Yep. The divorce rate in the U.S. is one of the highest in the world.
It's an absolute blast at parties...

And does the rest of the world have a large number of women who stay at home, behaving like this gentleman describes?
I suspect not.

Yes, a lot of the world does, but besides that, point out to me where he says women must stay home.

I think that a large number of the countries that have women who act like this gentleman describes are of a religious nature.
However, the religion in question is not Christianity.

Infuriation (a word I just invented, incidentally), doesn't even begin to cover it.

More annoyingly, I just Googled "infuriation", and apparently it's a word.

Actually, if you read the article, he makes a few good points.
One is about the power of police. Guys on my side of the political fence worry about militarization of police...If you've read anything I've written about no-knock warrants, SWAT for simple arrests, etc., you know I consider some of that bad police work. The author also points out sweeping some police abuse cases under the rug - that's also a known problem.
Mik makes the ultimate point...Much of the problem is cultural.
Which is much of the problem in the initial article, don't you think?

Ignoring the somewhat bizarre and extreme nature of what he's saying, what I did notice about both articles is that he seems to be blaming the problems on groups which he doesn't belong to. He's saying that the police are pretty much responsible for all the violence, and the wimminz are shouldering much of the blame for not knowing their place.
He uses the phrase 'getting the mote of your own eye first', and then proceeds to blame everybody else.

In the first article, you may find that bizarre, but it used to be a common way of life. It's still not uncommon down here.
And if finances permit, it actually makes for a pretty decent home life.
Of course, that's not the only thing mentioned in the piece...

Funnily enough, Mrs. Phibes has looked after our kids their whole lives, and hasn't worked other than part-time work a few years back. It was her choice, and we made a number of sacrifices on that basis.
The point isn't whether somebody does it or not. It's about some guy, or bunch of guys, telling people how to live.
The way he talks about women is pretty creepy, if you ask me. Feel free to disagree, but he's still pretty creepy.

I don't find it creepy, I find it Biblical. It lays out tasks and and responsibilities. The husband is tasked to be the provider. He should provide for his family's needs. In return, the woman also has her tasks and responsibilities. She is tasked to be the "help meet" of the family.
According to the author, neither should allow the lusts of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh nor the pride of life to undercut the role of either.
The author also talks about the introduction of debt into a marriage and who is responsible for it. He goes on to talk about frugality and eradication of debt within a home, which both husband and wife have part in accomplishing.
And he makes another statement, which many might disagree with, but can certainly wreck a home...If a woman wants or feels like she needs to work outside of her home, it should be a joint decision of husband and wife.
Lastly, the article is written for everybody, but I feel it has a certain emphasis for the black community and the dissolution of the black family.

Yep, only religious nuts read the Bible.
I suggest as a Christian you read the Bible, in context, of course. You can argue with it, but the Scriptures are pretty plain on the delineation of marital roles. You may find otherwise, but the Bible provides a pretty good roadmap for a successful and fruitful life.

Reading the Bible, using scripture to establish marital roles, and living a Christian lifestyle is all fine by me. I've no problem with any of that.
But, I'd also say that anyone who thought that quoting scripture to me granted them the right to inject themselves as my marriage counselor could kindly fuck right off.
