Personal Opinion - Obedient Wives Club

I still do not and will never understand or agree with the 'Obedient Wives Club'.

No one can go against it, because it's based on religion. But the name of the club pisses me off, I mean... Come on! 'Obedient Wives'?? Really?? How about 'Female Self-Empowerment Club' or something less similar to referring to wives as trained dogs. Definition of the word 'obedient':

"Complying or willing to comply with orders or requests; submissive to another's will - Google"

In international news, it was mentioned that the 'Obedient Wives Club' angers Women's Rights Group. Well, doesn't it. Referring to women as objects and the traditional thinking of women serving their husbands. View and refer to the photo below to read what the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG), which includes the Women's Aid Organisation, Sisters in Islam and Women's Centre for Change, have to say about this. They have my full respect!

The fact that the main reason of this 'club' is to reduce the amount of failed marriages, i believe that it is not right. When a marriage fails, both parties are at fault. So why put the blame on women? Create an 'Obedient Husbands Club' and it will be reported as discrimination and will be protested by men. Now we have the men of these members, feeling happy and hopeful that their wives would acquire amazing skills for activities in the bedroom.

Of course he does! He's going to receive better sex (or he thinks he is)! Why wouldn't he agree?

Talk about conservative, I thought our country has always emphasized the fact that we are a Muslim country. And now, we have the this joke of a club teaching women to be (I quote the vice-president of the club, Dr. Rohaya Mohamed) "better than a first-class prostitute". After her words went viral in the media, it has been savaged and subjected to ridicule, she covers up with, "I believe we have been misunderstood and misinterpreted. When we said that husbands should treat their wives like first-class prostitutes, we were not putting wives on the same level with prostitutes. We are talking about first-class elite types, not street hooker types". No matter the types of escort or prostitute she compares, 'street hookers' or 'first-class elite types', it still means 'prostitute'!

I agree with the Johor Islamic Council advisor, Datuk Nooh Gadut, who said "The use of the term 'first-class prostitute' was extreme, adding that marriages in Islam should not be just for sex but for, among others, love." - The Star Online

I am very curious about what their meetings or classes consist of. It had me thinking, teaching modern wives how to please their men in the bedroom, how would they possibly conduct the classes? Then the coordinator of the 'Obedient Wives Club', Fauziah Arrifin, when questioned on what these classes consist of, stated that the club will not be giving out practical sex lessons as it is illegal. In an earlier interview, Dr. Rohaya Mohamed mentioned that the club would provide bedroom lessons to the Obedient Wives Club's 1,000 members. This statement of hers received a comment from Fauziah Arrifin explaining that their lessons will consist of motivational talks and discussions among the members. The talks will be conducted by her, Dr Rohaya Mohamed, and eight other committee members. So in layman terms, it means it will be a theory lesson. What happened to practice makes perfect? Yes, I maybe contradicting, but I feel that if you are going to teach these wives to be 'better than first-class prostitutes', teach them right! Imagine what those theory lessons would be like. *A meeting room. Members seated on one side of the room. Speakers standing on the other side, in front of a projector. An image of male genitalia projected onto a white screen background.* Oh, come on!! It doesn't work that way! To make the speakers jobs easier, they should just project scenes from pornography films.

This is sexual discrimination. Very one sided argument to blame women for failed marriages. Do you agree? What are your views on this 'club'? And to the men, how would you feel if a 'Obedient Husbands Club' is created to teach you to be submissive and obedient to comply to your wives orders and requests?
