» Brian Tubbs - Setting aside theology

Women allow men to THINK they have authority. It's another manipulation tactic - one of many. Behind every powerful man is an even more powerful woman. (Ask Barbara Bush. But don't expect her to divulge her/our secrets.)

Stepping aside from theology and just looking at this statement, I find this to be very true. I've met a lot of pretty conservative, fundamentalist families in my time. And men who make it clear that they are the "head of the home." But, I'm also a pretty thorough observer of people - and, in most of those cases, they ain't.

There's a funny saying: Men may be the head, but women are the neck. Lots of truth to that in many families.
