True Woman Manifesto

Recently CBMW and Revive Our Hearts had what they called a True Woman conference where they unveiled what they called the True Woman Manifesto.

I am wondering what the comps that hang out here think of it.
Would they sign it or encourage their wife to sign?
Do they have any concerns with it and so would decline [...]

the joy of complementarianism

Some women who function within complementarian marriages and churches state that they experience joy from being complementarian.
