The claim that I supposedly “questioned the manhood of Avroham Avinu” was made by someone, first claiming that “Avroham was to obey his wife”, then claiming in a separate post that “they could not see how any marriage could have one spouse obeying the other”.

The claim was made by me. If you think I said something wrong, it’s okay to call me out by name. I don’t mind.

The former comment was “tongue in cheek.”

You stated:

“and DH is giving them a strong role model as a man.”

What kind of ‘man’?

One who obeys his wife?

The implication (as I read it, anyway) is that a ‘man’ who listens to his wife is not a man (or at least not a strong role model.” My comment (again, tongue in cheek) was meant to state that sometimes “real men” DO listen to their wives.

Nonetheless, I can’t imagine a marriage where one partner has all the power and the other must follow blindly. To me, that’s not husband/wife marriage, that’s master/slave relationship.

I’m not going to argue with you over feminism because I don’t think you and I even have the same definition of feminism. As such, arguing it’s merits or lack thereof is pointless.
