female opinionRonald Samartino, 71, the father of three daughters thinks Mark’s description of a traditional marriage  is demeaning to women. He has distorted Mark’s message but we are not about imposing one view. We leave that to feminists. Ronald’s take is resonant of real life.

by Ronald Samartino — (henrymakow.com)

I would’ve been embarrassed to tell my wife that her entire precious existence on this earth–was meant only to serve me. I never regarded my wife in that way which seems pretty disrespectful. I saw her as an individual with hopes, dreams, desires, aims, just like me, not some slave. If you need a woman to clean up after you to feel manly, you got a problem.
I feel like these articles are written by men who don’t have daughters. My wife and I had three girls, and NEVER did I say, now here’s a fine slave for some man.
No, sorry. Real men want real women. I didn’t even question it–and I grew up in a pre-feminist era. I’m 71 years old, but it never crossed my mind to raise subservient, uneducated, ignorant humans, whose lives revolve around another human male without any interests or goals or aims.
Are you kidding? My wife and I raised intellectual, kind, caring young women who knew how to take care of themselves, make their own money, not–NEVER to depend on a man, but to also take care of their future families in a loving, caring atmosphere.
They saw me their father helping their mother with everything around the house. Again, I was raised pre-feminist era, now widowed after 43 years of marriage–and I NEVER had to be told to help out around the house. To me it was NOT, you’re the female you do these jobs and I do this and you cater to me so I can feel like a “REAL” man.
My wife and I were a TEAM. We were in it TOGETHER, raising and taking care of OUR family, OUR home. When money was tight, my wife worked, and she and I were both happy that she did. And when money wasn’t tight, she worked, because she wanted to and she was her own person–you know, someone with their OWN, INDIVIDUAL thoughts and desires.
My wife worked right alongside me when we decided to build one of the homes we lived in over the years. She was amazing–that’s a REAL woman, a loving mother, who will work for her family, who’s independent and regarded as an EQUAL.
I didn’t have to be asked to help around the house—I WANTED to help, if dinner wasn’t ready I cooked it, I enjoy cooking. I helped clean and do laundry, I changed diapers, we did all the work EQUALLY, because we loved each other and our family, and we strove together to make our home nice for our children. We were EQUAL partners. That’s being a REAL man, not this phoney divisiveness that is just as extreme and wrong as the militant feminism is.
And any REAL man who has daughters sure as hell doesn’t–does NOT, want them to be mere slaves to another man, even if he’s the greatest, nicest man in the world. It’s a sickening thought as a father.

PROUD FATHER
