yesman, you might have misunderstood me--which is understandable, because my punctuation often sucks. I'll try to clarify my point...

a) 500, 1000, and more years ago, there were many societies that were female-dominated.

b) Today, more than the opposite is true. Most societies are male-dominated--look at business, government, religion, law enforcement, military.

c) Yes, the Good Housekeeping feature was dated 1955. Yes, most married women were expected to only be housewives, but there's some extra frightening shit in that article. That's why I said we desperately needed feminism, to get people out of that sado-masochistic circle of hell.

d) So today, women are in the workplace in great numbers, whether it be for single or dual incomes. And they don't have some mainstream magazine telling them they should sit tight when their hubby's out all night, and smile sweetly when his cheatin' drunky-ness comes home in the morning. These were the results of feminism. However, see b).
