 Glad someone else's man does the cooking. I get evil looks from other women around here when I tell them Brandon does all the cooking around the house. |  | |

Please. Do you see that written in the Consitution anywhere? "Do not question a man because then you will go to hell because you are bad! Bad! Bad woman!"
Go, Annie! It made me laugh, of course, because it's just so ridiculous. But then I kept reading it, and it just started to make me angry. It's just so sad. This is, like, actual advice...like Cosmopolitan for the 50's.  | | | |

That's so ridiculous!! These woman are being suppressed, and they don't even realize it, or they do, and they just don't care! How could anyone live their life like that?  I just don't GET IT. | | | |

Does it really matter who does the cooking? Isn't the more important concern getting fed? I mean, seriuosly. Why were men regarded as so much more important? All they did was work. I'm not saying they put in a hard day, but so did women! And some guys probably didn't even work that hard! But women did because they were brainwashed into thinking they had to. | | | |

I don't understand what you're saying. I agree it's crazy it happened 50 years ago, but are you saying it's crazy that it doesn't happen now? | | | |

I think it still does happen now. Just in different ways. There's always women
being beaten and abused. We have thousands of women's shelters and they're
all needed. In my opinion that's just as bad if not worse then the way women
were treated 50 years ago. It doesn't seem like we've made much progress.
Yeah, some people still believe it, but back then EVERYONE, including the women, believed it, so we definitely have made a lot of progress. | | | |

I have a question. Back then, it was understood that men were supposed to
protect women and treat them with manners etc. Does it seem to you that that
view has started to dissapear? Is that a good thing? should us men still treat you
differently and try to protect you even though you want us to treat you the same
as equals? I'm not saying equality is bad, I'm saying I think men and women are
different. What do you think?
Any guy who has tried to hold open a door for a hardcore feminist knows why
I'm asking this.
Personally, I don't care. I think it's nice when a guy holds a door open for a girl, or gives her his jacket. The difference is that that to me is romantic. You see it in all the romatic love movies. But is that all it is? A movie scene? I don't know. It depends on the girl.
Some girls feel, "I can open a door for myself," but I see it as, "Yes, I can hold a door open for myself, but it was sweet of him to do it for me." And maybe next time I'll hold the door open for him and let him go in first. Is it really that big of a deal? No. It's just a kind gesture. | | | | Edited: October 02, 2005 @ 04:16 |  |

I don't think it's that the veiw has "disappeared". Back then the beatings and the disrespect were done behind closed doors. There were no calls to the police for domestic disputes. The police didn't care. If a man beat his wife, it was understood that she deserved it. Nowadays, when women have been told they have some sort of rights, they are starting to stand up for themselves. They don't just not ask questions anymore. They have realized (well, a lot of us, anyway) that this sort of thing is not OK.
So I would say that the abuse and neglect has just not been hid as much. This article was to teach women how to act to avoid the men abusing them. Be a perfect wife, don't ask questions, you won't get hurt, is basically what it is saying. | | | |

verbally, it's a heck of a lot scarier to get told off by a woman. 
Yes. It is. | | | |
