Sister Wives – Cute or Creepy?
What is the cardinal rule- Never talk about Religion or Politics?
That probably goes double for Blogging, but I’ve been watching that “Sister Wives” show and it just bugs me! I can’t figure out why, I mean I was raise Christian, but I don’t have a problem with Gays – why do I have such a problem with these polygamists?
I think it aggravates me because:
1) it’s a male dominated religion – If the women were allowed to have a dozen or so husbands, I’d be ok with it – but not only do these woman have to share a husband, they have to WORK TOO!
2) because I don’t like to share! – I probably don’t have to explain – “I don’t like to share”.
Perspective time:
1) If my daughter came home and told me she was marrying a guy with 3 wives how would I feel? – I’d hate it. Again Male Dominated Religion!! Male Dominated anything – EH!
2) Would I disown her? Heck No!
SIGH – they all seem so nice too.

That chick ‘Theresa’ isn’t as creepy as she is Annoying! And even more annoying is her daughter Victoria.
There’s a gift I’m happy to live without.
Ever wonder how it is some people are considered crazy and others make money “Seeing Dead People”?
Ok, back to my “How To” posts.
Thank you for listening to my “Randomish” I’ll be posting actual articles now.
I find it creepy. There are other things that bother me too about this kind of polygamy – the man always seems to be better dressed and groomed than the women; their submission is troubling, this is not a 3 way sexual relationship where I could understand polygamy/3 way love: this seems to be a man collecting wives for his own benefit and it also seems to be women getting into a relationship/family/way of life where they are at a disadvantage every step of the way…I could go on and on. I don’t share either. I am very open minded and liberal thinking…VERY. But this is just wrong.
I agree, I don’t like the “Man in Control” bit. Christianity has always taught that ‘wives should be submissive to their husbands’ – as does most other religions – obviously MEN wrote them Bible.
I will say, he does seem to love them, but yeah the submissive part … not this girl!
Love that you tossed in some randomness. This was fun to read. More more more 🙂 But don’t skimp on the How To’s!!! 🙂
Sister wives is just creeping me out. I see these women have intelligence about themselves. Are they brainwashed? I can’t help to wonder if they have some serious self esteem issues. What stable women with a good self worth about herself would share her husband. Kody appears to me to be a very womanizing man slut! I don’t know how else to word it. He ccompletely creeps me out. It makes me nauseous to watch him act as though he ismthis morally upstanding guy! It is so disturbing to me on so many levels!!
If you haven’t read Caroline Jessup’s book, you should. It will open your eyes even more to how damaging polygamy is to a woman’s soul. A man is lucky enough to get and keep ONE woman; this is blatant disdain for womanhood, pure and simple.
I just do not like that man. It is not a cute show and I am concerned about the immaturity of the adults. I am a long time feminist and want to be free to do what I want and perhaps this is the problem. Even when Creepy Kody is blatantly wrong with the children he still gets his way.
I absolutely agree with both Amy and Joanne. I am watching Dr. Phil who has another polygamist family that has decided to make themselves public. “Joe” has 3 wives and 23 children between the 4 of them. What I find extremely disturbing is that upon describing the relationship that the wives have with this “cheater” is that the night it is her turn to have Joe sleep in her bed, she gets to sit beside him at the table for dinner. The example these immature adults are setting for their children is just appalling. There is a good reason why polygamy is illegal.
Sister Wives is definitely creepy. I believe in biblical submission of a wife to their husband, (does NOT mean she is a weak doormat,) but I also believe that Christ calls men to respect women and more than one wife is definitely not respecting the women.
God very clearly tells us that marriage is one man and one woman.
Yes, the Biblical Submission of a wife to their husband does mean weak doormat. It’s no different then the extremist Islamic definition – you’ve just been brainwashed to believe other wise.
Even the Bible teaches us to close our eyes and to be ignorant – Good Job!
