In Crayola, a pope leads the Church, the Church leads the faithful, the husband leads "the domestic Church."
Hierarchic, militant, perfectly societal, most rightly ordered, by Wisdom Himself.
Someone like Stubborn's "wife", to follow principle, should say he's her husband, then do as she likes; if that happens to have some correlation to his will, to his determination, then "Cool beans."
If not, then she can just inform him, "I love you, but I'm being God's good servant till you get with His (as she has determined and so willed) program, then I'll give you back your pants; they're a little too baggy for me anyway. That skirt does make your eyes pop though."
Inversion, subversion, wrong order, unreason.
In a word, "Jew".
