A Kossack diary reports that Mike Huckabee endorsed the idea that women should "submit" to husbands:

In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: "I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention." What was in the family statement from the SBC? "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."

The ad wasn't just a blanket, "we support the SBC statement," but rather highlighted details. The ad Huckabee signed specifically said of the SBC family statement: "You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership."

That statement is a direct attack on women's autonomy, and its impact is only increased for lesbians who aren't going to be dealing with a husband any time soon, much less "submitting."

But what else are women going to do besides "submit" to their husbands, marry each other and destroy civilization?
