"the transformed wife"

Never heard of her. When did she live? Early 1800's?

Can't say that I've heard of her .

 

I followed the links....and spent some hours reading blog post after blog post.
I suspected she was being misrepresented here (and of course she is) and to paraphrase Disney's Iago: "I am going to have a heart-attack and die of not surprise"

I don't find many objectionable things on her website or her blog.
She's hard core no doubt, and probably more severe than I would be, but she's not a nutcase.

And of course this statement:

Is at best reductionist, more closely akin to ignorant or dishonest.
She links immediately to the domestic abuse hotline, instructs women to leave the situation, and says to call law enforcement.
Whenever anyone, for any reason espouses some anti-feminist or traditional marriage roles, the immediate response is to bring up "abuse" as though they were inherently intertwined.
She may be pretty strict in her views, but she's no nutcase.

 

I don't either.
Not many decades ago, practically no one would have thought that.
"Spousal Rape" is (almost by definition) an oxymoron.

 

The new one, or the old one?
Glenn close was great in that movie.

 

Yup, it wasn't until the 70's that there were any meaningful laws in the U.S. and all 50 States really didn't recognize it until 1993.

I realize that all of our forefathers were merely stupid, unenlightened, brutish, sexist Neanderthals, and we, the particular generations of the last 50 years are possessed with far more wisdom than the collective wisdom of essentially all societies throughout all of history up to this incredibly tiny point in human history; but I'm just grateful for it. We are, after all, the enlightened sophisticants who do not know the difference between a boy or a girl, believe that people of the same gender (which is fluid and ever changing now?) can enter into a state even plausibly called "marriage" and slaughter our babies by the millions in abortion clinics.

There's centuries of legal, theological and philosophical reasoning behind that thinking which is far deeper than simply saying "Yikes" is a meaningful response to. She is hardly alone in her thinking.

 

If you want your marriage to last, one of the best ways to assure it is to marry a woman without a college indoctrination, while the man is the sole breadwinner. Women are the weak link in modern marriages.

 

This, I have not read, but I'd be surprised if she did. If so, that is wrong.
Then again, I can see her arguing that divorce is not acceptable even if separation is necessary.
I could appreciate that argument.
It depends on what is meant by "staying in".
That can mean refusing to divorce but protecting oneself and their children (as I suspect she'd argue) or it could mean leaving oneself at risk.
I am doubtful she's suggesting that, but, if she did she's a loon.

 

Are you divorced?
