Has anybody seen the little photograph at the beginning of the study article in the September 15, 2003 Watchtower (on page 10) about marriage? I have scanned, annotated, and attached it here.
Notice the large discrepancy between the eye levels depicted of the husband and wife. The wife is looking way up at her husband, and he is looking across toward Jesus God the Watchtower.
Although I myself am not a woman (yes, I?m male), it still sickens me to look at this type of imposed stereotyping of the God-assigned Watchtower-assigned roles for men and women. I would imagine that this would be rather offensive to women with any shred of dignity and sense of fairness and justice. (I suppose I?m sort of a ?male feminist? in that I have empathy for anyone who is forced to be disadvantaged by others, whether it be related to gender, ethnicity, orientation, or the like. I?m NOT gay, or overly effeminate ? just sympathetically indignant.)
I just thought I would run this by you folks here to see what you think of this example of the Borg?s not-so-subtle ?guerilla marketing? tactics to purvey their brand of political correctness.
