An excerpt from an article in the Washington Post, most of which concerns the Bachmanns' views on homosexuality. I thought this part was even more interesting:
Dr. Bachmann’s influence on his wife is an article of faith within the family.
“He is her godly husband,” said Peter Bachmann, Dr. Bachmann’s oldest brother, who lives on the family dairy farm across the eastern border in Wisconsin. “The husband is to be the head of the wife, according to God.” It is a philosophy that Michele Bachmann echoed to congregants of the the Living Word Christian Center in 2006, when she stated that she pursued her degree in tax law only because her husband had told her to. “The Lord says: Be submissive, wives. You are to be submissive to your husbands,” she said.
And it is clear that when it comes to their social conservatism, the Bachmanns are in full agreement.
Progressive women must be gnashing their teeth in frustration over the fact that after several generations of struggle for equality, the woman who now wants to be POTUS views women as being subservient to their husbands.
