Why does the Husband Not Need Permission from his Wife?

Treating some women as broodmares can be a necessary process of integrating them into a family. In the West the woman is always free to leave but if she wants to be part of a patriarchal family then she has to live by those expectations.

For some women this is exactly perfect. It's what they need is to have the uncertainty of secular feminism replaced by the certainty of religious patriarchy.

For others not so much. Most of them would never join such a family in the first place.

Yet the truth remains that for some women this life can be just what they needed even if they chafe against it at first.

MeganC, help me out here... What does it look like to treat a woman as a broodmare? We have horses and when one is treated like a broodmare they are usually left in the pasture and never worked aside from having foals. These broodmares tend to get a bit hard to handle as they are not accustom to being told what to do. Never led, they learn to lead themselves wherever they want to go. Never handled, they tend to shy from human touch...

I suspect that this is not meaning of a broodmare in your statement. How would you define treating a woman as a broodmare?

Thanks!!!
