>>269Women want to be dominated and be submissive to a particular man. Otherwise she feels unsafe and dissatisfied.
It's quite understandable: if a woman's mate can't dominate her, then what hope does he have of asserting himself over other men and protecting her and her children?
St. Paul and the English Church understood this very well. Note the marriage vows for the groom:
>N. WILT thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?And for the bride:
>N. WILT thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, and serve him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?The first duty of the husband is to *love* his wife–which was understood as an act of will, not a matter of feelings. The husband was to always act for the good of his wife.
The first duty of the wife was to obey her husband.
The beauty of this arrangement is that the woman gains the security of submission, but submission to a man who has sworn before God and the community to place her good above all others.
One of the cruelest effects of feminism has been to destroy the social support for this balance of love and dominance. Human nature does not change. Women still want to be dominated, but they can't openly admit it or obtain it from feminist husbands.
They often wind up seeking it domination instinctively, without guidance, and often from vile men who do not love them, and treat them cruelly. The men who in other times would lead them with love have been socialized to be non-dominant "nice guys" who inspire no security and consequently have little sexual appeal.
