What year is it exactly?
I'm not amused that any of this is "kind of kinky." Reading about three paragraphs in the HOH (Head of Household) section was enough to show the truly colors of at least the men here. They get off on control. It's that simple.
The complicated part is how they carefully phrase things and use scripture to promote what looks to me like systematic spouse abuse while making it look godly or consensual. My vote is that it's neither, and that these women have been brainwashed their entire lives to think such behavior is acceptable.
I grew up Orthodox Jewish and railed against the inequity of the sexes in that culture. But I gotta say, for sheer offensiveness, these lunatics have the Orthodox of my childhood beat by a landside.
But the real question for me is how long before one of these Christian ladies offs her dear HOH and then uses a battered wife defense in court?
