If these people can't even manage to form a functioning relationship between a married couple based on equality and mutual respect, it's no wonder they can't deal with the rest of society except by trying to subjugate it.

What, wasn't von Sacher-Masoch available then?

"Eventually, I might have figured this out on my own, but I’m glad to have had the privilege of being taught by Debi to be a proper help meet and keeper of my home!"
Translation: I can't think on my own at all so I let other decide everything for me.

Sure, a two headed dragon shooting flames at each other sucks for the dragon, but imagine what could happen when those two heads work together. Instead of one fire breathing dragon head you'd have two to deal with!
Isn't that what relationships are supposed to be about? Teamwork? Cooperation? Compromise? Love? What the hell is the point when one is just subservient to the other?

"mean, if we saw a two-headed sheep standing out in the field, we’d rightly think, ‘There is something terribly wrong with that!"
and yet these girls do just fine.
you know waht the difference is? people communicate and cooperate, and sheep don't.
households work the same way.

It's funny, because monsters don't exist, to begin with, with one, two or three, for that matter. And that dicotomy exists. In fact, enterprises, workshops and other institutions work that way, with two bosses. And indeed, a marriage is the same. The help-mate and the stuff is both a bad translation and an opinion from the guys who wrote it, not God's. Moreover, if the woman is to be subordinate of the man FOR NO GOOD REASON, how do you reconcile it with the notion of free will, sin and responsibility before God?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of a brainwashing victim. Notice how she admits to her former way of thinking, but quickly rejects it. Notice her outlandish comparison to describe her former way of thinking. Notice how she thanks her brainwasher (Debi) for helping her to see the truth, but never expands on HOW this person "taught" her. Through it all, she never once has a single logical thought, but rather proclaims her decision to become a doormat. This quote is more sad than funny when you look at it.

Can anyone explain what "help meet" means? I can see what it suggests, but I don't get the wording.

Can anyone explain what "help meet" means?
It's an example of modern people misreading the Elizabethan English of the KJV. In Genesis 2:18, the KJV says: "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
"Meet" in this case is an adjective, meaning "suitable or fit."
So the quote really means "I will make him a helper fit for him", and what is going on is the idea that women work well together with men, and nothing else that God had created (such as all the animals) had the capacity to be Adam's partner.
I've wondered why the two ideas: "women work well with men" and "a man needs the help of a woman" seem to combine together in fundies' minds as "women should stay home and do the laundry."
Oh, and Jonathan: great response. You, sir, win an internet.

Remember women, you're below the male species, so bow your heads and you might get the crust.

Though I can only imagine what it must be like if they ever do get into an argument...

what is a woman doing, writing a book? She's stealing time from her husband who has a right to 24/7 commitment, rather than a woman giving time to her own amusements. And equally importantly, a woman has no place telling others (even women) how to act. That's for the husband to do, even if it means using loving chastisement
