A BestofRedditorUpdates about a couple in a traditionalist relationship (i.e. classically "patriarchy") in which clearly the wife is abusive. A sad story to read, and I feel for the husband.

My husband (34) and I (31) were set up by family members almost seven
years ago. Our families are conservative and value marrying young, and
we were both getting a little old to be unmarried by their standards.

I'd just about lay money on them being Mormon. Another gem from her posting history:

I don’t know. He’s seriously harming my life with this divorce, so I
want to make it as even as I can by taking as much of the custody as
possible.

and

We’re separated and I’m going to leave the kids with him so I can become
a nun. I’ve decided that I never want to deal with men or the people in
my life ever again. If the nuns won’t have me I’m going to skip town,
get a job and live the rest of my life as a heathen. So rest assured
that I’m not going to abuse him again because we’re barely going to
speak.

a couple in a traditionalist relationship

I doubt they actually ever had a traditionalist relationship -- one where the husband had the final say and she respected that and didn't continue to try to influence him after he made it plain.

I grew up in a pretty fundamentalist church and despite nominally teaching the above, they were really bad at countering the influence feminism has on women and at teaching young men to be strong and attractive.

It's rare that someone this crazy can write so articulately, which raises doubts in my mind about the authenticity of this.

Point about initiating sex sounds good despite many other crazy points, but even this for certain women would be "sex pest"

My head hurts so much after reading that , it's too bizarre that someone can have they're head so far up their own ass and be so toxic. I am dumbfounded.
