Husbands, Love Your Wives

 This is in response to an article, published about a month ago, On biblicalgenderroles.com entitled "Christian Husbands – You don’t pay for the milk when you own the cow!" It wasn't one I particularly loved; in fact, I had to read it by turns, letting myself cool off between cycles of being my gender being called either a 'cow' or 'property.'  Tact is not this author's strong suit, and I can understand why it might be published under the name of the site alone, bereft of claim by author: The women of his neighborhood, Christian and non-affliliated alike, might lynch him for espousing falsely pious views that couldn't have wormed their way into a religious brain without the tender gardening and watering from our dear friend Screwtape.
I don't mean to insinuate that this man is not pious, or that he doesn't love God and his wife, just that these views don't fit within the realm of those loves: They are a contradiction of Love, and I'm sorry because they must strain things for him heavily.
