I think this is why women who subscribe to the concept of wifely submission often seem radical, reactionary, or even libertine in their ideas about other topics. Digging up the classics, rampant libertarianism, crunchy hippy gardening, etc.

They're rooted in this one, major aspect and they simply don't have to think about it, anymore. So, they are free to think about absolutely everything else and much hilarity ensues.

What do women think about, when they aren't jostling for power with their lover?

They're thinking about how to take over the world, of course.
