“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?
