“I hope you don’t oppress your wife.”
What a strange thing to say.
In what way would I oppress her?
She’s an independent soul with her own autonomy.
I wish I’d thought to respond this way to those comments at work one day.
Instead, I just gazed back at them perplexed, and walked away.
“Had they hit a nerve?” they might have wondered.
Not in the way they imagined. Hit a nerve with their assumptions only.
How can a believer oppress another, knowing oppression is severely condemned?
