When I read this kind of stuff lately, all I really see is "Help me"  I've seen enough offline to know that trad posters always have mean, at least emotionally if not physically abusive husbands behind the scenes. Posting declarative inflexible statements like this is a cope for something being very, very wrong at home  Bad man + bad marriage = fundamentalism to try to validate and make sense of it. They post these dogmas seeking validation for what they know is an invalid situation.
