Danger of 'Wives Submit to Your Husbands' in Modern Society

A few weeks ago, R&B singer Fantasia — also known for her Gospel flare — conducted an interview with The Breakfast Club for her latest album Sketchbook, which dropped on October 11. In her interview, she advised women to "let your man lead the way," stating that the reason it is hard for women to find and keep a man is because they do not allow a man to be the leader. The comment came under heavy scrutiny on social media. In recent history, black women have often been the heads of their households. Many of these women still follow Christian doctrine. I'm left wondering if the idea of women submitting to their husbands is an outdated concept. Or perhaps, the Bible is in need of new interpretation.
