What does submission mean for a woman who wants to be in a traditional relationship?
Let's first talk about what it does not mean. It doesn't mean putting up with abuse. It doesn't mean tolerating disrespect. It doesn't mean suffering through a relationship where your needs aren't being met and your input isn't valued. It doesn't mean cowering in front of a man's temper tantrums and turning a blind eye to his emotional instability. It doesn't mean being treated like a half-retarded child.
Submission is what a woman does naturally around a man who is competent to lead her. This shouldn't feel like work or some kind of sacrifice, but the natural ease of two complementary people working as a unit, with each person's talents being utilised in their proper roles for mutual benefit. The two become one and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
When the sun shines brightly, the moon reflects that. A man who feels the need to put out the light of a woman in order that he looks brighter in comparison has no business being in a relationship at all. That is a lunar, feminine man who does not deserve submission.
Traditionally-minded women need to abandon this idea that in order to submit, they must infantilise themselves and put themselves at the mercy of inferior men. Challenge his masculinity, make him rise to the occasion, make him earn your voluntary submission. Men are not entitled to female submission by virtue of having a penis.
Women who submit to men who haven't earned it only enable weakness in men. The world does not need more weak men. The world also does not need more weak women. Women, stand up for yourselves if you're not being treated right and refuse to submit to men who haven't earned the privilege of leadership. A man who is worthy of leading will be able to do so effectively through his own gravitas and masculine presence and will have no need to resort to abuse, bullying, or disrespect.
