What is it that the christian right wants for (from) women?

[liberalitch]

in your opinion?

[madfloridian]

1. Submission

and obedience.

[Ken Burch]

2. Gee...could it be they want them

barefoot, pregnant, and wearing burkas?

[spuddonna]

5. Not burkas... housedresses and pearls. Think Mrs Cleaver... n/t

[Ken Burch]

11. Well, all right, they'll start them off as June Cleaver...

until the Hester Prynne costumes are ready.

[MADem]

15. Barefoot, pregnant, and up to their elbows in dishwater

Dinner on the table, children seen and not heard, and let the menfolk do the thinking.

[thinkingwoman]

3. missionary sex

multiple children

homemaking

complete subservience

[Lerkfish]

10. yeah, pretty much, though I do know fundies that aren't mistreating

women to the point of requiring multiple children.
However, the whole "family values" bullcrap about the wife being subject to the husband is hardwired into them.
And the husbands don't do much housework. ON the other hand, they do a lot of hard "husband" work, like building sheds, and whatnot.
Its rare to ever see one of them do laundry, though.

LOL, I have some fundie relatives is how I know this, and one or two neighbors.

FWIW, the women seem either in agreement with this attitude or so coerced into it it appears the same.

[thinkingwoman]

30. it's hard to tell the difference

between consent and coercion sometimes. I too have a few fundie relatives. Keeps life interesting doesn't it? :hi:

[Lerkfish]

32. yup. the funny thing is

the same fundy relatives got divorced because the husband was sowing oats in other pastures.
go figure. :rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.

That's what they want.

[Hobarticus]

6. Subservient silence. n/t

[C_U_L8R]

7. Birthin' Babies

and Cookin' Dinner.
That's it.

[rzemanfl]

8. Every time I use that word on DU some feminist reams me out. nt

[omega minimo]

28. Perhaps you could expand your vocabulary

:evilgrin:

[rzemanfl]

33. Fine, "young domestic feline" then. Just doesn't have the same

zing in response to the question, though.

[omega minimo]

34. What part of "expand your vocabulary" don't you understand?

:smoke:


btw
that
is
a
trick
question

[rzemanfl]

36. Didn't understand "Perhaps." n/t

[Captain Hilts]

9. To stay home and not compete in the workplace. nt

[TallahasseeGrannie]

19. I am not sure about that

I think they want submission with the man the head of the family the way Christ is the head of the church. Not burquas, stylish clothes.

But the stay home thing? Maybe a few of them, but most of them are only TOO HAPPY to have another income coming in. As long as it doesn't interfere with her wifely duites: bearing the children, raising them, housework, dinner, dishes, churchwork, and a cute little hobby.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. unequal rights

The putting down of women is something that goes back into history. The ancient Romans had a law that stated a family only had to raise their first born daughter; female infanticide was a wide practice there and in the Middle East. The history of women's right is one that goes from gaining rights (such as when the Qur'an was transmitted through the Beloved Prophet) to losing them (going back to "honor killings" or "female circumcision").

I don't think the rw fundamentalist "Christians" have no intentions of having women lose the vote; they just want their male spouses or relatives to tell them how to vote. As for having control over their bodies and their lives--they wish to go back decades, if not centuries.

[TexasProgresive]

13. To be Stepford wives. n/t

[tuvor]

14. Uteri. n/t

[calico1]

16. Their ideal of acceptable women:

[Captain Hilts]

17. They don't like dames with spirit. nt

[datadiva]

18. Can you say Stepford?

[xchrom]

20. biblically two things

in the old testament -- mostly but not all -- a woman is basically unclean.
therefore she is subordinate to a man.
the reason for adam's fall.

second in the new testament -- it's paul who rules here.
paul flat out doesn't like women.
they are to subservient to their husbands -- and he should dominate her.

so if those two outlooks are the basis for your beliefs -- whatever they want from or for women -- it can't be good.

[HockeyMom]

21. No Higher Education (60% now),

Early Marriage, LOTs of babies, and Home Schooling.

The new serfdom for the barrons' future wars.

[stillcool]

22. nothing at all....

the women's place is to serve the man, clean his house, have his kids, help him in any way he finds useful, and just shut up about anything else. :puke:

[MichiganVote]

23. They want women to kiss their ass

[meow2u3]

24. They want us to be men's slaves

Forget about the 13th Amendment. The christofascists will ignore it, just like they ignore any law they don't like.

[mandyky]

25. Barefoot, Pregnant, Kitchen

Many think women should not vote, should be subservient to men, and be virgins til they marry.
Women should not have any reproductive choices, eg birth control.
Married women should not have a career.

[mcar]

26. They're terrified of women

they want us "in our place" because they know we could do things better than they do. :evilgrin:

[Boredtodeath]
