In this reading, I tried putting myself in the shoes of a wife or someone during that time, listening to this sermon. I found it somewhat contradictory.

Obviously, this is a patriarchal society, and that was the thinking of it I guess. -Aqsa Z. | In this reading, I tried putting myself in the shoes of a wife or someone during that time, listening to this sermon.
