Amoud - "Hmm, talking stylish you now have a better idea about me, aside from the Vertu phone, Chanel toting crazy woman beating down all in her path with a Jimmy Choo shoe lol."
Amoud! That was you??? Lol!
Anyway, I agree with you that a man who wants his wife to stay home and look after the family is not oppressing her - provided he allows her to make that choice out of her own free will. I think the Biblical teachings are similar - God is the overall head of a family, the man is the head of the home and his wife is his helper and equal. Many men only read the "man is the head of the home" bit, nicely forgetting about his responsibilities - which are not few.
Back to what appears oppressive - I walk 2 steps behind my male assistant in Qatar. It's not oppressive - at first glance, the impression it creates is I am subservient to the man in front of me.. but actually, nope. .. It's more for my protection and I chose to do it so he can beat the cr*p out of any guy who wants to get up close and personal with me. My alternative is to beat them with my briefcase but, hey... I shall be ladylike unless the situation calls for err.. less ladylike actions.
