Thank you finelinebob for your princely response.
I wish more men would respond to this lady's post, b/c this husband's reaction is IMO culturally supportable, and though I know that's wrong, it would make me feel better to see more male agreement. OR disagreement, if there are guys out there who can commiserate w/ this fellows reaction, I'd listen w/ an open mind and try to see his perspective.
This is such a big bewildering difference btwn guys and dolls! Most men know from the gitgo that I'm a woman who runs her mouth so Mr. Decorum need not apply, but every man I've ever been with has eventually expressed disdain about my need for mutual support and confession among a like-minded community. As if it's a weakness of mine he doesn't have, or approve of.
CONTROL! CONTROL! Why does control give them such a hard-on, especially when women always and ultimately chafe at the bit? Arggggh!
There are so many real problems btwn the sexes that truly deserve our sober consideration but they just make this one up, it has no basis outside social systems inspired by Mussolini, and try telling him that and you get a 15 minute lecture on the ins and out of fascism, and why the analogy does not apply in our particular circumstances.BOYS!! You can't live with 'em and you can't ship 'em to Belsen.
