Not talking about fetishes in the bedroom but a relationship where the woman submits to her husbands will even when it is against her own wants/needs/interests. I don't really care what choices adult women choose for themselves but when you're promoting the idea that 'true femininity' is being dominated by a man then you need to be challenged because you're wrong.

I think that any man who wants a woman who bows down to his every demand must be a bully who doesn't like or respect women, he wants a servant, not a wife.

Here is Gabrielle Reece trying to sell her book, advising all women that we need to learn submissiveness to our man to be happy

Id hate for it to be the norm too, as much as I like it for myself.

Im just as ok with the idea of dominant women and submissive men though. Whatever floats your boat.

I think the thing I would aim to teach my children was that they deserve to be happy, and deserve to be treated respectfully.

Going to have to say YABU, Most men just wan't any easy life. May men think a submissive woman is probably going to give them less grief, it has nothing to do with them being abusive.

DH would think I had lost my fucking mind if I started being submissive.
