The ladies have always lead.
I wonder - could you put into words for me what my version of things is?

YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL!
How are we ever gonna keep 'em down if they ever realize they weren't down to begin with?
Annee has a clue - she mentioned the whole "feminine Wiles" thing - but there won't be no stopping them if they ALL figure that out!

Remember, Annee - they ALWAYS had the choice, because no one can be bullied who does not allow it.

It's definitely not a downgrade for women. It gave them choice.
Choice is never a downgrade IMO
Choose wisely.

Society, culture, and laws did not protect women from being bullied.

Men did.
EDIT: Yes I'm being particularly inflammatory. It's absolute bull# to believe that society has not always been interested in protecting women more than men.

Men protected women.
That's your position, right?

I grew up in an all boy neighborhood.
A lot of girls hated me in high school because the guys would take me with them as one of their friends, and not take their girlfriends. Ouch!
I've been privy to a lot in the male world.
And you can see from my avi, yes that is me, I was not " one of the boys"

No, you are wrong. Women did not always have choice.

I'm not far behind you, age-wise, but may have been privy to conversations which you were not growing up. based upon that, to hear the older (than me) fellas tell it, "equality" may be a DOWNGRADE for women.
So, the dance continues - it's just a matter of who leads.

Until they choose to go back into being housewives and get scorned for choosing the traditional roles we have been told we should be "liberated" from, that is.

Are you changing your position then, that no one can be bullied unless they allow it?
It's perfectly acceptable to do so, you know - a woman's prerogative, and all that.

I believe this last part was about laws protecting them.
Sorry to leave you hanging. I raise my high functioning 6 year old grandson with autistic behaviors. He's in need of attention right now. Priorities.

No one is scorning housewives by me. I have literally never heard someone at my work (which is loaded with housewives as customers) scorn a housewife.
