I feel like "women's liberation" began as we began to see that work was both intellectually rewarding and way to care for ourselves, given men can’t always be relied upon to provide a reliable “economic home." At the same time, other women sought greater respect and recognition for their management of the family’s home life. All this happened background of great social and economic change throughout the world during that time. But let's also be honest, it's still more difficult for women and minorities to achieve success in the modern world today, in terms of pay, promotion and workplace respect.

But the “traditional male-female-family / male dominated household” has not lost its relevance either. This usually simply means that some women (not me) have a tremendous desire to have children, and the more traditional cultural model is best way to accomplish that. I think that's one very important reason why the “sperm banks” you referred to are so popular – it seems many people go to any length to have babies. Many women will give up their place in the career ladder in order to raise children, usually at great economic sacrifice. My mother and other women I know, the domestic child-rearing household eventually leads to the "empty nest" period, when aging women begin to feel unproductive, lonely and bored. Older children can provide a sort of support system in later life — but let's face it, in these economic times, older children as a support system is very unreliable.

The Submissive Wife Project was born in part from recognizing and respecting household relationships from a more traditional, more innate and inherently natural in women -- fundamental qualities we never forgot -- stemming from our desire to please and to care for others, particularly in managing the home. It also recognizes that when you love, respect and obey your husband unconditionally, he will become a better man and play his role as head of the household more effectively. When your man is respected and supported as a Master, his greatness and natural wisdom can flourish. I believe this can benefit men and women economically as well as providing more satisfying home life.

The concept of women as the property of men brings in an entirely enhanced and formalized psychological element to the traditional male-dominated / submissive female model, providing a greater level of structure, formality, defense and respect to the traditional roles. It gives women a greater spiritual, psychological, emotional and sexual foundation and "awareness" for their day-to-day behavior and approach to their place in the home with their Master. It also provides a rationale, framework for the Master to create rules, rituals and expectations for their women property. Both of these roles the male-dominated / submissive female dynamic, but requires more time and effort for both to support and protect and build on the traditional Man / woman domestic relationship.
