Dear Kirk Cameron, No One Asked For Your Opinion


In news that perhaps should only have made headlines a century ago, worn out actor Kirk Cameron decided to interject a pointless opinion about how wives should behave, even though no one asked him for his opinion. Noting that a submissive wife is a key component to a long-lasting marriage, Kirk Cameron spewed his conservative views on marriage on the Christian Post, a Christian news website.

Who in the Hell Is Kirk Cameron?

Kirk Cameron was part of successful TV series, “Growing Pains.” Cameron played a teenage character in the series, with Chelsea Noble, his current wife of 25 years, playing a recurring role as Cameron’s fictitious girlfriend throughout the show’s 7-year run. After they met on set, Cameron’s strong religious views demanded that Noble be a stand-in for any women that he had to kiss on set, citing his beliefs and his want to abstain from physical contact with anyone other than his girlfriend.

This Wasn’t The First Time He Spoke About His Antiquated Views

In 2014, Cameron expanded on his views on gender roles and his evangelical Christian beliefs. Cameron remarked that wives should sing, tell stories, decorate their homes, and invite the whole neighborhood for Christmas. After releasing this riveting piece of advice, he recommended that husbands surprise their wives by washing dishes. Cameron truly is an outstanding man.

Is Kirk Cameron Wrong?

Absolutely not, not in asserting his own opinion, because he is exercising his first First Amendment right – as he should. However, in a current culture that tells women when to smile, how to dress, how to behave, how to transition, and how to reject a man’s advances – with sometimes dire outcomes – it is harmful to continuously hear uninvited opinions about how a woman should exist, even if it comes from a mildly relevant actor.
