to allow their spouses to rape them because of this verse. It doesn't matter how you think it should be used. It doesn't matter if it's meant to be used for that. It only matters that it is used for precisely that. I hate the verse. It makes me sick.I'm not missing the point, I'm disagreeing with it. My point is that, when bad people use something in an evil way for which the thing was not intended, logically the blame goes to the bad person, not the misused thing.
What the hell. No. The verse itself is bad. The blame goes to whoever wrote such a shitty verse that can so easily be interpreted as permission to rape your spouse. I actually think your interpretation of it makes much less sense. Besides I just said that I wish people wouldn't quote the verse so much. It haunted my life for way too many years and I hate it.
