Whatever choice women make, it is theirs and should be beyond comment or criti- cism. Most people have strong views on a number of topics including how they should live their lives, and, as we all know, won’t change their views, no matter what “good” reasons they may be offered.
Speak Up! I cook dinner, and shop for food. I like to cook, and always have. I am not crazy about the food shopping, but I also don’t mind doing it. I also help with clean-up and my wife fills the dishwasher and wipes down the counters. If she is not feeling well, I do the after dinner chores. The most cooking many men do is steaks and hamburg- ers on the grill. I also cook outside, mainly because there is less to clean up inside. My wife runs an active non-profit environmental education program from home, and my participation helps her a great deal. I know of two women who work full time, yet still come home and cook dinner for their families. One has a night job. I am curious about how many other working women do the same and, if they do, how much help they get from their partners. If they are on their own, it’s time they made some changes.
Speak Up! On two TV programs, House Hunters, and First Time Home Buyers some of the husbands insist on a “man cave.” What nonsense – a room in the new house where men can have their pals in to drink beer and watch sports on TV or play poker while their wives wait on them with snacks. I can’t understand why the wives don’t rebel at this macho request. It’s another room in the house that could be far better used, and it may add to the cost.
Who cooks and who tolerates man caves are way far less important when com- pared with how women are being slighted and demeaned by denying them their rights. Make no mistake, they are rights, and in no way privileges.
