Some men were true gentlemen and cared for their wives and family. There were also those men who enjoyed the power trip of dominating their family. Back then though there was no way out for the women trapped in a marriage like that. Now there is. In the process though we've lost the freedom to enjoy the men who are caring and not power tripping.

I would be perfectly happy to play the submissive housewife, barefoot and pregnant even if they wanted, if I found a man who really did care for and respect me. Who appreciates the things done for him and his family. There's nothing wrong with allowing the man to lead and protect. As long as he IS protecting. Too many men are too self serving to do both. They want the power but not the responsibility. Step up to the plate guys and you might find a few women out there who'll gladly do just about anything you want in return.
