It assumed there was no middle ground between being a doormat and being a shrew.
This is what really irritates me. Even one of my mothers-in-law subscribes to this sort of thing (the one in Alabama) although her husband is so whipped, words do not describe.
Brian and I (and I imagine you and Steve as well) DISCUSS things. We talk about issues or problems, and come up with a solution together. It may not be perfect, but it's better than one person running the whole relationship.
I think at least the woman who wrote the Surrendered Wife deal was actually living that lifestyle - while folks like Colleen Hammond and Phyllis Schafly do not. They have important careers, travelling, lecturing, writing, and basicaly delivering a do as I say, not as I do message.
