Teaching female obedience

Help Meet
I stumbled upon this (see how below). It’s a site promoting a book called Created to be His Help Meet, and it’s a manual for women on how to be obedient wives. The author categorizes men and based on that categorization, she explains the manner in which the wife should obey her husband. Here’s an excerpt from the “Command Man” chapter:

They are known for expecting their wives to wait on them hand and foot. A Command Man does not want his wife involved in any project that prevents her from serving him. If you are blessed to be married to a strong, forceful, bossy man, as I am, then it is very important for you learn how to make an appeal without challenging his authority. We will discuss how to make an appeal later in this book.

…A woman married to a Command Man has to earn her place in his heart by proving that she will stand by her man, faithful, loyal, and obedient. When she has won his confidence, he will treasure her to the extreme.

OK, good luck to you.

I don’t need to point out how asinine all of this is. What I want to is what the fuck is a “Help Meet?”

    Oops, I forgot…
    I feel compelled to say how I found this. I frequent a number of web design sites and one of them is CSS Beauty. They showcase websites that have been newly redesigned to exemplify strong design regardless of content. Seriously. Here’s proof.
