I think that it has something to do with how women are taught to believe that we must "protect" men from women's problems, whether of the reproductive sort or the constant, every-day threat of some sort of attack, verbal or physical.

Mostly it just surprises me. Glad that Annie fought off her attacker.<br /><br />I laid down the law when Marc and I first started going out. I told him in no uncertain terms that I didn't do double standards, that whatever was good for him was good for me and vice versa, that he was not and never would be the boss of me or my daddy. I surely thought that we were on our way beyond the patriarchy but it appears not. Two steps forward and one back is still progress I guess.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-1303835382190821562022-07-24T11:53:05.420-04:002022-07-24T11:53:05.420-04:00That is very strange, about Annie.

Like Claudia I wonder if one of the other chickens attacked her?<br /><br />I probably delude myself by believing I'm not quite part of the patriarchy because I'm gay, and the patriarchy hates gay people as much as it oppresses women. (I once heard Gene Robinson, the former Episcopal bishop, argue that the oppression of gay people is in fact rooted in misogyny -- not that gay men are women, but they are viewed by the straight male patriarchy as weaker and therefore more "feminine," and therefore, like women, become targets.) But I know as a white man I still have many privileges, including many I'm probably not even aware of. I try very hard NOT to be defensive on this subject because I firmly believe it's all true.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-73271865439013513582022-07-24T07:58:31.029-04:002022-07-24T07:58:31.029-04:00I have the same problem sleeping in.

When do we as mothers capitulate and tell our daughters that the world is not a safe place for them? When they are toddlers, teenagers? Do we even tell them or is it ingrained in our behaviour? Where are the fathers and the brothers? Why do we let them stay out of it?Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-50554083956810230822022-07-23T21:49:18.182-04:002022-07-23T21:49:18.182-04:00I came of age on the cusp between women requiring ...I came of age on the cusp between women requiring a husband's permission and not.
