Wife-Spanking 101: Neither parody nor porn
What if your wife, even after graduating the prestigious homemaking course at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a degree in ladylike submission, still won't behave? Uber-conservative Christian patriarchs everywhere now have a solution!
Give her a good spanking. For how to incorporate this into your marriage, see the "Christian Domestic Discipline" site. Unlike the Baptists for Brownback campaign Jen wrote about awhile ago, this site appears to be legit. Not a parody.
"A Christian Domestic Discipline marriage is one that is set up according to Biblical standards; that is, the husband is the authority in the household. The wife is submissive to her husband as is fit in the Lord and her husband loves her as himself. He has the ultimate authority in his household, but it is tempered with the knowledge that he must answer to God for his actions and decisions. He has the authority to spank his wife for punishment, but in real CDD marriages this is taken very seriously and usually happens only rarely. CDD is so much more than just spanking. It is the husband loving the wife enough to guide and teach her, and the wife loving the husband enough to follow his leadership. A Christian marriage embodies true romance and a Christian man a true hero."
This is billed as completely consensual, with it made clear that "the husband has authority to spank the wife. The wife does not have authority to spank her husband." The site was created by wife-spankers who were sick of stumbling upon porn when they searched for other like-minded folks online. Lest you become confused that the CDD site is a BDSM site with a Christian spin, they're sure to reiterate that this is about adhering to Biblical gender roles -- not about sexual pleasure. Unless you get off on asserting your patriarchy by slapping your property ... um, I mean, wife. Not an unheard-of phenomenon, as the site acknowledges:
"Though we recognize by its very nature this subject can be erotic, we will keep this website as clean and wholesome as possible. However, we will not seek to deny the erotic nature of some CDD marriages as we believe it is a natural consequence of following God's plan. After all, He created eroticism to be enjoyed inside a Christian marriage."
But what if sometimes your wife doesn't want to be spanked? Well, let's not use an inconvenient phrase like "domestic violence" or "spousal abuse." Nah, "non-consensual CDD" would be more appropriate, really. And the site basically says that it's a man's god-given right to hit his wife, even if those pesky laws against domestic violence get in the way.
"Non-consensual CDD: Though we believe the Bible gives a husband the authority to use spanking as one tool in enforcing his authority in the home with or without his wife's permission, in today's world we recognize the legality that mandates that all CDD must be consensual. Therefore we will do not condone nonconsensual CDD as a rule."
How progressive of them!
Lynn at Broadsheet delved into the blogs linked on the site, which are just so sad. One blogger, a woman named Debbie, has decided having her husband hit her is a cheap and effective weight-loss strategy. She recounts being beaten for accidentally leaving the stove burner on, and writes, "I felt my stomach drop when I saw my husband bring out a heavy belt." She continues,
"I am not abused nor capable of being abused. I imagine that if one of you raging feminist find yourself beaten by a man you had better hope Leah or I (or someone of like mind) comes along to beat the stuffing out of him for you. I know I'm capable and from reading I sort of believe Leah is as well. My submission is quite voluntary."
I'm not saying all wife-spanking is analogous to domestic abuse. The blogs and the site make clear that this is a lifestyle chosen (how freely chosen is another question...) by women themselves. One writes on the site, "We practice CDD-lite in our home as it is a concept that I have brought to my husband and one that he is still getting comfortable with."
Of course, that's less disturbing than "non-consensual CDD," but still thoroughly depressing. As Lynn writes, "violence at home -- 'consensual' or otherwise -- is by no means unique to these particular fundamentalists; abusers and victims can find plenty of justification for their actions without distorting Scripture." And I agree with her that seeing it put in such plain terms on this site and in these blogs is really, really troubling.
On a much, much lighter note, the site also features a store... which sells crotchless pantaloons. For the traditionalist Christian who's not quite into Frederick's of Hollywood, but finds the Laura Ingalls Wilder look totally hot.

It's probably good practice for them - learn some techniques they can use on their children.
Spankings in the name of god. What will those crazy kids think of next?
And their protestations notwithstanding, I'm sure the man of the family sports wood while metering out the firm-handed discipline.
If that wasn't real it'd be hilarious.
No time for geography when there's ass slapping to be done! The lord's work always comes first.
I mean, it's not my thing, but whatever ... the only two words I need to hear are "consenting adults" and I'm cool with pretty much anything people want to do with one another. It just cracks me up that they have to dress their kink in religion. Kinda makes me sad for the submissive Christian men out there though ... I don't think they're going to be able to find any bible passages to ease their poor little consciences after their whippings.
take a good look

i just need to say
lmao..where the fuck in the universe are we? ..Oh yeah a speck right here...in a solar system so unique the exo-planets have absorbed (and continue to absorb) all the big potential impacts to get us to this stage unabated .. the bible made me forget and think pipe dreams there for a second...
phew..reality check...
here and now..

I often believe that sometimes people who truly oppose Christianity start these things and label them as Christian just to create a backlash against religion.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Like a conspiracy?
These people are most likely christians and they do think it's a Christian concept, whatever that it.
That's the thing about religion, all these christian groups disagree with each other and they can all cite verses from the bible to prove they are right. That doesn't necessarily mean they are right.
But the old "but that's not a "real" christian" is a cop-out.

Well then either she should have edited it so we could not tell that this is done in the name of Christianity or she should have not posted it. I'll go with the latter. I propose a new rule. No posting anything negative that Christians have done. There is an image to uphold, people.
But the vagueness of the bible and the vastly different interpretations of the religion make this as much of a "christian concept" (at least to those people who practice it) as anything else. Without wading too far into the normal divisive subjects around here, liberal christians may view acceptance of gays, or environmentally-friendly things as christian concepts, but more orthodox christians don't.

At least you're acknowledging there's a difference.

exactly. and a thinly veiled attempt at that.
quite a common occurence amongst religious fanatics apparently.
wow.
I'm still pissed they got the right to vote!
of course i can't prove that to you, unless you'd really hear what i have to say. the bible never praises homosexuality in any way.... many people just use the bible for their own benefit and make it mean certain things that support their lifestyles. others say that it's hard to understand so it's widely open to interpretation... and i can understand that concept, to a certain degree though. the bible is fairly undersandable... if you and i were to read the bible together, i'd assure you, through common sense and discussion we can come to agree about it's teachings.... not that we'll agree, per se, in the teachings, but rather agree that it means the same thing.
i've heard many pentecostals discuss with many trinitarians and baptists about baptism.... pentecostals baptize in "jesus name" as opposed to baptists and trinitarians, they baptize in the "name of the father, son and holy spirit" you can say, "see, all religions disagree." but if you hear them discuss these things, a pentecostal will say, "the apostles and disciples of jesus all baptized in the name of jesus christ. where do you come up with the idea that we should baptize in the name of the father, the son and holy spirit." a baptist, or trinitarian would say, "you're absolutely right. but it's become a part of the tradition. frankly, we wouldn't want to change it."
i know i'm going out of topic here, but i'm just showing you how many people know for certain that they're not using the scriptures strictly as it's written. that's why there's all these confusions between different denominations. it's really not that complicated when you look into it. but of course not like you care.
but i bet you that these folks who support spanking their wives wouldn't find a single scripture to prove they should. these guys are nuts.
and I can't help but get the feeling that "Lord" and "God" are two separate beings, sometimes. I also can't help but wonder about the "wrath" and "righteous anger" of God, who wants to smash us like pottery when "He" is angry.
That being said, I love a good spanking from my man now and then. Especially when I'm wearing my black garter belt and stockings.
mean it to.
