Don’t be so quick to admire this family. What you are seeing is a VERY small part of what they believe and what they do.
Christian Patriarchy is not wonderful and virtuous. It is anything BUT. I have looked it all up and what I read was disturbing. Men have total control over women. Females have virtually no control over anything. We must submit to our fathers and our husbands. We must have sex whenever the HUSBAND wants it and have kid after kid after kid even if it is harmful to the woman.
Think Andrea Yates.
Mrs Duggar has never drowned her kids in a bathtub, nor shown any instability indicating that she would do so. There are a wide range of practices that go under the label..”Christian patriarchy’ but the wisest practitioners are aware of Proverbs 31( the woman described in Proverbs 31 had a lot of freedom and power in that household). The Duggars have had 9 seasons to show if any “warts” would show up and other then aspersions cast by media nothing has emerged that can be used as a “gotcha”.
