This is disturbing.

On the one hand, these women have a right to self-determinism, as we all do. On the other, I have to question how much of this extreme submissiveness to God, husband and children is self-determined, and how much is the result of brainwashing from infancy that this is all women can/should do.

Someone posted the link in dark_christian. I think they qualify as fundamentalist, but there were a few points in that manifesto that seemed to negate the dominionist agenda - specifically, minding one's own business. Still, these are the types of families that support a dominionist agenda politically, whether prairie muffins themselves do or not.

Yeah, pretty much. I really hate this religio-politics thing.

"I feel my place is at home, being a good Christian and a good submissive helpmeet to my husband" ought to be just kind of a basic statement and cool with me, but I guess what takes it from being kind of creepy to actively upsetting is that it almost never means they want to be just that, that it's locked up with the whole crappy agenda.
