Biblical Submission and Gender Roles

Butterfield emphasizes the importance of adhering to biblical gender roles and submission, which she views as protective and empowering rather than oppressive. She argues that true submission is tied to Christian faithfulness and provides historical examples like Jenny Geddes to illustrate this point. 'A godly woman’s best defense against a potentially abusive husband is church membership in a biblically faithful church where she is a member in good standing,' she asserts.
