Men need more sex because Hitler!

I'm not giving her a pass. I don't care how controlling Ken is. She's vile. I was hoping the doctors would inject 10cc of compassion in place of the tumor but I guess that didn't happen. Yes, I understand her need to control other women, but her situation doesn't excuse it.

If she's unhappy, she needs to grow a pair and deal with it. She has money. Life after divorce is painful for everyone, but it's easier to be an ex-wife with money. It's not like she'd be out on the street. She still has parents (her father, in particular, seems to dote on her), and she has her kids. Many have had the courage to face divorce with far, far less.

To be clear, I'm not giving her a pass. She's actively encouraging the mistreatment of others.

I was just commenting that this is the underlying message that is coming through for me. If anything, I'd hope that anyone who may be influenced or affected by anything that Lori or other similar fundies had to say would say "so THAT'S where that is coming from" and back away slowly. I also think that the psychology of it is interesting - she's not the first woman that I've met who has tried to paint a decision to stay in a horrible/abusive marriage, and to jeopardize her children and actively work to perpetuate the cycle, as some sort of heroic sacrifice.

Huh. So what happens when a man only wants it once a month and the woman would b ecstatic to do it every day? Bet she never thought of that!

...or doesn't realize its a possibility.

I think it would be hard to tell if Lori would be ok financially if she divorced. I've always gotten a bad feeling from Ken based on some of the stuff he writes and just the way he looks. I can see Ken being the type of guy or have a lawyer find ways to make sure Lori doesn't get any kind of high divorce settlement or maybe low alimony payments.

I agree with you, Lori still has her parents who are upper middle class retired types. Maybe her adult children would help her out. Overall, I don't see Lori ever divorcing Ken or admitting that he is control freak. She loves her reputation of being a "mentor" to younger women and couples.

This comment from today's post is so telling:

Ken and I haven't argued for months and it is so very good...He is my leader and I accept that.

Fuck patriarchy.

I'm reminded of this and the whinning that WWII was caused by women not putting out.

If a burglar is in your home, who gets up to confront him? Your husband, of course! God made them to be the providers and protectors and having lots of testosterone makes them to want to fulfill that role. {A feminine, godly wife helps him want to fulfill that role even more.}

I have been called "The Banshee" for a reason.

Someone tried breaking into the house.

Once.

I grabbed my sword, ran down the hall, all the while screaming at him to get out. It woke up everyone in the house and they came just in time to see the guy fleeing.

The guy was arrested by the cops and he said that he thought a banshee was coming after him and was going to cut off his head.

No one has tried to break into our house since.

Their lack of self awareness is something to behold. I can see Lori getting her passive-aggressive digs at Ken by these blog posts that essentially let the world know how lousy and unimaginative he is in the sack. I'm having a harder time trying to figure out Ken backing up that the only way he can get laid is forcing his wife to "do her duty" when he posts on her blog. Most men kind of pride themselves on the fact they don't have to beg or force, KWIM?

Most decent men would rather take pride in having a wife who is obviously pleased with him in bed.

Ken, however, is a rather shameless asshole. For those who missed it, here are Ken's own words (second comment)

lorialexander.blogspot.ca/2013/02/leann-rimes-felt-pathetic.html

He mentions her "warped views on intimacy". He tells other men that they should tell their wives that God wants them to submit. He writes, "when I see her try so hard... to struggle against her natural "be the boss" personality, this is pure joy for me." He believes that any fight between husband and wife should end with the wife snuggling up to the husband and saying "I've been a very naughty girl. Will you forgive me?" (because that doesn't sound like a line from a kinky porn AT ALL), he believes that wives must surrender their will to their husbands, and he mentions that Lori has issues with this because "but surrender is scary for her as she has always tried to protect the little girl inside from men" (which suggests some abuse or trauma in her past) but he still expects her to do it.

Charming, ain't he?

Let's think of some names:

"I Wish I Was Wearing Chanel #5."

"Eau de Désespoir"

"February in Paris"

"L'air du triste"

Dewy Petals of Desire

Fifty Sniffs of Obey

Eau de Virgin

Pining for Prince Charmless

Desperation

Gee, You Smell Like My Grandma

He believes that any fight between husband and wife should end with the wife snuggling up to the husband and saying "I've been a very naughty girl. Will you forgive me?"

Followed by "May I please have another spanking, Daddy?"

Yeesh, that's a clear case of kink dressed up as Christianity.

Thanks for providing the quotes, everyone. I avoid a lot of these blogs but I like to read about them here.

Why does Lori have to submit to Ken but he doesn't have to submit to her?
