As for the submissive thing, I get your point, but it's kind of for lack of a better word. If you get final say on those things, what else would you call it? You could maybe say cooperative, but to many women out there, this could still sound like no one has final say. What else would you call her trusting your judgement to steer the ship? I understand submission has negative connotations. The message is that a ship with two captains is chaos. Even in a plane with two pilots, you have a captain and a copilot. The captain has final say on important decisions. Would you not say that the copilot needs to submit to that leadership? It is a consensual relationship, the copilot chose to be there, and understands that's what the nature of the thing would be. When submission is used here, we don't mean tolerance of abuse or something like that. Perhaps a better word would be "deferential". But do you expect people to know that word? There's something to be said for memes that use simple language. They spread easier, despite lack of precision. Something that must be understood is that we are fighting a culture change. We've accepted the rotting away of culture long enough because we know things just change over time, but now we notice leaks in the hull, and if we do not repair those, this ship is going to sink. All the while people are either denying the leaks or saying that the leaks are good because we need water or whatever.
