/// I know a lot of older men who believe women should be 'kept in their place', living only to make the lives of their men comfortable and think it is only right and proper that they make all the major decisions. ///
Do you really know a lot of old men or are you just assuming?
I could also say that I know a lot of women who have a firm hold on the purse strings and demand that they make all major decisions themselves.
/// I know a few older men who believe that as they are retired they can do as they darn well please, never lift a finger round the house or make so much as a cup of tea while their wives keep on doing all the cooking, cleaning ///
I could also say that I know many older men, who throughout their younger days, served their country, fixed the family car, carried out all the DIY jobs around the house and garden, opened hard to open jars etc etc.
Yes all that while holding down a job to support his wife and family, so wasn't it fair for the wife to stay comfortable at home to look after the children when they weren't at school, and to do a little cooking and cleaning in their spare time?
