“I don’t respect men who talk abusively to women, though, which is what Archie did.“

I recall my Dad saying that if he called my Mom a dingbat, he would get an 80 cast iron fry pan to the side of his head when he wasn’t looking.
I took that to heart. When I married, there was no question about talking that way to MY wife.
Good for you, and your wife, and any children you may have had.
Your dad was a wise man, and you are also. No woman should be treated like that. I don’t care who she is.
