Perhaps you might understand if I called is Dominionism versus Patriarchy irt BJU. They absolutely teach wives submit to husbands. They also teach an unhealthy underlying submission to authority, regardless of gender. However, authority is found in MEN at BJU. Women walk away from their parents at adulthood but remain under the authority of a husband, or if there is no husband than the leadership.

Because VF and their ilk have taken Patriarchal concepts even further than BJU doesn't make them not Patriarchal, it makes them (incredibly) less controlling on that aspect, thus why Dominionism might be a better term for you to grasp what I'm talking about.

Honestly, until the rise of this SAHD stuff, all Patriarchal groups acknowledged that parental authority ended at adulthood and spousal authority didn't begin until marriage. The question of what happened to a single, adult woman is what led to the rise of SAHD ideologies. Once those arrose, it was easy to take them further and extend the authority of a father over adult daughters, to married adult daughters, to state that he must transfer his authority to a husband...yet in some ways she still falls under his authority...and for that matter adult sons do as well.

This new stance of Patriarchy and SAHD has been an evolution. Before it began, they were in agreement with BJU and others such as Micheal Pearl who have not follow down the path of this current evolution.
