The buck always stops somewhere. SOMEONE is ultimately at the helm. Does that mean that person carries unlimited powers? No, of course not.
Leadership is a service and a great responsibility, and a position that demands integrity and earned trust. It is not an entitlement.
Consider you yourself said you aren't even Christian, you have no idea what you are even saying. The bible also justifies having sex with a younger woman to have a child (Abraham)and Job had sex with his daughters. Let's not forget the multiple marriages common in the bible. Besides, there was no such thing as a housewife back then because there weren't even houses. The housewife is a relatively new thing. Also, women back then were treated as property.
So why are you a Christian then if you don't believe in parts of the Bible?
Real leaders Lead. They don't say that they should lead.
Most guys I have met who have felt the need to say that "men should lead" were rather insecure control freaks who were looking for someone to walk all over.
Real men do what they have to do. They earn their right to lead. They prove that they are worthy of leading (not that they seek to prove anyway). They don't seek to control other people.
Being a Christian doesn't mean I have to believe everything. Also, men always forget the part that the man has to respect his wife.
Yes you do. You can't be part of a religion if you pick and choose what you want to follow. You are basically saying that you know more than god and that you are right, and god is wrong.
I'm not sure what relevance that second sentence has on the topic when the bible clearly states you should be doing the traditional roles you detest. You can be the leader of the household and still respect your wife. Being a leader is not mutually exclusive with respecting your wife.

Obviously you know nothing about the bible and I would suggest you learn instead of trolling sites and posting things of which you know nothing. Just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I have to play traditional roles and I posted above the whole housewife role isn't mentioned in the bible because it didn't exist back then. However slavery did and stoning and many other things that are immoral.
