“I am convinced,” he said on one (tape), that “because God has said that woman’s role is to be submissive, that what they really want is for you to be the decision-maker . . . Wives ought be subject to their husbands in everything. That includes physical relationships.” On another he discussed disciplining children: “I’ve spanked boys as old as sixteen and seventeen . . . I hit them with a boat oar ...I tell them, if you use drugs, I’m going to spank you with a boat oar. But I don’t do that with girls unless they’ve started puberty” (Domanick, 1994:325-326).
