Regardless of your political stand you’ve got to had it to Huckabee; the man stands his ground. It was once said that “To have power and to choose not to exercise it is greater power still.” And Mr. Huckabee, I think, feels he is placing women in this position. A good rebuttal and some history to his stand can be found here.
I think I understand his opponents views about gender based hierarchy. But don’t we all find ourselves in positions of submission by which we have no choice? There are social submission I make daily as a citizen of the United States. Whether or not you agree with gender based hierarchy, it does raise the question; under what circumstances should a hierarchy be based? Submission is a natural part of society and one of the beauties of the human situation, that differentiates itself from the other creatures on the planet, is the ability to lead while submitting to a greater power; even if it is an opposing power.
