"Women derive their primary sense of joy by serving a man who they respect, love, and admire."
We've subsequently established that by 'serving a man' he means raising a family in a traditional submissive-wife-at-home role, with no career.
I find the concept of a 'submissive wife' quite hard to understand.
If a woman WANTS to stay home and raise the family, and doesn't have any career goals, does this make her submissive? Because she's acting on her own agency, doing what she feels right about for herself and her children as well as her partner. Or is a submissive wife one who agrees to give up outside work because her partner prefers her to?
Does submissive mean not placing any expectations on how you want to be treated? Does it mean accepting or believing that your partner makes better decision for the two of you than you would? Women who like to be submissive - what does it involve for you? Why do you enjoy being submissive (in a general sense, not in a BDSM sense)?
Do most men prefer a partner who does not have any desire for work outside the home, or one who would give up that desire at their demand? Men, what makes a woman submissive in your minds, and do you find that appealing? And if a woman is not submissive, does that automatically make her dominant? Or is it possible to be equal?
I have lots of thoughts about how the relationships I see around me work, but I'll wait till I get some responses before I start describing.
