P.P.S. I was not referring to the Bible, Beccy. Not too long ago I made the error of equating the Bible with the sum of Christian thought, and was rightly chastized for it. Among other things, the anti-female writings of St. Paul and St. Augustine were used as justification throughout the Catholic Church and into the Protestant movement for the subjugation of women in all things. In particular:

Ephesians 5.22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Fortunately, most women today live in areas that are of more secular mind, but this is certainly not true for all. Women in most Fundamentalist households are expected to order the family exactly as it states in the Bible -- subject to her husband's whim in all things.

Okay, I'm done for now!
